How to Use the Quickstart Page
Quickstart is normally used immediately after the new hardware is
installed. When you are first configuring your Gateway, Quickstart
appears after you log on.
(Once you have configured your Gateway, logging on displays the Home
page. Thereafter, if you need to use Quickstart, choose it from the Config-
ure menu.)
The Quickstart page you see depends on your type of Gateway and the
type of connection to your service provider. You may have one of the fol-
lowing types of connection to your service provider:
• DHCP (without PPP) - see “Setup Your Gateway using a DHCP Connec-
tion” on page 37
• PPP - see “Setup Your Gateway using a PPP Connection” on page 40
• Static IP Address - “Setup Your Gateway using a Static IP Address” on
page 41

Comment
The Configuration options are presented in the order of likelihood you
will need to use them. Quickstart is typically accessed during the hard-
ware installation and initial configuration phase. Often, these settings
should be changed only in accordance with information from your
Service Provider.
LAN and WAN settings are available to fine-tune your
system. Advanced provides some special capabilities typically used for
gaming or small office environments, or where LAN-side servers are
involved.
