The Smar tStar t Wizard will help you set up the router and let other users on the local area network (LAN) share the Internet connection. The 
Smar tStar t Wizard walks you through a series of questions and based on your responses automatically configures the router for connecting your 
LAN to the Internet or to your remote corporate network.

The Smar tStar t Wizard will:

 

n

 

automatically check your Windows 95, 98, or NT PC’s TCP/IP configuration to be sure you can accept a dynamically assigned IP address, and 
change it for you if it is not set for dynamic addressing

 

n

 

check the physical connection from your computer to your router without your having to enter an IP address

 

n

 

assign an IP address to your router

 

n

 

allow you to enter your dial-up telephone numbers or other information

 

n

 

dial up and test your connection to your chosen ISP or other remote site

Be sure you have connected the cables and power source as described in “Making the Physical Connections” on page 4.

Before you launch the Smar tStar t application, make sure your computer meets the following requirements: 

Crossover switch

A crossover switch with Normal and Uplink positions. If you use Ethernet Por t #1 for a direct Ethernet connection 
between a computer and the router, set the switch to the 

 

Normal

 

 position. If you are connecting the router to an 

Ethernet hub, use Ethernet por t #1 on the router and set the switch to the 

 

Uplink

 

 position.

8-por t Ethernet hub

Eight Ethernet jacks. You will use one of these to connect to the Netopia Router for configuration. For a new instal-
lation with Smar tStar t, use the Ethernet connection. You can either connect your computer directly to any of the 
Ethernet por ts on the router, or connect both your computer and the router to an existing Ethernet hub on your LAN. 
Alternatively, you can use the console connection with a terminal emulator application and a direct serial connec-
tion, or Telnet via Ethernet, to run console-based management. See the on-line

 on your 

Netopia CD.

S/T Termination 
switch

Netopia Router S/T models also provide an S/T termination switch. The S/T termination switch on the Netopia 
Router back panel must be enabled to terminate the S/T bus. To enable this parameter, the switch must be toggled 
to the left, which is the default setting.

2 Phone por ts
(POTS models only)

Netopia Router models that suppor t Smar tPhone™ provide two RJ-11 telephone jacks for connecting analog 
devices, such as a telephone, facsimile machine, or modem.

Notes: 
• 

 

The computer running Smar tStar t must be on the same Ethernet cable segment as the Netopia Router. 

Repeaters, such as 10Base-T hubs between your computer and the Netopia Router, are acceptable, but devices such as switches or other 
routers are not.
• Smar tStar t 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 require you to reboot your computer. If you have a specified IP address configured in the computer, use the Smar tStar t advanced config-
uration option (see “Advanced option” on page 9) to change your Netopia default IP address (192.168.1.1). You should make a note of it 
before running Smar tStar t, 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.

 

Port

Description

Nor

 

To connect your 10Base-T network to the Netopia Router through an 
Ethernet por t, use a 10Base-T cable with RJ-45 connectors.

If you have more than eight devices to connect, you can attach 
additional devices using either a 10Base-T hub or an EtherWave daisy 
chain, or some combination of both.

If you add devices connected through a hub, connect the hub to 
Ethernet por t number 1 on the Netopia Router and set the 
Normal/Uplink switch to Uplink.
