the “Install DSL-522T” link on the initial pop-up window that appears shortly after inserting the CD and follow
the instructions as they are presented. If the window fails to open, explore the CD, double-click the
autorun.exe file or find the file Setup.exe in the folder labeled USBDRIVER, and double-click it to launch
the installation software.
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, connect the cables to the device, and connect the power adapter. You will need
to install a software driver to use the USB port. See the instructions below or go to the QIG for more
details.
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 service and requirements of your local network
.
Setup Wizard
Many users will be able to configure all the settings necessary to use the DSL-522T with the Setup Wizard.
For ADSL connections that use PPPoE or PPPoA connections, the simplest way to set up the DSL-522T is
to use the Setup Wizard to configure the Internet connection. Once you access the web interface used to

DSL-522T ADSL Router User Guide
Installation Notes
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-522T 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
Most of common web browsers 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 6.0, Netscape Navigator® version 6.2.3, 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.
USB Port or Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter)
Any computer that uses the Router must be able to connect to it through either the Ethernet port or USB port
on the Router. The easiest method of installation is via the 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 and you do not wish to
use a USB connection, 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.
Additional Software
For a bridged connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored on
another computer or gateway device using PPP client or similar third party client software, not in the Router
itself.
If your ADSL service is delivered through a PPPoE, PPPoA or Static IP 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.
Note
If you plan to use the DSL-522T’s USB port to connect to your computer, do
not connect the USB cable to the Router until you have finished all of the steps
to install the USB driver, and your computer has restarted.

Introduction
This section provides a brief description of the Router, its associated technologies, and a list of Router
features.
Router Description and Operation
The DSL-522T Router is designed to provide a simple and cost-effective ADSL Internet connection for a
private Ethernet network. The Router combines high-speed ADSL Internet connection, IP routing for the
Local Area Network (LAN) connectivity in one package.
The Router is easy to install and use. The DSL-522T connects to an Ethernet LAN or computers via standard
Ethernet ports. The ADSL connection is made using ordinary telephone line with standard connectors.
Multiple workstations can be networked and connected to the Internet using a single Wide Area Network
(WAN) interface and single global IP address. 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
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a broadband network technology that utilizes standard twistedpair copper wire telephone lines to enable broadband high-speed digital data transmission and bandwidth
hungry applications for business and residential customers.
ADSL routers and modems provide faster downloads and more reliable connectivity to the user without loss
of quality or disruption of voice/fax telephone capabilities.
ADSL service operates at speeds of up to 24 Mbps downstream and up to 1 Mbps upstream. A secure
dedicated point-to-point connection is established between the user and the central office of the service
provider.

DSL-522T ADSL Router User Guide
Router Features
The DSL-522T ADSL Router utilizes the latest ADSL enhancements to provide a reliable Internet portal
suitable for most small to medium sized offices. DSL-522T advantages include:
• PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) Security – The DSL-522T ADSL Router supports PAP (Password
Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) for PPP
connections.
• DHCP Support – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol automatically and dynamically assigns all 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-522T 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-522T 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-522T supports both RIP-1 and RIP-2 exchanges with other routers. Using both
versions lets the Router to communicate with all RIP enabled devices.
• 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 an 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-522T supports Bridged Ethernet over ATM
(RFC1483), IP over ATM (RFC1577) and PPP over ATM (RFC 2364).
• 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 standard.
• Full Network Management – The DSL-522T 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-522T 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.

Hardware Installation
The DSL-522T maintains three separate interfaces, an ADSL, an Ethernet, and a USB interface. Place the
Router in a location where it can be connected to the various devices as well as to a power source. The
Router should not be located where it will be exposed to moisture or excessive heat. Make sure the cables
and power cord are placed safely out of the way so they do not create a tripping hazard. As with any
electrical appliance, observe common sense safety procedures.
The Router can be placed on a shelf or desktop, ideally you should be able to see the LED indicators on the
front if you need to view them for troubleshooting.
Power on Router
CAUTION: The Router must be used with the power adapter included with the device.
To power on the Router:
1. Insert the AC Power Adapter cord into the power receptacle located on the rear panel of the Router and
plug the adapter into a suitable nearby power source.
2. You should see the Power LED indicator light up and remain lit. The Status LED should light solid green
and begin to blink after a few seconds.
3. If the Ethernet port is connected to a working device, check the Ethernet Link/Act LED indicators to make
sure the connection is valid. The Router will attempt to establish the ADSL connection, if the ADSL line is
connected and the Router is properly configured this should light up after several seconds. If this is the
first time installing the device, some settings may need to be changed before the Router can establish a
connection.
Factory Reset Button
The Router may be reset to the original factory default settings by depressing the reset button for a few
seconds while the device is powered on. Use a ballpoint or paperclip to gently push down the reset button.
Remember that this will wipe out any settings stored in flash memory including user account information and
LAN IP settings. The device settings will be restored to the factory default IP address 192.168.1.1 and the
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the default management Username is “admin” and the default Password is
“admin.”

DSL-522T ADSL Router User Guide
Network Connections
Network connections are provided through the ADSL port, the Ethernet port and the USB port on the back of
the Router. See the Rear Panel diagram above and the illustrations below for examples. See Installing the
USB Driver above for a description of the USB driver installation procedure.
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 Category 5 or better twisted-pair Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 port on the Router is
auto MDI-X/MDI-II meaning that is will link correctly with either MDI-II through or MDI-X crossed ports.
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 connected directly to the Router. Once the WAN connection is functioning properly, you may
continue to make changes to Router configuration including IP settings and DHCP setup. For information on
how to configure advanced features such as port redirection, filtering and firewall, please skip ahead to the
Advanced Router Management section on page.
Configuration Summary
1. Connect to the Router To configure various settings used by the Router for Internet and access it is
first necessary to access the Router’s management HTML-based interface. This is done using an
ordinary web browser. Your computer must be able to “see” the Router before it can manage it using
a browser. If the Router is in the same “neighborhood” or subnet as the Router, you should be able
to access the management software. Therefore you must first make 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 DHCP server
will automatically enable your computer to use a browser to manage 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. If you are running another operating system, make sure your computer is
configured as a DHCP client so it can automatically obtain IP settings from the Router. Some
operating systems will automatically select the best IP settings. Consult the user manual for the
operating system (OS) if you are unsure.
2. Configure the Internet (WAN) Connection Most users will be able to complete this process using
the Setup Wizard. The Setup Wizard can be launched once you have successfully connected with
the Router’s management software. There are different methods used to establish the WAN
connection to the service provider’s network and ultimately to the Internet. Your Router may already
have most of the settings configured by default. However you will probably at least have to type in a
user name and password given to you by your ISP. You may also need to know the encapsulation
and connection type required to use for your ADSL service. Your service provider should provide all
the information needed to configure the WAN connection.
Computer IP Settings
In order to configure your system to receive IP settings from the Router your computer 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.
Instructions for configuring your computer to receive IP settings from the Router are provided in Appendix B
on page 74.
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.
If you are not sure how to configure your Windows computer to be a DHCP client, see
Note
Configuring IP Settings on Your Computer begiining on page 74.
7
DSL-522T ADSL Router User Guide
Access the Configuration Manager
In order to make sure your computer’s IP settings allow it to communicate with the Router, it is advisable to
configure your system be a DHCP client – that is, it will get IP settings from the Router. Appendix B
describes how to configure different Windows operating systems to “Obtain IP settings automatically”.
Be sure that the web browser on your computer is not configured to use a proxy server in the
Internet settings. In Windows Internet Explorer, you can check if a proxy server is enabled using the
following procedure:
1. In Windows, click on the Start button and choose Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel window, click on the Network and Internet Options icon.
3. In the Network and Internet Connections window, click the Internet Options icon.
4. In the Internet Properties window, click on the Connections tab and click on the LAN Settings
Note
button
5. Verify that the “Use a proxy server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN
connections).” option is NOT checked. If it is checked, click in the checked box to deselect the
option and click OK.
Alternatively, you can access this Internet Options menu using the Tools pull-down menu in
Internet Explorer.
Login to Home Page
To use the web-based management software, launch a suitable web browser and direct it to the IP address
of the Router. Type in http:// followed by the default IP address, 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of the
browser. The URL in the address bar should read: http://192.168.1.1.
A dialog box prompts for the User Name and Password. Type in the default User Name “admin,” and the
default Password “admin” then click the OK button to access the web-based manager.
