2-4 Firmware User Guide
If you want the Netopia Router to advertise its routing table to other routers via RIP, select Transmit RIP
and select v1, v2 (broadcast), or v2 (multicast) from the popup menu. With Transmit RIP v1 selected, the
Netopia Firmware Version 8.4 will generate RIP packets only to other RIP v1 routers. With Transmit RIP v2
(broadcast) selected, the Netopia Firmware Version 8.4 will generate RIP packets to all other hosts on the
network. With Transmit RIP v2 (multicast) selected, the Netopia Firmware Version 8.4 will generate RIP
packets only to other routers capable of recognizing RIP v2 packets.
ADSL Line Configuration screen
The ADSL Line Configuration screen is shown below:
1. Select Circuit Type and from the pop-up menu choose the type of circuit to which you will be connecting:
Multimode, T1.413, G.dmt, or G.lite.
2. Select Trellis Coding Enabled. Toggle it to On (the default) or Off.
3. Select Signaling Mode and choose Echo Cancellation or FDM (the default).
4. If you selected Multimode Circuit Type, the Fast Retrain Enabled field appears. Toggle it to On (the default)
or Off.
5. The Wiring Type pop-up menu allows you to choose the type of copper pair wiring in use at your location.
Usually, the default AutoSense will detect the type and adjust itself accordingly. If you want to set it
yourself, and you know the type of wiring you have, choose either Tip/Ring (Inner Pair) or A/A1 (Outer Pair)
from the pop-up menu.
6. Select Data Link Encapsulation and press Return. The pop-up menu will offer you the choice of PPP or
RFC1483.
ATM Circuit Configuration
On ADSL WAN interfaces, the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) connection between the router and the
central office equipment (DSLAM) is divided logically into one or more virtual circuits (VCs). A virtual circuit may
be either a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) or a switched virtual circuit (SVC). Netopia Routers support PVCs.
