This Netopia Quick Guide details how to setup a connection between your Windows PC or Macintosh and your Netopia 3342 Pocket Modem. Please note: This quick guide assumes you already have run the Installation Wizard that you received with the Pocket Modem. If you have not run the Installation Wizard please do so at this time.

Getting Started; TCP/IP

Note: By default, your Netopia gateway has an Ethernet IP Address of 192.168.1.254, and also has DHCP (IP Address Serving) enabled. If you wish to use DHCP and want the Netopia to assign an IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS to your workstations (in Windows), select the options to "Obtain IP Address Automatically" and leave the Default Gateway section empty. If there is a Default Gateway listed, select it and remove. If IP Address Serving is not configured properly on the Netopia, DHCP will not work and your workstation will not be able to obtain an IP Address.

Remember to click the button to save any entries. Hitting the back button without clicking will undo any changes.

Once you have completed your configuration, click on the symbol in your upper right hand corner to validate the changes. Then click on Save and Restart.

PC Telnet / Browser Access

1. From your Windows desktop, go to Start and select Run.
2. In the dialog field enter command or cmd (depending upon the Windows version you have) and click OK to open your DOS prompt.
3. At the prompt type in telnet followed by a space and the local IP address of the router. NOTE: By default the LAN address is set at 192.168.1.254; netmask 255.255.255.0. If this value has been changed during previous configuration, enter the correct IP address for your device. Hit Enter and open the telnet session where the 3342 will prompt you to enter and confirm a new password.
4. After confirming the password the 3342 will ask you to log in. Use the word admin for the login and enter the password you just configured for the password.
5. If you are able to telnet into the router, then you will be able to browse into the router's GUI configuration menu. Just open a browser window, highlight the address bar and type in the same gateway address you used to telnet to the pocket modem.

Macintosh Telnet / Browser Access

Note: Mac Operating Systems prior to OS 10.X do not have a Telnet Client on them by default. You will need to download one in order to telnet into the router. If you do not wish to download one, you can use your web browser to access the router¹s configurations pages. If you do not have a Telnet client on your machine please proceed to step 3.

1. Open your Telnet application.
2. In the Host/Session Name, enter the LAN Ethernet IP address and click on Connect. See Figure 2.
   
3. Once the telnet session is established the 3342 will prompt you to enter and confirm a password
4. After confirming the password the 3342 will ask you to log in. Use the word admin for the login and enter the password you just configured for the password
5. If you are able to telnet into the router, then you will be able to browse into the router's GUI configuration menu. Just open a browser window, highlight the address bar and type in the router's default LAN IP 192.168.1.254

Conclusion

The purpose of this Quick Guide has been to provide directions on establishing communication between the router and a computer on your LAN. If you are using the Network Address Translation feature on the router, you can duplicate the settings outlined here for additional computers, giving each workstation its own unique IP address on your subnet. Additional Quick Guides on our website can give you step-by-step instructions for other features of the Netopia router.
