1 Introduction

1.1 What is ADSL?

The sheer speed of development of computer technology over the last few years has resulted in a huge increase in the volume of electronic data traffic. More users want to send and receive a constantly increasing volume of data. A demand which offers fertile grounds for the development of broadband technol ogy.
ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) and the advanced ADSL2+ is a trans­mission technology which offers genuine broadband communication to the user. The “last mile” connects the customer to the network via copper telephone lines. Because telephone lines are used to transmit data, the spread of this access technology has been relatively fast.
Together with the ADSL technology on the copper twin wire of the telephone lines, three differently large frequency ranges are used: Two for data communi cations and one for telephony. The term 'Asymmetric' indicates that the trans­mitting and receiving channels can carry different quantities of data:
When the user surfs the Internet, the data sent to the Internet service pro-
vider (ISP) tends to carry less information (e. g. addresses of web sites or e­mails). The transmission rate of up to 1 Mbps is generally sufficient for this purpose.
To load multimedia content (video sequences, animations, images etc.) onto
the computer from the Internet at acceptable quality and speed, a transmis sion rate of up to 25 Mbps brings significant savings in terms of cost and time.

2.2.4 Installation of the USB driver under Linux

If you have connected the dsl+ 1100 duo via USB, your computer will recognise the router as a network interface, which means that the dsl treated like any other network interface (e.g. a PCI network card).
Please note that the command
Entering the command ifconfig -a displays all network interfaces. Each net­work connection has an identifier that consists of 'eth' and a unique number (e.g. "0" for the first device, "1" for the second, etc.).
Configuration—single application (for installation test)
All of the IP addresses named here are examples only. They refer to the first net­work interface eth0.
After listing all of the network interfaces with the command ifconfig -a, con­tinue with the configuration with the following entry ifconfig eth0 198.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up.
ifconfig -a
can only be executed as "root".

Make sure that the new IP addresses are not already being used in your network and that they lie within your existing range of IP addresses.
Configuration under SUSE Linux—permanent installation
The following procedure can only be executed as "root".
For the permanent installation under SUSE Linux, create a text file with the nec­essary information for the adapter. Open any text editor (e.g. edit, pico) and enter the following information:
if IP addresses are to be assigned dynamically:
if IP addresses are to be assigned statically:
Make sure that the new IP addresses are not already being used in your network and that they lie within your existing range of IP addresses!

as follows: /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0
BOOTPROTO='static'STARTMODE='hotplug'IPADDR='192.168.0.1'NETMASK='255.255.255.0'Finally, save the file under the unique identifier of the network interface
as follows: /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0
To define a gateway, create the file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifroute-eth0 and enter default 192.168.0.253
Make sure that the IP address is the same as that for the dsl+ 1100 duo. In most cases the router in the network is the gateway.
A dsl+ 1100 duo connected by USB cannot be configured graphically with Yast. If the dsl+ 1100 duo is connected via Ethernet you can configure the network interface using Yast.
Configuration under Debian Linux—permanent installation
Please note that this procedure can only be executed as "root".
Under Debian Linux, append the following information to the file /etc/inter- faces :

auto eth0iface eth0 inet staticaddress 192.168.0.1netmask 255.255.255.0gateway 192.168.0.253 (only required for Internet access)
The file /etc/resolv.conf must be edited to ensure that the name resolution (DNS) is executed correctly. Enter the IP address for the DNS server into this file, e.g. nameserver 192.168.0.253 (only for Internet access)

Make sure that the IP address is the same as that for the dsl+ 1100 duo. In most cases the network router is the DNS server.
Please note that operating multiple network interfaces can potentially cause problems with DNS and routing. We recommend the use of DHCP for the assign­ment of IP addresses so that the DNS and gateway are adapted automatically.

3 Router configuration

This chapter will explain how to set up Internet access and how to take advan­tage of additional functions and settings of your router with advanced configu­ration.
For configuring the network and setting up Internet access, we recommend using the setup wizard, which will help you configure the necessary settings (
Setting up Internet access using the configuration wizard ).
Alternatively, you may also set up Internet access using browser-based config­uration (Setting up Internet access via a browser). The dsl+ 1100 duo is already optimally pre-configured for simple Internet access.
The additional functions of the router must be set up manually using the browser-based configuration (
3.1 Setting up Internet access using the configura­tion wizard
If you are using a computer with a Windows operating system to configure the router, you have the option of using the setup wizard.

19
+
If the Setup software does not start automatically, run the file ’autorun.exe’ in the root folder of the product CD.
Select 'Install dsl+ 1100 duo'.
The wizard will now install the selected devolo software on your computer.
When the installation is complete, the router configuration wizard will auto matically start. During this process, the wizard first checks the computer's network settings and modifies them as necessary. Then the wizard helps you set up Internet access for the router.
Finally, the wizard will contact the website www.devolo.com to ensure that
the Internet access is working. If the Internet connection is working cor rectly, configure the other connected computer. Insert the devolo product CD in the computers to be configured and install 'dsl as a minimum. The wizard will then check the settings of the network and

correct them as necessary, and will skip setting up Internet access again if so requested.

3.2 Setting up Internet access via a browser

If you cannot use the configuration wizard (e.g. if you are not using Windows as your operating system) you can carry out the settings via the user interface.
The computer which is networked with the dsl+ 1100 duo must be set to auto­matically acquire network information (DHCP). Further information regarding the correct setting is available in the documentation of your operating system.
Open your web browser and enter the URL 'http://192.168.0.253'.
Click on the "Setup wizard" in order to configure your Internet access.
Select your country and click on Next.
Select your Internet provider and click on Next.
Enter your access information provided by your Internet provider (username,
password). Confirm the password and click on Next.
Complete the setting up of your Internet access with Finish. Your input is
then saved.

4.5 Communication in the network using EasyShare

All users on the local network who have started EasyShare are automatically rec­ognized by the program and listed:

4.5.1 Configuration

The EasyShare software provides two easy wizards, which will guide you quickly and easily through the configuration process: the first setup wizard, which starts automatically the first time the program is started, and the sharing wizard, which allows you to add shared items at any time. The individual functions of the EasyShare software are described here:
Folder sharing
To share data with others, a EasyShare network user has to make the data avail­able in a shared folder. When a folder is shared, all of its files as well as the files of all its subdirectories become available to all users on the EasyShare network. Folders can be shared either by using the initial setup wizard, which opens auto matically the first time the EasyShare is started, or by using the sharing wizard. You can open the shar ing File Add share from the menu.

The computer name can be changed at any time by clicking the Options button or by selecting Tools Options from the menu.
Refreshing shared folders
To view (newly) shared folders of other EasyShare network users, select File Refresh from the menu, or Refresh from the context menu (right mouse but-
ton). The contents of all shared folders will appear in the top right-hand win­dow.
Downloading files
To download shared files from other EasyShare network users, select the com­puter belonging to the user and then mark the shared folder for that user. The upper-right window then lists all the contents of the folder. From the list, mark the files and/or folders that you want to download and then select File Download from the menu, or Download from the context menu (right mouse button). Choose a target folder on your computer and confirm by clicking OK. The files are now downloaded to your computer.

Cookies—Many websites store small files on your computer, so-called
cookies. These files may contain personal information such as log-in data, passwords or credit card numbers.
Temporary Internet files—Temporary files are stored on your hard drive
while you surf the Net. Over time, these files take up a considerable amount of space.

|
History files—Internet Explorer records your surfing activity over a period
of days or weeks. This can be practical, but it also takes up space and can be undesirable in many cases.
Stored form information—Internet Explorer stores information that you
enter in forms and can auto-complete this information in the future.
Stored passwords—Passwords can also be stored and automatically
inserted together with usernames in subsequent log-in procedures. While this is convenient, it's also dangerous—especially in connection with bank transactions. Sensitive information such as this should only be stored locally in special programs designed for this purpose.
Document history—Internet Explorer maintains lists of open documents
and visited websites. This information is generally no longer needed.
Please note that EasyClean only supports Microsoft Internet Explorer.

5.5 Warranty conditions

The devolo AG warranty is given to purchasers of devolo products in addition to the warranty con­ditions provided by law and in accordance with the following conditions:
1 Warranty coverage
a) The warranty covers the equipment delivered and all its parts. Parts will, at devolo's sole dis-
cretion, be replaced or repaired free of charge if, despite proven proper handling and adher­ence to the operating instructions, these parts became defective due to fabrication and/or material defects. Alternatively, devolo reserves the right to replace the defective product with a comparable product with the same specifications and features. Operating manuals and any supplied software are excluded from the warranty.
b) Material and service charges shall be covered by devolo, but not shipping and handling costs
involved in transport from the buyer to the service station and/or to devolo. c) Replaced parts become property of devolo. d) devolo is authorized to carry out technical changes (e.g. firmware updates) beyond repair and
replacement of defective parts in order to bring the equipment up to the current technical state.
This does not result in any additional charge for the customer. A legal claim to this service does
not exist.
2 Warranty period
The warranty period for this devolo product is three years. This period begins at the day of delivery from the devolo dealer. Warranty services rendered by devolo do not result in an extension of the warranty period nor do they initiate a new warranty period. The warranty period for installed replacement parts ends with the warranty period of the device as a whole.
3 Warranty procedure
a) If defects appear during the warranty period, the warranty claims must be made immediately,
at the latest within a period of 7 days. b) In the case of any externally visible damage arising from transport (e.g. damage to the case),
the person responsible for the transportation and the sender should be informed immediately.
On discovery of damage which is not externally visible, the transport company and devolo are
to be immediately informed in writing, at the latest within 3 days of delivery. c) Transport to and from the location where the warranty claim is accepted and/or the repaired
device is exchanged, is at the purchaser's own risk and cost. d) Warranty claims are only valid if a copy of the original purchase receipt is returned with the
device. devolo reserves the right to require the submission of the original purchase receipt.
4 Suspension of the warranty

(moisture, electric shock, dust, etc.), c) the device was stored or operated under conditions not in compliance with the technical spec-
ifications, d) the damage occurred due to incorrect handling, especially due to non-observance of the sys-
tem description and the operating instructions, e) the device was opened, repaired or modified by persons not authorized by devolo, f) the device shows any kind of mechanical damage,

g) the warranty claim has not been reported in accordance with 3a) or 3b).
5Operating mistakes
If it becomes apparent that the reported malfunction of the device has been caused by unsuitable software, hardware, installation or operation, devolo reserves the right to charge the purchaser for the resulting testing costs.
6 Additional regulations
a) The above conditions define the complete scope of devolo’s legal liability. b) The warranty gives no entitlement to additional claims, such as any refund in full or in part.
Compensation claims, regardless of the legal basis, are excluded. This does not apply if e.g.
injury to persons or damage to private property are specifically covered by the product liability
law, or in cases of intentional act or culpable negligence. c) Claims for compensation of lost profits, indirect or consequential detriments, are excluded. d) devolo is not liable for lost data or retrieval of lost data in cases of slight and ordinary negli-
gence. e) In the case that the intentional or culpable negligence of devolo employees has caused a loss
of data, devolo will be liable for those costs typical to the recovery of data where periodic secu-
rity data back-ups have been made. f) The warranty is valid only for the first purchaser and is not transferable. g) The court of jurisdiction is located in Aachen, Germany in the case that the purchaser is a mer-
chant. If the purchaser does not have a court of jurisdiction in the Federal Republic of Germany
or if he moves his domicile out of Germany after conclusion of the contract, devolo’s court of
jurisdiction applies. This is also applicable if the purchaser's domicile is not known at the time
of institution of proceedings. h) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany is applicable. The UN commercial law does not
apply to dealings between devolo and the purchaser.
