Chapter 5

Using FirstGear to Configure Internet Access

This chapter provides instructions for configuring the Model RT338 ISDN Router with the
FirstGear Setup Wizard and Advanced Setup options.
The interview-style Setup Wizard lets you quickly configure the router so that a workstation or
small network can access an Internet service provider (ISP) using IP routing. Also, you can use the
Setup Wizard to do basic setup tasks, and then modify the configuration later using the Advanced
Setup option.
The Advanced Setup option lets you set specific parameters rather than use the default
preconfigured settings. This procedure requires knowledge of networking in order to set the proper
parameters. Refer to Chapter 1, "Introduction," for more detailed information about router
configuration.
For information about starting the FirstGear software, see "Starting FirstGear" on page 4-3.

Configuring Internet Access with the Wizard

Use the Setup Wizard to enter your ISDN configuration information and your ISP account
information. The information you need for basic configuration of your ISDN router is provided by
your local telephone company and your Internet service provider. If at any time you need help with
the format or the meaning of the information required, click on the Help button in the window.
