Introduction to the Router
This chapter describes the Router and it features and includes an introduction to
ADSL technology. Diagrams are provided detailing the hardware and LED
indicators. A list of package contents is presented at the end of the chapter.
Router Description and Operation
The DSL-500 ADSL Router is designed to provide a simple, cost-effective and
secure ADSL Internet connection for your small- to medium-sized private
network. The DSL-500 combines the benefits of high-speed ADSL connection
technology and TCP/IP routing with a conventional Ethernet interface in one
compact and convenient package. ADSL connection technology enables many
interactive multi-media applications such as video conferencing and collaborative
computing.
The Router is easy to install and use. The DSL-500 connects to an Ethernet LAN
via a standard Ethernet 10BASE-T interface using RJ-45 connectors. The ADSL
connection is made using ordinary twisted-pair telephone line with standard
RJ-11 connectors. This arrangement means that several PCs can be networked
and connected to the Internet using a single WAN interface and IP address.
The Router supports transparent bridging and can be used for IP packet routing
over the Internet. Cost saving features of the Router such as NAT (Network
Address Translator) and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) improve
administration efficiency and improve security. The advanced security
enhancements, packet filtering and port redirection, can help protect your
network from potentially devastating intrusions by malicious agents from outside
your network.
ADSL Technology
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. The use of existing copper telephone lines forgoes the need
for upgrading lines or adding expensive new cable.
ADSL devices use digital coding techniques that greatly increase the potential
capacity of phone lines without interfering with regular telephone services. For
the ADSL user, this means much faster data communications and the potential
for interactive video capabilities. ADSL devices make it possible to enjoy benefits
such as high-speed Internet access, telecommuting (remote LAN access),
collaborative computing, distance learning, movies on demand and multi-player
1
DSL-500 ADSL Router User’s Guide
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 local telephone line conditions. These conditions are ideal for many
user applications. A secure point-to-point connection is established between the
user and the central office of the local telephone service provider. The user is
always connected thus eliminating dial-up time and simplifying connectivity
issues.
Product Features
The DSL-500 ADSL Router utilizes the latest ADSL enhancements and router
technologies to provide a robust Internet gateway suitable for most small to
medium sized offices.
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) Security
The DSL-500 ADSL Router supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol)
and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) for PPP connections.
DHCP Support (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically and dynamically
assigns al LAN IP settings to each host on your network. This eliminates the
need to reconfigure every host whenever changes in network topology occur.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
For small office environments, the DSL-500 allows multiple users on the LAN to
access the Internet concurrently through a single Internet account. This provides
Internet access to everyone in the office for the price of a single user.
NAT improves network security in effect by hiding the private network behind
one global and visible IP address. NAT address mapping can also be used to link
two IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN connection.
TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)
The DSL-500 supports TCP/IP protocol, the language used for the Internet. It is
compatible with access servers manufactured by major vendors.
RIP-1/RIP-2
The DSL-500 supports both RIP-1 and RIP-2 exchanges with other routers. Using
both versions lets the Router to communicate with all RIP enabled devices.
2
DSL-500 ADSL Router User’s Guide
Static Routing
This allows you to select a data path to a particular network destination that will
remain in the routing table and never “age out”. If you wish to define a specific
route that will always be used for data traffic from your LAN to a specific
destination within your LAN (for example to another router or a server) or
outside your network (to a ISP defined default gateway for instance).
Default Routing
This allows you to choose a default path for incoming data packets for which the
destination address is unknown. This is particularly useful when if the Router
functions as the sole connection to the Internet.
ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)
The DSL-500 supports
(RFC1577) and
Virtual Circuit Connections (VCCs).
PPP over ATM
Bridged Ethernet over ATM
(RFC 2364). The Router can support up to eight
(RFC1483),
IP over ATM
Precise ATM Traffic Shaping
Traffic shaping is a method of controlling the flow rate of ATM data cells. This
function helps to establish the Quality of Service for ATM data transfer.
G.hs (Auto-handshake)
This allows the Router to automatically choose either the G.lite or G.dmt ADSL
connection standards.
High Performance
Very high rates of data transfer are possible with the Router. Up to 8 Mbps
downstream bit rate using the G.dmt.
Full Network Management
The DSL-500 incorporates SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
support for web-based management and text-based network management via an
RS-232 or
Telnet
connection.
Telnet Connection
The Telnet enables a network manager to access the Router’s management
software remotely.
Easy Installation
The DSL-500 uses a web-based graphical user interface program for convenient
management access and easy set up. Any common web browser software can be
used to manage the Router.

Prepare for Installation
For the smoothest possible installation, assemble all the equipment and
information needed to set up the Router and establish the initial ADSL
connection before you begin. Everything needed for the installation is listed and
discussed in this chapter.
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 ADSL 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
ADSL 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 below.
Microfilter Installation
Note:
Do not install the microfilter between the Modem and the telephone jack.
Microfilters are only intended for use with regular telephones, Fax machines and other
regular telephone devices.

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 RJ11 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
Phone
– This port connects to the Modem.
– This port connects to a telephone or other telephone device.
The diagram below illustrates the proper use of the splitter.

Additional Requirements
You will need a PC (referred to in this guide as the Manager PC) to set up and
use the Router. In addition, it will be necessary to configure the device using
information provided by your ADSL service provider. This information is used to
establish the parameters of the ADSL connection and identify the Router on the
WAN. The requirements for the PCs on your LAN are summarized below.
PC WORKSTATION REQUIREMENTS
You can use the Router with PCs that meet the conditions discussed here.
Operating System
The web-based management software can be used on PCs running one of the
following operating systems:
Microsoft Windows 95 Windows 98 SE Windows 2000
Windows 98 Windows Me Windows NT 4.x
Web Browser
Any common web browser such as

management software.
Ethernet Adapter
All PCs using the Router for Internet access, including the Manager PC, must
have an Ethernet NIC (Network Interface Card) installed. Each computer on the
internal network must have TCP/IP Protocol enabled. If you have an existing
Ethernet set up, the PCs should already meet this requirement.

CONNECTION METHOD
It is necessary to know the connection method used for the ADSL connection. The
connection method is also known as the ADSL Protocol, Encapsulation Protocol
or Encapsulation Method. These protocols are defined by “RFCs” which are
internationally recognized standards for networking protocols. You will be
required to configure the Router to use the correct method. PPP connections
require account information to be entered and stored in the device. Bridged
Ethernet connections require that the IP settings be set manually.
The Router supports three connection methods:
♦
PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516) used by default
♦
PPP over ATM (RFC 2364)
♦
Ethernet over ATM (RFC 1483)
CONNECTION METHOD
Protocol: RFC 2516 Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
RFC 1483 Multi-protocol Encapsulation over ATM
RFC 2364 Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM
PPP CONNECTIONS (RFC 2516 & RFC 2364)
Account Information (User Name and Password)
For PPP connections, a User Name and Password for the user account are needed
to connect to the service provider’s network.

BRIDGED ETHERNET CONNECTIONS (RFC 1483)
For Bridged Ethernet connections it will be necessary to give the Router a global
IP address and default gateway.
Global IP Address
If the connection method used is Ethernet over ATM (RFC 1483), a unique global
IP address will be needed for the Router. The assigned global IP address must be
entered
When using the default connection method, PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516), a
global IP address will be assigned automatically during the connection process.
only if
the connection method used is Ethernet over ATM (RFC 1483).
Default Gateway IP Address
Some network service providers require that a default gateway router be used by
the Router to connect to their network backbone. If this is the case, the IP
address of the default gateway (router) must be entered during the configuration
of the device.

Global IP Address:
Default Gateway IP Address:
DNS SETTINGS
Your DSL service provider should give you DNS settings. These settings should
include the IP address of the DNS server as well as its domain name. You must
enter these in the DHCP Configuration menu.

Hardware Installation
This chapter discusses the various connections you will need to make in order to
use the Router.
When selecting the location for the Router, allow room to access the connections
on the rear panel. You will want to place the Router so that you will be able to
see the LED indicators on the front panel. Also allow some space above the
Router for ventilation to avoid problems with overheating.
It may be convenient for you locate the Router near the PC you intend to use for
initial configuration of the Router. For initial configuration of the device you may
need convenient access to the RS-232 serial port on the rear panel. The RS-232
serial port is intended for use with text-based console management software for
the initial configuration and for out-of-band management of the Router. Whether
it is necessary to use an RS-232 console manager for first time set up depends on
how you allocate IP addresses on your network. Read Chapter 4,
Up
to help you decide how best to use the Router on your network.
First Time Set
Connect the Power
Insert the AC Power Adapter cord into the power receptacle located on the rear
panel of the Router and plug the adapter into a nearby power source. You should
see the Power LED indicator light up and remain lit.
Connect ADSL Line
Use the twisted-pair ADSL cable (standard telephone cable) included with the
Router to connect it to your telephone line. Simply plug one end of the cable into
the ADSL port (RJ-11 receptacle) on the rear panel of the Router and insert the
other end into the wall jack. The ADSL connection is the WAN interface. It links
the Router to the network service provider’s backbone infrastructure. This is the
Router’s access point to the Internet.
The Router must undergo a negotiation process to establish the terms of the
ADSL connection. During this negotiation the Status LED will light a steady
green, after which it will blink. If the ADSL line is disconnected, it will repeat
this process.
Connect Ethernet LAN to Router
The Router may be connected to any 10BASE-T Ethernet LAN. Connection to an
Ethernet concentrating device such as a switch or hub should use standard
twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 port on the Router is a
27
DSL-500 ADSL Router User’s Guide
straight-through (MDI-X) connection. Follow standard Ethernet guidelines when
deciding what type of cable to use to make this connection. Use a normal crossed
cable when connecting the Router to a normal (MDI-X) port on a switch or hub.
Use a straight-through cable when connecting it to an uplink (MDI-II) port on a
hub or switch. When connecting the Router directly to a PC or server (MDI-II)
use a straight-through cable. A valid connection will be indicated by a steady
green Ethernet Link LED indicator.
The rules governing Ethernet cable lengths apply to the LAN to Router
connection. Be sure that the cable connecting the Ethernet LAN to the Router
does not exceed 100 meters.
The diagram below illustrates a typical Ethernet LAN to Router connection.
