AcerRouter 700 Series User Guide 3-3
Customizing the SMART for Your Specific Needs
When you log on for the first time, the SMART Customization screen will be au
tomatically displayed, allowing you to customize the SMART session to suit your
own specific needs:
The choices available depend on what feature keys have been installed. The selection
s you make determine what configuration menu and buttons will appear in the SMAR
T interface. For example, if you select Basic Internet Access only, the SMART inte
rface will display only buttons and screens that you need for basic Internet access.
If you subsequently use SMART to configure the AcerRouter for other applications,
you can return to this SMART Customization screen to “re-customize” your SMAR
T interface by selecting Customize User Interface from the SMART Menu (on the le
ft hand side of the SMART interface).
Basic Internet Access
Select this option if you need basic Internet access. This will enable you to configure
Internet Access for all of your LAN users.
Internet Access with Advanced Configuration
Select this option if you want to configure advanced options, such as changing the
private IP address (e.g., when you intend to create your own private WAN between
multiple AcerRouter 700 routers), or adding a public IP address (e.g., when you want
to install servers on the LAN which are accessible from the Internet).
Access to/from Remote Site (e.g., Branch Office)
Select this option if you want to create connections to other LAN sites - so that users
at each site can share resources. If you use Windows PCs, for example, then from Ne
twork Neighborhood facility, you can access files from remote PCs directly.
Dial-in Access for Off-Site Users
Select this option if you want to allow users on a stand-alone computer to dial in and
access resources on your network.

Select this option if you use Novell servers on your network and want to allow dial-in
users or remote offices to share them.
