What is Easy Setup?
Easy Setup is a web browser-based software program that allows you to
configure your router quic kl y and easily, even if you have never in st all ed a
router before.
If a qualified technician from your Network Service Provider (NSP) has
already installed your router, you don’t need to run the Easy Setup program. However, you may want t o read throug h this guide to gain a better
understanding of how your router works.
If you’re an advanced user and want to cu stomize yo ur router, a command
line interface (CLI) reference manual is available on the Installation CD.
If you do run Easy Setup, it will prompt you to select protocols and enter
all the IP addresses provided by your NSP.
Confused by all the different IP addresses? A diagram on page 35 shows
how your router ’s 2 IP addresses are rel ated to l ocal area (L AN) and wi de
area (WAN) network addresses.
Overwhelmed by networking ac rony ms an d jargon? A glossa ry at the back
of this guide explains most of the technical terms that you’re likely to
encounter. Understanding the basics, such as DHCP, NAT, DNS , and firewalls will allow you to take advantage of your router’s advanced features
to optimize your LAN while keepin g int r ud e rs out.

The Easy Setup program permanentl y resides inside your router, allowing
you to configure it through a web browser on any p latform – Windows,
Macintosh, or Unix.
If you are configuring your router in Windows, you have the option of
installing the Speed Touch™ Office Manager Tools from the Installation
CD. These tools include a popular WAN Port Monitor application, a Configuration Man ager for add ing or chan ging feat ures, and Boo tP and TFTP
utilities.
