Congratulations on your purchase of DSL905E !
ADSL, which stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, is the latest communication
technology that offers faster and uninterrupted Internet access.
DSL905E is an embedded solution that is OS independent. It can be connected to any
computer with an Ethernet/Fast Ethernet card or to a Hub/Switch. It has an Ethernetconnection that allows direct interface to any existing IEEE 802.3 LAN network, providing
instant broadband Internet access to LAN networks with minimum hassle.
To ensure the broadest customer reach, DSL905E features multiple data encapsulation
formats for DSL transport over ATM PVCs, including the widely supported ADSL protocols
RFC 1483 (MPoA), RFC 1577 (IPoA) and RFC 2364 (PPPoA).
It supports multimode - fully compliant with ANSI T1.143 Issue 2, ITU-T G.992.1 (G.dmt)
and G.992.2 (G.Lite) featuring Discrete Multi-tone (DMT) line encoding used by major ADSL
manufacturers, further guarantees interoperability with network providers worldwide.

3.1Verifying the Setup Connections
This is to verify the connections you have carried out on your router. Verifications are based
on the activity of the corresponding LED.
i)Power on the Mains Supply and the Power Switch of your router.
ADSL Link LED
You should see this LED blinks at the initial stage.
When the ADSL link is established, the LED will
remain lit up.
Ethernet Link LED
You should see this LED lights up.
Power LED
You should see this LED lights up.
If the LED(s) does not light up, check that:
a)the Mains Supply is powered on and the Power switch on DSL905E is at I
position.
b)the connections are carried out as described in Figure 3-1. DSL905E
Connections.
ii)If you have connected a Telephone set to your router, pick up the handset of the
Telephone. You should hear the normal dial-tone.
If you do not hear the normal dial-tone of a telephone, check that your telephone cable
connection is connected as illustrated in Figure 3-1. DSL905E Connections. If your
connection is correct, it may be due to a faulty phone cable that you are using.
Replace the phone cable.
Upon successful verifications, proceed to the next chapter to configure your Ethernet Card.

AppendixA
Frequently Asked
Questions
This section provides answers to the commonly asked questions
Why is Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) called Asymmetric ?
It is called asymmetric because more bandwidth is reserved for receiving data
than for sending data. This is useful because many users of the Internet receive
much more data than they send.
What are the benefits of ADSL over analog modems ?
Besides the high-speed advantage, ADSL connection is always on. There is no
longer a need to log on and off, no more busy signals and no more waiting for the
connection to established - it is always there. On top of these, you can use the
phone even when the data connection is on. You do not need to switch between
surfing the Net and talking over the phone.
Will my router constantly connect near the maximum speed ?
At ADSL speeds, the limitations depend on the performance or load of the Internet
Service Provider that you are trying to reach, as well as the line condition specific
to your location.
on your router.

User ManualUser Manual
User Manual
User ManualUser Manual
Can I use my router during thunderstorm ?
ADSL routers can be damaged by thunderstorms. Our product warranty does not
apply to damage caused by lightning. If your area is frequent in thunderstorms,
you are advised to use a surge protector. Certain surge protectors have been
reported to reduce download speed, so you are advised to test your speed before
and after installation to make sure that it adds no problems to your line.
Do I need to install additional telephone lines in order to use ADSL?
No, you do not need to do so. ADSL and standard voice telephones operate at a
different set of frequencies. The difference in frequencies allows both IP (Internet)
traffic and voice traffic to co-exist on a same physical phone line.
Will my old PC be fast enough for ADSL?
Yes. But if you start to use the ADSL line to view video-on-demand or other
memory and processor hungry functions, you may well decide that your PC is too
slow. However, there are still many interesting sites that can be seen and used by
slower PCs.
How can I send/receive fax as well as surfing the Internet at the same time ?
To send/receive fax, you may connect your fax machine to the TEL jack of your
router (same as the way you connect to the telephone set as illustrated in Chapter
3 - Connecting DSL905E).
Do I need to use Micro-Filter when using ADSL ?
Your router has a built-in Micro-Filter at the TEL jack. Thus no Micro-Filter is
required between your Telephone set and the router.
However, if you are sharing the ADSL line with other telephone line extensions,
you will need to have a Micro-Filter connected between the other telephone set
and the telephone wall socket connecting to it.

How do I verify the link between my Ethernet Card and router ?
To ensure that the communication link between your Ethernet Card and router has
been established, you may run the DSLTEST as described in Chapter 5 - Running
DSLTEST. A PASS at the Ethernet Interface Test will mean that the link between
your Ethernet Card and router has been established.
Alternatively, you may ping to your router to verify the link. Carry out the steps as
follow:
i) From your Windows taskbar, click Start > Run.
ii) In the text box, enter ping 192.168.1.1 -t and click OK.
iii) You should see strings of text similar to the listings shown below.
(The factory default IP Address for
DSL905E is set at 192.168.1.1.
Replace this address with the one
assigned by your System
Administrator, if necessary. This
IP address should be in the same
subnet as your router's IP
address.)

Close the window.
(If you see 'Request timed out' listing, it means that the link between your Ethernet
Card and your router has not been established. Refer to Appendix B -

Troubleshooting Guide
This section provides a step-by-step solutions to problems that
you may encounter when setting up or using your router.
I am not getting any connection. My router's Power LED lights up, but the ADSL
Link LED keeps blinking instead of remaining lit up.
Power off your router and check the following:
i) Ensure that the Power adapter is tightly fitted into the DC IN of your router.
ii) Check that the Telephone cable (RJ-11) is connected to LINE jack on your
router and not to the TEL jack.
iii) Power on your router.
If the problem still persist, please check with your Internet Service Provider.
24
I am getting poor ADSL speed performance from my router.
i) Ensure that the ADSL line is at least 10cm away from the Power adapter.
(see the following page for illustration.)
ii) Place your router away from devices or appliances such as monitors, exposed
computer systems (with chassis covers removed) or another router which exhibit
magnetic fields that may cause interferences to your router line.
iii) Ensure that Micro-Filters are used for phone sockets that are sharing the same
ADSL line.
