Setup Wizard
The first time you connect to VRT-311 / VRT-311S, the Setup Wizard will run automatically.
(The Setup Wizard will also run if VRT-311 / VRT-311S 's default setting are restored.)
1. Step through the Wizard until finished.
You need to know the type of Internet connection service used by your ISP. Check the
data supplied by your ISP.
The common connection types are explained in the tables below.
2. On the final screen of the Wizard, run the test and check that an Internet connection can be
established.
3. If the connection test fails:
Check your data, the Cable/DSL modem, and all connections.
Check that you have entered all data correctly.
If using a Cable modem, your ISP may have recorded the MAC (physical) address of
your PC. Run the Wizard, and on the Cable Modem screen, use the "Clone MAC ad-
dress" button to copy the MAC address from your PC to VRT-311 / VRT-311S.
