NETOPIA R5300 FRAME RELAY ROUTER

EasyStreet > Support > Routers > Netopia R5300 Frame Relay Router > Configure

The following assumptions are made regarding the setup instructions on this page:

• The router is running firmware version 4.10 or higher.

COMMUNICATING WITH THE ROUTER
There are 2 ways to connect to the Netopia router:

• SERIAL CONNECTION - This is the preferred connection.  In the box that the Netopia came in, there is a bag with a serial cable.  One end of it connects to an available COM port on your machine.  The other end connects to the CONSOLE port on the back of the Netopia.  Please reference the Netopia manual for further details.
• TELNET CONNECTION - Out of the factory, the Netopia's LAN IP is set to 192.168.1.1.  You can telnet to this IP using your preferred telnet program.  This method assumes knowledge of putting the computer you're telnetting from on the same network as the Netopia's LAN IP, including connecting the proper CAT5 ethernet cables from your computer to the Netopia's hub.  Please consult your network administrator for further details.

OBJECTIVE:
The screens below will show you how to configure the router using information EasyStreet has provided you.

NOTE:
This configuration assumes that you are getting a single public IP from EasyStreet and that the router will use NAT.  For instructions on how to configure the router if you are getting more than one public IP from EasyStreet, check the index page.
