Before running SmartStart

Be sure you have connected the cables and power source as described in Step 1 “Connect the Router” guide contained in your Netopia folio.

Before you launch the SmartStart application, make sure your computer meets the following requirements:

	PC	Macintosh
System	Windows 95, 98, or NT operating system	MacOS 7.5 or later
software
Connectivity	TCP/IP must be installed and properly	MacTCP or Open Transport TCP/IP must be
software	configured. See “Configuring TCP/IP on	installed and properly configured. See
	Windows 95, 98, or NT computers” on	“Configuring TCP/IP on Macintosh
	page 5-6	computers” on page 5-10.
Connectivity	Ethernet card (10Base-T)	Either a built-in or third-party Ethernet card
hardware		(10Base-T)
Browser	Netscape Communicator™ or Microsoft Internet Explorer, included on the Netopia CD.
software	Required for web-based registration and web-based monitoring.

Notes:

■ The computer running SmartStart must be on the same Ethernet cable segment as the Netopia R5000 Series Router. Repeaters, such as 10Base-T hubs between your computer and the Netopia R5000 Series, are acceptable, but devices such as switches, 10/100 bridges, or other routers are not.

■ The Easy setup option in SmartStart for the PC will offer to set your TCP/IP control panel to “Obtain an IP address automatically” if it is not already set this way. This will cause your computer to reboot. If you have a specified IP address configured in the computer, you should make a note of it before running SmartStart, if you do not want to use the dynamic LAN IP addressing features built in to the Netopia Router. You may choose to use the console cable to connect directly to the console-based management. Alternatively, you can restore your computer to its fixed IP address after changing the default LAN IP addressing scheme of the router to match.
