Introduction
Welcome to Quick Start Guide for SMC7301TA. The Quick Start
Guide is intended to be a guide of easy installation and congura-
tion of the SMC7301TA for Internet access purposes. We are
condent that you will have years of consistent and reliable use
from your multifunction Broadband Router.
This Quick Start Guide describes the steps necessary to
congure your Broadband router to connect a Local Area Network
(LAN) to the Internet (through your Internet Service Provider).
Setting up your SMC7301TA is easy, but there are a few things
to keep in mind.
Workstations (or PCs) on your private network (PCs running
windows 95/98 or NT) must be installed with TCP/IP and be
congured to “obtain an IP address automatically” (through the
DHCP, Dynamic Host Control Protocol). At least one of your
workstations on the same LAN must be able to run a Web
browser (Netscape Navigator 4.5 or newer, or Internet explorer
5.0 or newer).
Before you begin, make sure your box contains all of the
following items:
1 x SMC7301TA Multifunction Access Server
1 x RJ-45 cable for WAN port
1 x 10/100 Base-T LAN cable
1 x Null modem cable for the Aux port
1 x External AC power supply
