The WAN Ethernet Configuration screen is where you configure the parameters that control the Netopia R910’s
connection to a specific remote destination, usually your ISP or a corporate site.
1.
To enable address translation, toggle Address Translation Enabled to Yes (the default). For more
information on Network Address Translation, see
Chapter 9, “IP Setup and Network Address Translation.”
Address Translation Enabled allows you to specify whether or not the router per forms Network Address
Translation (NAT) on the Ethernet WAN por t. NAT is enabled by default.
2.
To manually configure an IP address for use on the Ethernet WAN por t, select Local WAN IP Address and
enter the IP address you want to use.
Other wise, accept the default value 0.0.0.0. If you accept the default, the Netopia R910 Ethernet Router
will act as a DHCP client on the Ethernet WAN por t and attempt to acquire an address from a DHCP ser ver.
By default, the router acts as a DHCP client on the Ethernet WAN por t and obtains its IP address and
subnet mask from the DHCP ser ver.
3.
A new field Local WAN IP Mask (not shown) becomes visible only if you have configured a non-zero
Ethernet IP address. If you have configured a non-zero Ethernet IP address, enter an appropriate subnet
mask.
4.
Select NEXT SCREEN and press Return. The IP Easy Setup screen appears.
