Connection Wizard

This chapter provides information on the Connection Wizard screens in the main menu web configurator.

3.1Connection Wizard Overview

The web configurator’s setup wizard helps you configure your device to access the Internet. The second screen has three variations depending on what encapsulation type you use. Refer to your ISP for details on what to enter in each field. Leave a field blank if you don’t have that information.

3.2Connection Wizard : General Setup and System Name

General Setup contains administrative and system-related information. System Name is for identification purposes. However, because some ISPs check this name you should enter your computer's "Computer Name".

•In Windows 95/98 click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network. Click the Identification tab, note the entry for the Computer Name field and enter it as the System Name.

•In Windows 2000, click Start, Settings and Control Panel and then double-click System. Click the Network Identification tab and then the Properties button. Note the entry for the Computer name field and enter it as the System Name.

•In Windows XP, click Start, My Computer, View system information and then click the Computer Name tab. Note the entry in the Full computer name field and enter it as the HomeSafe System Name.

3.2.1 Domain Name

The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If you leave this blank, the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used. While you must enter the host name (System Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can be assigned from the HomeSafe via DHCP.
