CHAPTER 2. OVERVIEW
General Information
The DSL-2520U device is an affordable high-end ADSL router developed for home and SOHO
(Small Office/Home Office) networks. It provides fast and simple broadband access to the Internet
and a shared connection for multi users.
DSL-2520U provides all the essentials for creating a secure high-speed wired network:
ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ standards, Fast Ethernet standard, the built-in firewall, the QoS engine,
and numerous additional features.
The router is equipped with an ADSL port to connect to an ADSL line and an Ethernet port, which
can be used to connect one computer or switch. The device is also equipped with a USB port, to
which you can connect a single computer.
The router DSL-2520U includes a built-in firewall. The advanced security functions minimize
threats of hacker attacks, prevent unwanted intrusions to your network, and block access to
unwanted websites for users of your LAN.
You can configure and manage the settings of the router DSL-2520U via the user-friendly webbased interface (the interface is available in several languages).

Parameter Description
A class of traffic for this connection.
UBR
(Unspecified Bit Rate): The UBR service is used for applications
that allow various delays and losses of packets. It is appropriate to
use the UBR service for text/data/image transfer applications, as
well as messaging, distribution, retrieval, and remote terminal
applications.
UBR With PCR
(Unspecified Bit Rate with Peak Cell Rate): The UBR service is
used for applications that allow various delays and losses of
packets. The Peak Cell Rate is a determining factor in how often
cells are sent in an effort to minimize lag or jitter caused by traffic
inconsistencies. When you select this value from the drop-down list,
the Peak Cell Rate field is displayed. Specify a required value (in
cells per second).
Configuring via Web-based Interface
QoS
CBR
(Constant Bit Rate): This service is used for applications that
require a constant data rate. It is mostly used for transferring
uncompressed audio and video, e.g. videoconferencing, interactive
audio (telephony), audio/video distribution (television, distance
education, e-shops), and retrieval (video-on demand, audio
libraries). When you select this value from the drop-down list, the
Peak Cell Rate field is displayed. Specify a required value (in
cells per second).
Non Realtime VBR
(Non-Real-time Variable Bit Rate): This service can be used for
transferring data that have critical response-time requirements, e.g.
air ticket booking, bank transactions, and process monitoring. When
you select this value from the drop-down list, the Peak Cell Rate,
Sustainable Cell Rate, and Maximum Burst Size fields are
displayed. Specify required values.
Realtime VBR
(Real-time Variable Bit Rate): This service is used for delaysensitive applications such as real time video. The Rt-VBR provides
higher network flexibility than the CBR service. When you select
this value from the drop-down list, the Peak Cell Rate,
Sustainable Cell Rate, and Maximum Burst Size fields are
displayed. Specify required values.

On the Advanced / DNS page, you can add DNS servers to the system.
Figure 31. The Advanced / DNS page.
DNS servers are used to determine the IP address from the name of a server in Intranets or the
Internet (as a rule, they are specified by an ISP or assigned by a network administrator).
The device performs the DNS relay function, i.e., it redirects the DNS requests of users to external
DNS servers. You can specify the addresses of DNS servers manually on this page, or configure the
router to obtain DNS servers addresses automatically from your ISP upon installing a connection.
When you use the built-in DHCP server, the network parameters (including DNS servers)
!
are distributed to clients automatically.
If you want to configure automatic obtainment of DNS servers addresses, deselect the Manual
checkbox, select a WAN connection which will be used to obtain addresses of DNS servers
automatically from the Interface drop-down list, and click the Change button.
If you want to specify the DNS server manually, select the Manual checkbox and enter a DNS

DMZ
A DMZ is a host or network segment located “between” internal (local) and external (global)
networks. In the router, the DMZ implements the capability to transfer a request coming to a port of
the DSL router from the external network to a specified host of the internal network.
On the Firewall / DMZ page you can specify the IP address of the DMZ host.

To enable the DMZ, select the Enabled checkbox, enter the IP address of a host from your
network in the IP address field, and click the Change button.
Page 52 of 67
DSL-2520U ADSL2/2+ Router with USB and Ethernet Ports
User Manual
Configuring via Web-based Interface
Note that when the DMZ is enabled, all traffic coming to a port of the WAN interface of the router
is directed to the same port of the specified IP address. Also note that virtual servers have higher
priority than the DMZ host. In other words, if there has been created a virtual server that directs
traffic from external port 80 to a port of the device from the router's local network, then entering
http://router_WAN_IP in the address bar, users of the external network are directed to the
specified port and IP address configured for the virtual server, but not to port 80 of the device with
the IP address specified on the Firewall / DMZ page.
To disable the DMZ, deselect the Enabled checkbox and click the Change button.
