The Wizard Setup Screens
This chapter provides information on the Wizard Setup screens in the web configurator.
4.1 Wizard Setup – Screen 1
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".
• In Windows 95/98 click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Network. Click the Identification tab,
note the entry for the Computer Name field and enter it as the System Name.
• In Windows 2000, click Start -> Settings-> Control Panel and then double-click System. Click the
Network Identification tab and then the Properties button. Note the entry for the Computer name
field and enter it as the System Name.
4.1.2 Domain Name
The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If you leave this blank, 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.
4.2 Wizard Setup - Screen 2
The Prestige offers three choices of encapsulation. They are Ethernet, PPTP or PPPoE.
4.2.1 Ethernet
Choose Ethernet when the WAN port is used as a regular Ethernet.
4.2.2 PPTP Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables transfer of data from a remote
client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-based networks.
