Wizard Setup
This chapter shows you how to use the Wizard to access the Internet for the first time.
4.1
Introduction to Wizard Screens
The Wizard consists of screens to help 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 checklist in the
Quick
Start Guide
to know what to enter in each field. Leave a field blank if you don’t have that information.
4.1.1 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".

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 Prestige via DHCP.
