1 Safety Precautions

Follow the following instructions to prevent the device from risks and damage caused by fire or electric power:

 Use volume labels to mark the type of power.  Use the power adapter packed within the device package.  Pay attention to the power load of the outlet or prolonged lines. An overburden power outlet or damaged lines and plugs may cause electric shock or fire accident.

Check the power cords regularly. If you find any damage, replace it at once.

 Proper space left for heat dissipation is necessary to avoid damage caused by overheating to the device. The long and thin holes on the device are designed for

heat dissipation to ensure that the device works normally. Do not cover these heat dissipation holes.

3 Hardware Installation

3.1 Choosing the Best Location for Wireless Operation

Many environmental factors may affect the effective wireless function of the DSL Router. If this is the first time that you set up a wireless network device, read the following information: The access point can be placed on a shelf or desktop, ideally you should be able to see the LED indicators in the front, as you may need to view them for troubleshooting. Designed to go up to 100 meters indoors and up to 300 meters outdoors, wireless LAN lets you access your network from anywhere you want. However, the numbers of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through limit signal range. Typical ranges vary depending on types of materials and background RF noise in your home or business.

3.2 Connecting the Router

(1) Connect the DSL port of the router and the Modem port of the splitter

with a telephone cable; connect the phone to the phone port of the splitter through a cable; and connect the incoming line to the Line port of the splitter.

The spliiter has three ports:

 LINE: Connect to a wall phone jack (RJ-11 jack)  Modem: Connect to the Line interface of the router  PHONE: Connect to a telephone set

(2) Connect the LAN port of the router to the network interface card (NIC) of

the PC through an Ethernet cable (MDI/MDIX).

(3) Plug the power adapter to the wall outlet and then connect the other end

of it to the Power port of the router.

4 About the Web Configuration

The first time you setup the Router. It is recommended that you configure the WAN connection using a single computer, to ensure that both the computer and the Router are not connected to the LAN. Once the WAN connection operates properly, you may continue to make changes to Router configuration, including IP settings and DHCP setup. This chapter is concerned with using your computer to configure the WAN connection. The following chapter describes the various menus used to configure and monitor the Router, including how to change IP settings and DHCP server setup.

4.1 Preparation Before Login

Before accessing the Routerre the communication between PC and Router is normal. Check the communication as follows. Configure the IP address of the PC as 192.168.1.X (2~254), net mask as

255.255.255.0, gateway address as 192.168.1.1 (for customized version, configure them according to the actual version). Enter arp -a in the DOS window to check whether the PC can read the MAC address of the Router.

Ping the MAINTENANCE IP address (192.168.1.1 by default) of the Router. If the PC can read the MAC address of the Router and can ping through the MAINTENANCE IP address of the Router, that means the communication of the PC and the Router is normal.

Note:

When you manage the Router through Web, you must keep the Router power on. Otherwise, the Router may be damaged.

4.2 Logging In to the Router

DSL-2730B User Manual

4.3 Setup

4.3.1 Wizard

Wizard enables fast and accurate configuration of Internet connection and other important parameters. The following sections describe these various configuration

parameters. When subscribing to a broadband service, you should be aware of the method, by which you are connected to the Internet. Your physical W AN device can be Ethernet, DSL, or both. Technical information about the properties of your Internet connection is provided by your Internet service provider (ISP). For example, your ISP should inform you whether you are connected to the Internet using a static or dynamic IP address, or the protocol, such as PPPoA or PPPoE, that you use to communicate over the Internet.

Choose Setup > Wizard. The page shown in the figure appears.

If you select the PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) or PPP over ATM (PPPoA) as the connection protocol, the following page appears.

 PPP Username: The correct user name that your ISP provides to you.  PPP Password: The correct password that your ISP provides to you.  Authentication Method: The value can be AUTO, PAP, CHAP, or

MSCHAP. Usually, you can select AUTO.

 Dial on demand (with idle timeout timer): If this function is enabled,

you need to enter the idle timeout time. Within the preset minutes, if the router does not detect the flow of the user continuously, the router automatically stops the PPPoE connection. Once it detects the flow (like access to a webpage), the router restarts the PPPoE dialup.

If this function is disabled, the router performs PPPoE dial-up all the time. The PPPoE connnection does not stop, unless the router is powered off and DSLAM or uplink equipment is abnormal.

 MTU Size: Maximum Transmission Unit. Sometimes, you must modify

this function to access network successfully.

 PPP IP extension: If this function is enabled, the WAN IP address

obtained by the router through built-in dial-up can be directly assigned to the PC being attached to the router (at this time, the router connects to only one PC). From the aspect of the PC user, the PC dials up to obtain an IP addres. But actually, the dial-up is done by the router. If this function is disabled, the router itself obtains the WAN IP address.

 Use Static IP Address: If this function is disabled, the router obtains an

IP address assigned by an uplink equipment such as BAS, through PPPoE dial-up.

If this function is enabled, the router uses this IP address as the WAN IP address.

 Enable NAT: Select it to enable the NAT functions of the router. If you do

not want to enable NAT and wish the router user to access the Internet normally, you must add a route on the uplink equipment. Otherwise, the access to the Internet fails. Normally, NAT should be enabled.

 Enable Firewall: Enable or disable IP filtering.  Enable IGMP Multicast: IGMP proxy. For example, if you wish that the

PPPoE mode supports IPTV, enable this function.

DSL-2730B User Manual

If you select the MAC Encapsulation Routing(MER) as the connection protocol, the following page appears.

 Obtain an IP address automatically: The modem obtains a WAN IP

address automatically and at this time it enables DHCP client functions. The WAN IP address is obtained from the uplink equipment like BAS and the uplink equipment is required to enable the DHCP server functions.

 Use the following IP address: If you want to manually enter the WAN IP

address, select this check box and enter the information in the field.

 WAN IP Address: Enter the IP address of the W AN interface provided by

your ISP.

 WAN Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask concerned to the IP address

of the WAN interface provided by your ISP.

 Default Gateway: Enter the default gateway.  Obtain DNS info automatically from WAN interface: You can get DNS

server information from the selected WAN interface

 Use the following Static DNS IP address: If you want to manually enter

the IP address of the DNS server, select this check box and enter the information in the fields.

 Primary DNS server: Enter the IP address of the primary DNS server.  Secondary DNS server: Enter the IP address of the secondary DNS

server provided by your ISP.

After proper settings, click Next.
