Setting up your Router with the SmartStart Wizard 3-7

Optionally, an alternate DNS if your ISP provided one

If you select Manual Entry, the “Connection Profile screen,” shown below appears.

Internet Service Provider Selection screen. Select an ISP from the list of Netopia ISP partners who have provided information for automatic setup. Choose Generic ISP if your ISP is not included on the list. If you don’t already have an account with the selected ISP, call and order service using the listed customer service telephone number.

When you have done this, click Next.

Most ISPs will provide you with information for you to enter in the “Connection Profile screen” on page 3-7(shown below) over the phone using the toll-free phone number shown in the scrolling list. Generally, they will provide you with:

Your dial-up number, sometimes referred to as an ISP POP number

Your Login name and Password. (These are case-sensitive.)

Note: Your ISP may provide you with additional values such as “Remote IP Gateway” or “Subnet Mask.” These entries are not required for the SmartStart Wizard to configure your router.

If you have a PBX or Centrex phone system, you may need a dialing prefix (such as “9” for an outside line). You will enter that information in the “Connection Profile screen,” shown below.

Connection Profile screen. Enter your ISP-supplied configuration information mentioned above. All fields must be filled in except the Alternate DNS field if your ISP does not provide one. If your ISP appeared in the “Internet Service Provider Selection screen” on page 3-7your ISP will already have provided much of the information required for the connection, and these fields will appear grayed-out.

When you have done this, click Next.

The “Name and Password screen” on page 3-8 appears; this is where you enter the username and password for your connection to your ISP.
