Easy Setup 6-1 Chapter 6 Easy Setup This chapter describes how to use the Easy Setup Telnet screens on your Netopia 3347W/3357W-ENT. After completing the Easy Setup Telnet screens, your router will be ready to connect to the Internet or another remote site.
6-2 Getting Started Guide Quick Easy Setup Connection Path This section may be all you need to configure your Netopia 3347W/3357W-ENT ADSL Wireless Router. Your service provider will supply you with several parameter values.
Easy Setup 6-3 The following steps will get you up and running quickly: 1. Open a Telnet session to 192.168.1.1 to bring up the Main Menu. If you don't know how to do this, see “Connecting through a Telnet Session” on page 5-2. The Main Menu appears. Netopia 3347W/3357W-ENT Easy Setup... WAN Configuration... System Configuration...

A-4 Getting Started Guide Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord).
Technical Specifications and Safety Information A-5 • Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface. • Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines. • Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. • Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
A-6 Getting Started Guide d) The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.
