Before You Start
Please read and make sure you understand all the prerequisites for proper installation of your new
Router. Have all the necessary information and equipment on hand before beginning the installation.
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.
Requirements
To install and use the Router you need a computer equipped with an Ethernet port (such as an Ethernet
NIC) and a web browser. You may also need to use information given to you by your ISP or ADSL service
provider. This information is stored in the Router memory and used to establish the ADSL connection and
confirm your identity. Read the next page for more details about these requirements.
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.
Appendix B provides illustrated examples of how to install two common styles of low pass filters.
Operating System
The DSL-514 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.
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 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.
vi
DSL-514 ADSL Router User’s Guide
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.
Router vs. Bridge Mode
The DSL-514 can be used in four different mode or roles, a router mode or bridge mode. In bridge mode
the device is intended to connect a single computer to the Internet or WAN (Wide Area Network) interface.
In bridge mode the device is said to be invisible since it does not have an IP address. The IP address is
actually configure on the computer connected to the Ethernet LAN interface. If you are using the device in
bridge mode it is recommended that you run firewall software on the computer connected to it.
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 Router. This
type of connection is similar to the arrangement used for analog dial-up Routers, 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 Router. In this case, it is not
necessary to install software on your computer.
Account Information (User Name and Password)
Most users will need to supply a user name and password used to access the service provider’s network
(and ultimately, the Internet). This information is stored either in the Router’s memory or on your
computer depending on the type of ADSL connection you have.
User Name:
Password:
ACCOUNT INFORMATION (PPP Connections Only)
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 1 - Introduction
ADSL router 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-514 ADSL Router 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 Routers use digital coding techniques that greatly increase the bandwidth capacity of telephone
lines without interfering with regular telephone services. For the ADSL Router user, this means much
faster data communications. ADSL Routers 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
Router Description and Operation
The DSL-514 ADSL Router is designed to provide a simple, cost-effective and secure ADSL Internet
connection for your small to medium-sized corporate LAN. The DSL-514 combines the benefits of
high-speed ADSL connection technology and TCP/IP routing with Ethernet capabilities 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-514 offers four dedicated Ethernet LAN ports using
standard 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.
The Router can be used for IP packet routing over the WAN and also supports transparent bridging. The
Router is ideal for secure telecommuting through the use of virtual private networks (VPN). Cost saving
capabilities of the Router include NAT (Network Address Translator) and DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) which allow you connect several hosts to the Internet using a single global IP
address.

Chapter 2 - Hardware Installation
In this chapter you will learn about the various connections you will need to make in order to use the
Router.
When selecting the location for the Router, allow ample room to access the connections on the rear panel.
For convenience, try to place the Router near your computer so you can monitor the LED indicators.
Allow some space above the Router for ventilation to avoid problems with overheating.
Connect the 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.
Computer to Router Connection
You can begin connection the Router by performing the following steps:
1. Insert one end of the ADSL cable (26 AWG twisted-pair telephone cable) into the telephone wall jack
(RJ-11 port).
2. Insert the other end of the ADSL cable into the ADSL port (RJ-11 port) on the Router.
3. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the back panel of the Router.
4. Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable to the PC using Ethernet cable.
You can connect the Route
directly to a 10/100BASE-T
Ethernet adapter card (NIC)
installed on a PC using the
Ethernet cable provided as

Connect Ethernet LAN to Router
The Router may be connected to any 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet LAN. 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 higher than 10Mbps,
be sure that the device has auto-negotiation (NWay) enabled for the connecting port.
Use standard twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors. The 4 dedicated RJ-45 ports on the Router are a
crossed (MDI-X) connection ports. 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 straight-through cable when connecting it to an uplink (MDI-II) port
on a hub or switch. The Ethernet Link LED indicator will indicate a valid connection.
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.
Hub or Switch to Router Connection
Connect the Router to an uplink port (MDI-II) on an Ethernet hub or switch with a straight-through cable
as shown in the diagram below:
If you wish to reserve the
uplink port on the switch o
hub for another device,
connect to any on the othe
MDI-X ports (1x, 2x, etc.) with
a cross-wired cable or use
crossover adapter.

Chapter 3 - Configuring the Router for the
First Time
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 change settings to suit your network. This
chapter is only concerned with settings up the WAN connection. The following chapter, Web-based
Management Guide, 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-
communicate with the Router through its management interface, which is HTML-based and can be
accessed using a web browser. To access the management software 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-
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.
To configure the WAN connection used by the Router it is first necessary to
Once your are able to access the configuration software you can
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. Below
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 instruction
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, configure the system to be a
DHCP client.
Note
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
