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.
