How to Use this Guide

In addition to the documentation contained in the accompanying Firmware User's Guide, this guide is designed
to get you up and running and connected to your local area network and the Internet. It is intended to be viewed
on-line, using the powerful features of the Adobe Acrobat Reader. The information display has been deliberately
designed to present the maximum information in the minimum space on your screen. You can keep this
document open while you perform any of the procedures described, and find useful information about the
procedure you are performing.
You can also print out all of the manual, or individual sections, if you prefer to work from hard copy rather than
on-line documentation. The pages are formatted to print on standard 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper. We recommend
that you print on 3-hole punched paper, so that you can put the pages in a binder for future reference.
This guide is organized into chapters describing the Netopia 3387W-ENT's advanced features. You may want to
read each chapter's introductory section to familiarize yourself with the various features available.
