Configuring the Router Using FirstGear 3-1

Chapter 3

Conﬁguring the Router Using FirstGear

This chapter provides instructions for conﬁguring the Model RT328 ISDN Router using the

FirstGear conﬁguration utility. These instructions are to be followed after you have installed and

connected your router as instructed in Chapter

2, “Hardware Installation.”

Overview of FirstGear Conﬁguration Utility

NETGEAR has designed an easy-to-use graphic interface that makes conﬁguring your router

easier when compared to the built-in Manager interface. The FirstGear ISDN Router

Conﬁguration Utility can be used to conﬁgure a router quickly for Internet access using the

interview-style Quick procedure, or it can be used to customize a router conﬁguration using the

Advanced procedure.

The FirstGear utility operates on a PC device running Windows 95 or Windows NT. Macintosh and

UNIX users can conﬁgure a router using FirstGear by connecting the router to a PC, setting the

conﬁguration, and then reconnecting the router into their respective networks.

This section contains the instructions for the following procedures:

• Installing FirstGear

• Starting FirstGear

• Verifying or assigning an IP address for the router

• Selecting the Quick or Advanced conﬁguration procedure

To use the Quick conﬁguration procedure, refer to Chapter

4, “Quick Conﬁguration for Internet

Access.” To use the advanced conﬁguration procedure or to change speciﬁc settings, refer to

Chapter

5, “Advanced Conﬁguration.”
