Thank you for purchasing a NetEqualizer. You are now on your way to achieving "Faster
Networks, with Zero Maintenance, at the Best Prices". Using NetEqualizer in default factory
mode will take care of almost all network congestion and priority traffic flow requirements,
and is the recommended operational mode for most customers. However, NetEqualizer also
offers a wide range of bandwidth control options, while at the same time allowing you to
keep it simple.
NetEqualizer Quick Start Guide
To perform your initial installation, you should reference the NetEqualizer Quick Start Guide.
This contains the basic setup details and minimal settings required to get you up and
running. A hard copy is included in your shipping box. We also email a PDF copy with your
shipping confirmation email.
Note: The NetEqualizer Quick Start Guide is a step-by-step instruction manual.
NetEqualizer User Guide
The NetEqualizer User Guide is intended to walk through NetEqualizer features in more
detail than our NetEqualizer Quick Start Guide. It also includes appendices describing our
add-on modules. Once up and running, it is a good idea to review this entire NetEqualizer
User Guide, to become familiar with all of the advanced features available to you.
Note: The NetEqualizer User Guide is not a step-by-step instruction manual. Select the
feature you are interested in from the Table of Contents and go directly to that section.
For Additional Help
Should you need further assistance setting up your NetEqualizer, please call our Support
Team at 303.997.1300 x102 or email
. If you purchased
through an authorized distributor or reseller, check with them first to determine if they
support you directly.
