Using your Router with AOL Broadband

How to set up your network to operate with AOL

and your new Belkin Message Manager

There are two types of AOL connections available—either AOL DSL

or AOL Cable. A third service is called AOL BYOA (Bring Your Own

Access). This is used along with an existing broadband connection,

supplied by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you have AOL

DSL, please refer to "Directions for AOL DSL Users" below for setup

instructions. If you have either AOL Cable or the AOL BYOA service,

please go to the "Directions for AOL Cable Users" section of this

guide, on page 102.

Directions for AOL DSL Users

STEP 1:

Create AOL screen names for the Belkin Message Manager

and for each computer that will be using your AOL service.

STEP 2:

Configure the Message Manager for AOL for Broadband.

STEP 3:

Configure your computers with the new AOL screen names

you just created.

Step 1

Creating new AOL screen names

Note:

Your AOL connections must be set to operate on the TCP/IP

standard. If you have designated another protocol, reset them to

TCP/IP before proceeding.

If your Message Manager is currently connected to the network,

remove it from the network and connect it directly to your

broadband modem. Then, log on to AOL as you normally do.

Log on to your AOL master account.
