This part of the browser screen contains items you can click to display the various
screens for configuring your AcerRouter 700, including modems, connection profiles,
and protocols, as well as system monitoring, tools, and help.

Configuration Window

This is the window where the actual configuration screens appear. Before any sele

with cables and peripheral devices that can be connected to it.

Whenever appropriate, the AcerRouter 700 will display system status or error me

had configured your password incorrectly, the message window will display an
appropriate message.

as a separate browser screen from the main SMART browser screen and appears au
