The Smar tStar t Wizard is tailored for your computer platform, but it works the same way on either a PC or a Macintosh. Inser t the Netopia CD or 
diskette (if that is what was supplied to you), and in the desktop navigation screen that appears, launch the 

 

SmartStart

 

 

 

Wizard

 

 application.

The Smar tStar t Wizard presents a series of screens to guide you through the preliminar y configuration of a Netopia Router. It will then create a 
connection profile in your Netopia Router using the information you supply to it.

When the test succeeds, Smar tStar t indicates success and presents the Connection Profile screen shown on page 8.

If the test fails, the wizard displays an error screen. If the test fails, check the following:

 

n

 

Check your cable connections. Be sure you have connected the router and the computer properly, using the correct cables. Refer to “Making 
the Physical Connections” on page 4.

 

n

 

Make sure the router is turned on and that there is an Ethernet connection between your computer and the router.

 

n

 

Check the TCP/IP control panel settings to be sure that automatic IP Addressing (Windows) or DHCP (Macintosh) is selected. If you are using 
a Windows PC, Smar tStar t will automatically detect a static IP address and offer to configure the computer for automatic addressing. On a 
Macintosh computer, you must manually set the TCP/IP Control Panel to DHCP. See “Configuring TCP/IP on Macintosh computers” on 
page 11. If you currently use a static IP address outside the 192.168.1.x network, and want to continue using it, use the Advanced option to 
assign the router an IP address in your target IP range. See “Advanced option” on page 9.

On a Windows 95 or 98 system, Smar tStar t will automatically disable DNS. On a Windows NT system you will need to click the DNS 
Configuration tab on the TCP/IP proper ties display and then manually disable DNS See “Configuring TCP/IP on Windows 95, 98, or NT 
computers” on page 10.

If all of the above steps fail to resolve the problem, reset the router to its factor y default settings and rerun Smar tStar t. See the on-line 

 

User’s 

Reference Guide

 

 on the Netopia CD for instructions.

If you are configuring an 

 

ISDN router

 

, you may see the ISDN Switch Type screen shown below, displaying the possible switch types available 

for your region. This screen may not appear, if there is only one switch type in use in your region or you are using a customized version of 
Smar tStar t.

Welcome screen. 

The first screen welcomes you to the Smar tStar t 

Wizard configuration utility.

Click the Next button after you have responded to the interactive prompts 
in each screen.

The Help button will display useful information to assist you in responding 
to the interactive prompts.

Easy or Advanced options screen. 

You can choose either Easy or 

Advanced setup.

n

If you choose Easy, Smar tStar t automatically uses the 
preconfigured IP addressing setup built into your router. This is the 
best choice if you are creating a new network or don’t already have 
an IP addressing scheme on your new network.

If you choose Easy, you will see a Connection Test screen like the 
one shown on page 6 while Smar tStar t checks the connection to 
your router.

n

If you choose Advanced, skip to page 9 now. The Smar tStar t 
Wizard displays the Router IP Address screen shown on page 9, in 
which you can choose ways to modify your router’s IP address.

Connection Test screen. 

Smar tStar t tests the connection between 

your computer and the router. While it is testing the connection, a 
progress indicator screen is displayed and the router’s Ethernet LEDs 
flash.
