DSL-210 USB ADSL Modem User’s Guide

Before You Start

In addition to the Modem hardware and software drivers, you will to gather information before you begin to install the device. Your DSL service provider will give you information required for a successful ADSL connection. You will use this information when you decide which driver to install and when you configure the Modem. In order to avoid problems please read this section and make sure you understand all the prerequisites for proper installation of your new Modem.

Operating System

The D-Link DSL-210 can be used with PCs running Microsoft® Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition (ME), Windows XP.

USB Port

In addition to the Windows OS, you will need an available USB (Universal Serial Bus) port, compliant with the USB 1.1 specification, on your computer. These are commonly installed on newer computers, however older PCs may require the installation of a suitable USB port.

Additional Software

It may be necessary to install software on your computer that enables the computer to access the Internet (through computers operated by your ISP or service provider). Additional software must be installed if you are using what is called a “bridged” connection. For a bridged connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored on your computer, not in the Modem. This type of connection is similar to the arrangement used for analog dial-up modems, but the connection speed is much faster. Various terms are to describe a bridged ADSL connection including the term “RFC 1483 Bridge” which is used in this guide.

If your ADSL service is delivered through a PPP (Point to Point Protocol) connection, the information needed to establish and maintain the Internet connection is stored in the Modem. In this case, it is not necessary to install software on your computer.

Additional PVC Settings

If you are using multiple virtual connections it will be necessary to provide additional VPI and VCI values for the device. These numbers define a unique route used on the ATM backbone of the WAN. Chapter 5 contains instruction on how to set up additional PVCs for accounts using more than one virtual connection.

DSL-210 USB ADSL Modem User’s Guide

Microfilters and Splitters

Most ADSL clients will be required to install a simple device that prevents the ADSL line from interfering with regular telephone services. These devices are commonly referred to as microfilters or sometimes called (inaccurately) line splitters. They are easy to install and use standard telephone connectors and cable.

Some DSL service providers will send a telecommunications technician to modify the telephone line, usually at the point where the phone line enters the building. If a technician has divided or split your telephone line into two separate lines - one for regular telephone service and the other for ADSL – then you do not need to use any type of filter device. Follow the instructions given to you by your DSL service provider about where and how you should connect the Modem to the ADSL line.

Microfilters

Unless you are instructed to use a “line splitter” (see below), it will be necessary to install a microfilter (low pass filter) device for each telephone or telephone device (answering machines, Faxes etc.) that share the line with the ADSL service. Microfilters are easy-to-install, in-line devices, which attach to the telephone cable between the telephone and wall jack. Microfilters that install behind the wall plate are also available. A typical in-line microfilter installation is shown in the diagram to the right.

In-Line Microfilter

Note:

Do not install the microfilter between the Modem and the telephone jack.

Microfilters are only intended for use with regular telephones, Fax

DSL-210 USB ADSL Modem User’s Guide

Line Splitter

If you are instructed to use a “line splitter”, you must install the device between the Modem and the phone jack. Use standard telephone cable with standard RJ-11 connectors. The splitter has three RJ-11 ports used to connect to the wall jack, the Modem and if desired, a telephone or telephone device.

The connection ports are typically labeled as follows:

Line

- This port connects to the wall jack.

ADSL

– This port connects to the Modem.

Phone

This diagram illustrates how a line splitter should be installed.

– This port connects to a telephone or other telephone device.

DSL “Splitter” Device

ADSL Service

In order to use the Modem you must first have ADSL service established with a DSL service provider. There are four standards used for ADSL connections known as ANSI T1.413 issue 2, G.Lite, G.dmt and G.hs. The standards differ somewhat as to data transfer speed or bit rate. For user convenience, the Modem supports the G.hs Auto-handshake ADSL standard. This allows the Modem to operate with either type of connection.

Network Protocol and the Software Driver

The protocol used for your ADSL service will determine the particular software driver to be installed. You will need to select one driver to operate the Modem. Ask your DSL service provider to assist you in selecting either the EoA (Bridged/routed Ethernet over ATM (RFC 2684/1483), Classical IP over ATM (RFC 2225/1577)), PPPoA (PPP over ARM (RFC 2364)) or PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516)) driver to operate the Modem.

vii

DSL-210 USB ADSL Modem User’s Guide

If your ADSL service uses PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) to establish the connection, you will install the PPPoA or PPPoE driver. Using a PPP connection will be familiar to anyone who has used a conventional dial-up analog modem for Internet connection. PPP is used to verify the user’s identity and to control access to the network. A PPP session requires that a user name and password be given before gaining access to network services. PPP sessions are ended when you log-off and terminate your connection to the service provider’s network. Specifically, if your ADSL service uses the protocol defined by

RFC 2516

PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5

, or

PPP over Ethernet,

install the PPPoA or PPPoE driver.

RFC 2364

If the protocol used for your ADSL service is defined by

ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (Bridged Ethernet)

may be required to manually configure your IP settings. Your DSL service provider will tell you if you need to configure your PCs IP settings. The drivers are fundamentally different in the way they relate to operating system of the computer. The computer/Modem relationship can be summarized as follows:

Chapter 1 - Introduction

ADSL modem technology is a relatively new technology and may be unfamiliar to the reader. In this section, we introduce you to ADSL technology and give a brief description of its key attributes. We also give a general description of the D-Link DSL-210 USB ADSL Modem and its main features.

What is ADSL?

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is an access technology that utilizes ordinary copper telephone lines to enable broadband high-speed digital data transmission and interactive multimedia applications for business and residential customers. Using existing phone lines avoids the need for adding expensive new cable.

ADSL modems use digital coding techniques that greatly increase the bandwidth capacity of telephone lines without interfering with regular telephone services. For the ADSL modem user, this means much faster data communications. ADSL modems make it possible to enjoy benefits such as high-speed Internet access, telecommuting, collaborative computing, distance learning, movies on demand and multi-player video gaming without experiencing any loss of quality or disruption of voice/fax telephone capabilities.

ADSL provides a dedicated service over a single telephone line operating at speeds of up to 8 Mbps downstream (to the user) and up to 640 Kbps upstream, depending on the type of service and local telephone line conditions. These conditions are ideal for many user applications. A secure point-topoint connection is established between the user and the central office of the local telephone company. The user is always connected, thus eliminating dial-up time and simplifying connectivity issues.

D-Link ADSL devices incorporate the recommendations of the ADSL Forum (www.adsl.com framing, data format, and upper layer protocols.

) regarding

Modem Description and Operation

The DSL-210 USB ADSL Modem is easy to install and use. Please note that you must first install the software driver for the device by following the instructions in Chapter 3. Once the driver has been installed you can connect the Modem to your computer. The Modem connects directly to any functional USB port on a PC with standard USB cable.

Software drivers for D-Link ADSL USB Modems can be fully upgraded by simply loading newer versions onto your PC. This will allow you to update the modem and use new features and enhancements as they are developed and standardized. Online information regarding the latest downloadable software and improvements can be found at http://tsd.dlink.com.tw

Chapter 4 - Connecting to the Internet

Now that the driver software has been installed, you are ready to establish a connection to the Internet. The connection from your computer to the Internet is actually an indirect connection. You must first get connected to the computers that control the connection to the larger network or Internet. Usually, the ADSL service provider or ISP own the servers that control network access. Follow the instructions for the driver (CLIP, EoA, PPPoE or PPPoA) you have installed and the operating system you use on your computer.

If you have installed the PPPoE or PPPoA driver, you are using PPP to connect to your network service provider. The procedure you follow will be familiar if you have ever installed a dial-up modem. The EoA driver requires additional PPP client software (usually provided by your ADSL service provider) to establish and manage the ADSL connection.

Connect with PPPoE and PPPoA Drivers

For PPP connections you simply double-click on the Modem icon and type in your network access user name and password, just as if you were using a conventional analog dial-up modem.

3. Once your account information is verified, the computers will complete the connection to the network. This process or “negotiation” can take a few seconds to complete. When the negotiation process is finished a “Connection Established” dialog box will appear to confirm that you have successfully connected to the network. You can close this dialog box and proceed to use the Internet.

Connect with EoA Drivers

If your ADSL connection uses the RFC1483 protocol, TCP/IP settings must be configured in your system in order to connect to your service provider’s network (and ultimately connect to the Internet).

Your ADSL service provider or ISP should give the following information to you:

IP Address . . . . . .

Subnet Mask

Gateway IP Address

DNS Host Name

DNS Domain Name

DNS Server IP Address

Use the information to configure the Modem. Follow the instructions for your operating system.

IP Address Assignment

IP addresses are 32-bit numbers (in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 that uniquely identify every location on the Internet. In order to communicate with sites on the Internet, your PC must be assigned a unique IP address.

If your ADSL service provider or ISP uses the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), your computer can be assigned an IP address automatically. Checking the

automatically

through DHCP. This is often referred to as a “dynamic” IP address because it can change over time.

If your ADSL service provider or ISP does not use DHCP, you must manually enter your PC’s IP address. Your service provider supplies this address. Check the IP address of the DNS server in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (as an example, 172.19.10.91). This is often referred to as a “static” IP address because it will not change over time.

Subnet Mask

This is a bit mask that determines the extent of the subnet that the PC is on. It is used in combination with an IP address to define areas of the local network that are logically separated from the rest of the network (subnets). It is in the form 0 and 255. The value should be 255.0.0.0 for a Class A network, 255.255.0.0 for a Class B network, and

255.255.255.0 for a Class C network, but custom subnet masks are allowed.

It is recommended that you accept the default Subnet Mask suggested by Windows that corresponds to the class of IP address you entered above.
