Frequently As ked Que stion s
Why can´t I access the Web-based configuration?
When entering the IP Address of the DI-824VUP (192.168.0.1), you are not
connecting to the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device ha s the
utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same
IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility.
To resolve difficulties accessing a W eb utility, plea se follow the steps below.
Step 1
you do not get a solid link light, try using a different cable or connect to a different
port on the device, if possible. If the computer is turned off, the link light may not be
on.
V erify physical connectivity by checking f or solid link lights on the device. If
What type of cable should I be using?
The following connections require a Crossover Cable:
Computer to Computer
Computer to Uplink Port
Computer to Access Point
Computer to Print Server
Computer/XBOX/PS2 to D WL-810
Computer/XBOX/PS2 to D WL-900AP+
Uplink Port to Uplink Port (hub/switch)
Normal Port to Normal Port (hub/switch)
The following connections require a Straight-through Cable:
Computer to Residential Gateway/Router
Computer to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Access Point to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Print Server to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Uplink Port to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Rule of Thumb:
”If there is a link light, the cable is right.”

What´s the difference between a crossover cable and a straight-through
cable?
The wiring in crossover and straight-through cable s are different. The two types
of cable have different purposes for different
LAN configurations. EIA/TIA 568A/568B
define the wiring standards a nd allow for
two different wiring color codes a s
illustrated in the following diagra m.
*The wires with colored backgrounds may
have white stripes a nd may be denoted
that way in diagrams f ound elsewhere.
How to tell straight-through cable from
a crossover cable:
The main way to tell the difference
between the two cable types is to compare
the wiring order on the ends of the cable. If
the wiring is the same on both sides, it is
straight-through cable. If one side ha s opposite wiring, it is a crossover cable.
All you need to remember to properly configure the cables is the pinout order of
the two cable ends and the f ollowing rules:
A straight-through ca ble ha s identical ends
A crossover ca ble ha s different ends
It makes no function al difference which standard you f ollow for straight-through
cable ends, a s long as both ends are the sa me. You ca n start a crossover ca ble
with either standard as long a s the other end is the other sta ndard. It ma kes no
functional difference which end is which. The order in which you pin the cable is
important. Using a pattern other tha n what is specif ied in the above diagra m
could cause connection problems.
When to use a crossover cable and when to use a straight-through cable:
Computer to Computer – Crossover
Computer to an normal port on a Hub/Switch – Straight-through
Computer to an uplink port on a Hub/Switch – Crossover
Hub/Switch uplink port to another Hub/Switch uplink port – Crossover
Hub/Switch uplink port to another Hub/Switch normal port – Straight-through

How can I setup my DI-824VUP to work with Earthlink DSL or any
PPPoE connection?
Make sure you disable or uninstall a ny PPPoE software such as WinPoet or Enternet
300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.
Step 1 Upgrade Firmware if needed.
(Plea se visit the D-Link tech support website at: http://support.dlink.com f or the latest
firmware upgrade information.)
Step 2 T a ke a paperclip and perf orm a hard reset. With the unit on, use a pa percli p
and hold down the reset button on the ba ck of the unit f or 10 seconds. Release it and
the router will recycle, the lights will blink, and then sta bilize.
Step 3 After the Router sta bilizes, open your browser and enter 192.168.0.1 into the
address window a nd hit the Enter key . When the pa ssword di alog box a ppears, enter
the userna me admin a nd leave the pa ssword blank. Click OK.
If the password di alog box does not come up repeat Ste p 2.
Note: Do not run Wizard.
Step 4 Click on the WAN tab on left-hand side of the screen. Select PPPoE.
Step 5 Select Dynamic PPPoE (unless your ISP supplied you with a static IP
Address).
Step 6 In the userna me field enter ELN/username@earthlink.net a nd your
pa ssword, where userna me is your own userna me.
For SBC Global users, enter username@sbcglobal.net.
For Ameritech users, enter username@ameritech.net.
For BellSouth users, enter username@bellsouth.net.
For Mindspring users, enter username@mindspring.com.
For most other ISPs, enter username.
