CrystaLink Installation Manual

End User's Version 11/8/98

• Step 1: Unpack CrystaLink

You will find the following items:
One CrystaLink Pizza Box.
One 6-foot RJ-11 cable.
One Power Cord.
One blank Installation Application Form.

• Step 2: Hook up CrystaLink to your network.

  We assume you already have a local area network, be it Novell Netware LAN, Microsoft Windows for Workgroup LAN, Microsoft NT LAN, or Lantastics LAN. CrystaLink current support 10BaseT Ethernet, Thin Wire Ethernet, and Thick Wire Ethernet only. If your local area network is not Ethernet, CrystaLink will not be your choice.
  

  • 2.1 Hook up the CrystaLink to the wall jack via the RJ-11 cable, such that we can dial in to do the initial setup.

  • 2.2 Hook up the CrystaLink to the Local Area Network you are having. If you don’t have any Local area Network yet, then skip
    this step.

  • 2.3 Hook up the power cord and turn on CrystaLink.

• Step 3: Fill up the form and FAX to Crystal Computing

You need to tell us your Interment information by filling out a form:
Your Internet Service Provider’s (ISP) name, your account number, contact person and phone number.
Your Domain Name: for example, cryscomp.com
Your Internet Address Class: A or B or C.
Your Internet Network Address, for example: 206.214.164.0
The first 10 users who’d like to be on the Internet. The First Names and the Last Names.

We will create Interment e-mail address for you by using this information. For example, if you have Joe doe in your company, and if your company’s domain name is abc.com, the Joe Doe’s internet address will be jdoe@abc.com

• Step 4: We will notify you that the CrystaLink has been set up correctly. And you are ready to link to the Internet, if your client stations are set up
  correctly.

• Step 5: Client Workstations Setup:

To access internet, your client stations need to be able to connect to the Internet via TCP/IP protocol stack. If you have Unix boxes as client stations, or if you have PC’s running Windows 95 or Windows NT, or if you have Mac with Mac OS 7.0 or upper running on the Ethernet, then most likely you already have the TCP/IP protocol stack. But having the Protocol stack alone may not be enough, you need to set up IP address, Domain Name, Network Mask, Name Server Address correctly in order to make it functional.

If you are running Windows for Workgroup 3.11, you can get a freeware from Microsoft, called TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroup, to complete the TCP/IP protocol stack. If you are just running Windows, you need 3rd party software to make it happen. You can buy TCP/IP products from NetManage, FTP software, Distinct, The Wollongong Group, etc., but you can also download a freeware called the Trumpet, which will provide you the TCP/IP protocol Stack.

Once you have TCP/IP protocol stack up and running, (you can verify this by pinging the CrystaLink), you can setup Internet E-Mail Package and Web Browser on these client stations. You can download free e-mail package called Eudora Lite from Qualcomm, Inc., and you can download free Web Browser Package called Netscape 2.01 from Netscape Communications.
