Setting Up Your WebShare Account

SETTING UP YOUR WEBSHARE ACCOUNT

This section shows you how to set up your initial WebShare account. The WebShare account is your link to your ISP. The
WebShare Home Page will appear during installation after the computer restarts. It may also be started by clicking on the
WebShare icon on the desktop or by opening the browser and typing the URL as indicated in the procedure below.

NOTE

In a LAN or multiple-PC environment, account setup only needs to be done on the
computer connected to the WireSpeed Pro. Once an account has been created, it is
accessible to all users on the LAN.

Account Parameters

Account parameters are required before connecting to your service provider. The account parameters to be entered in the
Account Install window are obtained from your service provider. User ID and Account Description are the only required
parameters.

The Account Description is a word or phrase created by the user to identify the account. It is used by WebShare to
coordinate with the service provider. For example, the following parameters were obtained from a service provider:

User ID: Snape@inet
Password: ******

With the following user-defined input:

Account Description: Account 2

Procedure:

1. Open your Internet browser. In the address bar (location bar), type 192.168.0.1 and press ENTER. The

WebShare Home Page containing PPP Status and PPP Connections windows appears.
