About This User Guide
Welcome to the Acer Netxus world of Multifunction Routers! Thank you for
investing in the AcerRouter 700. We are dedicated to providing the most efficient,
easy to configure, and trouble free equipment in the networking industry.
This manual is intended as a basic introduction to your AcerRouter 700. It supplies
enough information to make the AcerRouter 700 operational in the most common
environments: connecting to the Internet, receiving calls from dial-in users, or
connecting to another network.
We’ll describe how to use your web browser to configure the AcerRouter 700 and to
perform some basic operations, such as upgrading the software, or monitoring
statistics, a task which may be useful in ongoing operations. We’ll show you how to
attach telephone and fax equipment. Finally, we’ll tell you how to obtain information
and help for subjects that are beyond the scope of this manual.
