Setting up your Router with the SmartStart Wizard 5-5

When the test is successful, SmartStart presents you with the “Additional Configuration screen,” shown below.

Additional Configuration screen. If you have a router that has a permanent unswitched connection to your ISP, such as an Ethernet WAN interface router attached to a cable modem, the Additional Configuration screen appears.

You may want to do additional configuration to customize your network environment. SmartStart lets you launch your Telnet application. Click the Telnet button to launch your Telnet application.

Advanced configuration options available via Telnet are explained in “Console-Based Management” on page 6-1.

However, if you need no further configuration options, click Quit. Congratulations! You’re done!

Advanced option

Router IP Address screen. If you selected the Advanced option in the “Easy or Advanced options screen” on page 5-4, SmartStart asks you to choose between entering the router’s current IP address and assigning an IP address to the router.

If the router has already been assigned an IP address, select the first radio button. If you do this, the “Known IP Address screen,” appears (shown below.)

If you want to reconfigure the router with a new IP address and subnet mask, select the second radio button. If you do this, the “New IP Address screen” on page 5-6appears.

When you have done this, click Next.
