Installation Overview

The procedure to install the Router can be described in general terms in the following steps:

1. Gather information and equipment needed to install the device. Before you begin the actual installation make sure you have all the necessary information and equipment.

2. Install the hardware, that is, connect the cables (Ethernet and telephone) to the device and connect the power adapter.

3. Check the IP settings on your computer and change them if necessary so the computer can access the web-based software built into the Router.

4. Use the web-based management software to conﬁgure the device to suit the requirements of your ADSL account.

D-Link Systems, Inc.

DSL-504T User’s Manual

Installation Requirements

In order to establish a connection to the Internet it will be necessary to provide information to the Router that will be stored in its memory. For some users, only their account information (Username and Password) is required. For others, various parameters that control and deﬁne the Internet connection will be required. You can print out the two pages below and use the tables to list this information. This way you have a hard copy of all the information needed to setup the Router. If it is necessary to reconﬁgure the device, all the necessary information can be easily accessed. Be sure to keep this information safe and private.

Low Pass Filters

Since ADSL and telephone services share the same copper wiring to carry their respective signals, a ﬁltering mechanism may be necessary to avoid mutual interference. A low pass ﬁlter device can be installed for each telephone that shares the line with the ADSL line. These ﬁlters are easy to install passive devices that connect to the ADSL device and/or telephone using standard telephone cable. Ask your service provider for more information about the use of low pass ﬁlters with your installation.

Operating Systems

The DSL-504T uses an HTML-based web interface for setup and management. The web conﬁguration manager may be accessed using any operating system capable of running web browser software, including Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.

Web Browser

Any common Web browser can be used to conﬁgure the Router using the web conﬁguration management software. The program is designed to work best with more recently released browsers such as Opera, Microsoft Internet Explorer® version 5.0, Netscape Navigator® version 4.7, or later versions. The web browser must have JavaScript enabled. JavaScript is enabled by default on many browsers. Make sure JavaScript has not been disabled by other software (such as virus protection or web user security packages) that may be running on your computer.

Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter)

Any computer that uses the router must be able to connect to it through the Ethernet port on the Router. This connection is an Ethernet connection and therefore requires that your computer be equipped with an Ethernet port as well. Most notebook computers are now sold with an Ethernet port already installed. Likewise, most fully assembled desktop computers come with an Ethernet NIC adapter as standard equipment. If your computer does not have an Ethernet port, you must install an Ethernet NIC adapter before you can use the Router. If you must install an adapter, follow the installation instructions that come with the Ethernet NIC adapter.

DSL-504T User’s Manual

Additional Software

It may be necessary to install software on your computer that enables the computer to access the Internet. Additional software must be installed if you are using the device a simple bridge. For a bridged connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored on another computer or gateway device, not in the Router itself. If your ADSL service is delivered through a Dynamic, PPPoE/PPPoA, Static, or Bridge connection, the information needed to establish and maintain the Internet connection can be stored in the Router. In this case, it is not necessary to install software on your computer. It may however be necessary to change some settings in the device, including account information used to identify and verify the connection. All connections to the Internet require a unique global IP address. For bridged connections, the global IP settings must reside in a TCP/IP enabled device on the LAN side of the bridge, such as a PC, a server, a gateway device such as a router or similar ﬁrewall hardware. The IP address can be assigned in a number of ways. Your network service provider will give you instructions about any additional connection software or NIC conﬁguration that may be required.

Introduction

Router Description and Operation

The DSL-504T ADSL Router is designed to provide a simple and cost-effective ADSL Internet connection for individual computers through the Ethernet ports, or use it to bridge your Ethernet LAN to the Internet. The DSL-504T combines the beneﬁts of high-speed ADSL technology and LAN IP management in one compact and convenient package. ADSL technology enables many interactive multi-media applications such as video conferencing and collaborative computing. The Router is easy to install and use. The DSL-504T connects to computers or an Ethernet LAN via a standard Ethernet interface. The ADSL connection is made using ordinary twisted-pair telephone line with standard connectors. Multiple PCs can be networked and connected to the Internet using a single Wide Area Network (WAN) interface and single global 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 for your private network. 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.

Introduction

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. ADSL greatly increases the signal carrying capacity of copper telephone lines without interfering with regular telephone services. For the ADSL user, this means faster downloads and more reliable connectivity. ADSL devices make it possible to enjoy beneﬁts such as high-speed Internet access 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 and up to 640 Kbps upstream, depending on local telephone line conditions. A secure point-to-point connection is established between the user and the central ofﬁce of the service provider. D-Link ADSL devices incorporate the recommendations of the ADSL Forum regarding framing, data format, and upper layer protocols.

Network Connections

Network connections are provided through the ADSL port and the four Ethernet ports on the back of the Router. See the Rear Panel diagram and the illustrations below for examples.

Connect ADSL Line

Use the ADSL cable included with the Router to connect it to a telephone wall socket or receptacle. 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 RJ-11 wall socket. If you are using a low pass ﬁlter device, follow the instructions included with the device or given to you by your service provider. The ADSL connection represents the WAN interface, the connection to the Internet. It is the physical link to the service provider’s network backbone and ultimately to the Internet.

Connect Router to Ethernet

The Router may be connected to a single computer or Ethernet device through the 10/100 BASE-TX Ethernet port on the rear panel. Any connection to an Ethernet concentrating device such as a switch or hub must operate at a speed of 10/100 Mbps only. When connecting the Router to any Ethernet device that is capable of operating at speeds between 0~100Mbps, be sure that the device has auto-negotiation (NWay) enabled for the connecting port. Use standard twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 port on the Router is a crossed port (MDI-X). Follow standard Ethernet guidelines when deciding what type of cable to use to make this connection. When connecting the Router directly to a PC or server use a normal straight-through cable. You should use a crossed cable when connecting the Router to a normal (MDI-X) port on a switch or hub. Use a normal straightthrough cable when connecting it to an uplink (MDI-II) port on a hub or switch.

Wired Network Connections

The rules governing Ethernet cable lengths apply to the LAN to Router connection. Be sure that the cable connecting the LAN to the Router does not exceed 100 meters.

Basic Router Conﬁguration

The ﬁrst time you setup the Router it is recommended that you conﬁgure the WAN connection using a single computer making sure that both the computer and the Router are not connected to the LAN. Once the WAN connection is functioning 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.

Wan Conﬁguration Summary

1. Connect to the Router To conﬁgure the WAN connection used by the Router

it is ﬁrst necessary to communicate with the Router through its management interface, which is HTML-based and can be accessed using a web browser. To access the management section, your computer must be able to “see” the Router. Your computer can see the Router if it is in the same “neighborhood” or subnet as the Router. This is accomplished by making sure your computer has IP settings that place it in the same subnet as the Router. The easiest way to make sure your computer has the correct IP settings is to conﬁgure it to use the DHCP server in the Router. The next section describes how to change the IP conﬁguration for a computer running a Windows operating system to be a DHCP client.

2. Conﬁgure the WAN Connection Once you are able to access the conﬁguration

software you can proceed to change the settings required to establish the ADSL connection and connect to the service provider’s network. There are different methods used to establish the connection to the service provider’s network and ultimately to the Internet. You should know what Encapsulation and connection type you are required to use for your ADSL service. It is also possible that you must change the PVC settings used for the ADSL connection. Your service provider should provide all the information you need to conﬁgure the WAN connection.

Basic Router Conﬁguration

Conﬁguring IP Settings on Your Computer

In order to conﬁgure your system to receive IP settings from the Router it must ﬁrst have the TCP/IP protocol installed. If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably already has TCP/IP protocol installed. If you are using Windows XP the TCP/IP is enabled by default for standard installations. On the following page is an illustrated example of how to conﬁgure a Windows XP system to automatically obtain IP settings from the Router. Following this example is a step-by-step description of the procedures used on the other Windows operating systems to ﬁrst check if the TCP/IP protocol has been installed; if it is not, instructions are provided for installing it. Once the protocol has been installed you can conﬁgure the system to receive IP settings from the Router. For computers running non-Windows operating systems, follow the instructions for your OS that conﬁgure the system to receive an IP address from the Router, that is,

D-Link Systems, Inc.

DSL-504T User’s Manual

If you are using this Router to provide Internet access for more than one computer, you can use these instructions later to change the IP settings for the other computers. However, you cannot use the same IP address since every computer must have its own IP address that is unique on the local network.

Conﬁgure Windows XP for DHCP

Use the following steps to conﬁgure a computer running Windows XP to be a DHCP client.

From the Start menu on your desktop, go to Settings, then click on Network Connections. If the network setting is not displayed, go to Start>Settings>Control Panel>Network Connections.
