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 R7200. Repeaters, such as 10Base-T hubs between your computer and the Netopia R7200, are acceptable, but devices such as switches or other routers are not.

• SmartStart for the PC will 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, in case you do not want to use the dynamic addressing features built in to the Netopia Router and need to restore the fixed IP address.
