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.

Note:
Do not install the microfilter between the Modem and the telephone jack.
Microfilters are only intended for use with regular telephones, Fax
vi
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:

you must still provide a user name and password to log-on.

Multiprotocol Encapsulation over
Encapsulation Method
It may be necessary to use an encapsulation method that is different from the default method. The
protocol used for your connection, and thus the driver you use will determine which encapsulation
method is used. If your DSL service provider does not specify, use the default encapsulation method.
Modulation Technique
It may be necessary to use a modulation method that is different from the default method. If your DSL
service provider does not specify, use the default modulation method called Multimode.

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
