AVERTISSEMENT AUX UTILISATEURS

L’utilisation des bandes de fréquences des 2.4GHz et 5GHz pour les RLAN est réglementée par l’ART (Autorité de Régulation des Télécoms). BANDE DE FREQUENCES DES 2.4GHZ La décision N° 02-1008 en date du 31 octobre 2002 autorise l’utilisation d’une partie de la bande de fréquences 2400-2483,5 MHz pour les réseaux locaux radioéléctriques (RLAN) comme suit :

L’utilisation de la bande 2400-2446,5 MHz est autorisée à l’intérieur des bâtiments avec une puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) limitée à 10 mW et que l’utilisation de la bande 2446,5-2483,5 MHz est autorisée à l’intérieur des bâtiments avec une PIRE limitée à 100 mW. L’utilisation en extérieur est soumise à demande d’autorisation sur la bande de fréquences de 2446,5-2483,5 MHz avec une puissance limitée à 100mW. Dans certains départements, dont la liste est publiée par l'Autorité de régulation des télécommunications, l'utilisation de la totalité de la bande 2400- 2483,5 MHz est autorisée à l'intérieur des bâtiments avec une puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente maximale de 100 mW. Dans ces mêmes départements, l'utilisation de la bande 2400-2454 MHz est autorisée à l'extérieur des bâtiments avec une puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente maximale de 100 mW et l'utilisation de la bande 2454-2483,5 MHz est autorisée à l'extérieur des bâtiments avec une puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente maximale de 10 mW. L’Autorité poursuit les négociations avec le ministère de la Défense en vue de l’ouverture de la totalité de la bande 2400-2483,5 MHz en intérieur et en extérieur avec une PIRE de 100 mW. Cette ouverture est acquise d'ores et déjà dans certains départements d'Outre-mer. En installant et utilisant les produits réseaux sans fils de la gamme proposée par D-Link, vous vous engagez donc à respecter cette réglementation.

Pour tour information complémentaire et les dernières informations concernant l’évolution de la réglementation française, nous vous conseillons de consulter le site de l’ART : www.art-telecom.fr.

BANDE DE FREQUENCES DES 5GHZ

L’Autorité de Régulation des Télécommunications (ART) autorise l’utilisation d’une partie de la bande de fréquences des 5GHz pour les réseaux locaux radioélectriques (RLAN) intégrant des solutions 802.11a supportant les fonctions DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) et TPC (Transmit Power Control).

Seule la bande 5150-5350MHz est autorisée en France pour une utilisation intérieure avec une puissance limitée à 200 mW en mode infrastructure.

En installant et en utilisant les produits réseaux sans fil 802.11a de la gamme D-Link commercialisée en France, vous vous engagez à respecter cette réglementation.

AVVERTIMENTI PER GLI UTILIZZATORI

L’utilizzo della banda di frequenza dei 2.4 GHz per applicazioni di tipo Radio LAN sul mercato Italiano, è regolamentato dal Ministero delle Comunicazioni secondo il Nuovo Piano Nazionale Gestioni Frequenze relativo al D.M. dell’8 Luglio 2002 e dalle relative modifiche come dal Decreto del Ministero delle Comunicazioni del 20 Febbraio 2003 (nota 158).

Viene definito come Radio Local Area Network (di seguito denominate “Radio LAN” o “R-LAN”) un sistema di comunicazioni in rete locale mediante radiofrequenze che utilizza apparati a corto raggio secondo le caratteristiche di armonizzazione e tecniche previste dal vigente Piano nazionale di ripartizione delle frequenze, nelle seguenti bande di frequenza: 2.400,0 – 2.483,5 MHz (brevemente banda a 2.4 GHz).

I sistemi Radio LAN sono regolati da apposite normative. Principalmente valgono le normative F.C.C. per gli U.S.A., il Canada, e gli altri paesi aderenti alle F.C.C., come gli ex paesi U.R.S.S.; mentre le norme E.T.S. 300T-328-2 e correlate, emanate dall'organo Europeo E.T.S.I., valgono per i paesi dell'Unione Europea, Giappone e per i paesi aderenti a queste normative.

La normativa tecnica ETS 300T-328-2 impone di non irradiare con una potenza E.I.R.P. superiore ai 100 mW (equivalente a 20 dBm).

In linea di principio inoltre impone agli apparati Radio LAN, di non trasmettere con una potenza elettrica effettiva superiore ai 50 mW (equivalente a 17 dBm); questo perché l'antenna a dipolo più semplice, che di solito li accompagna, ha generalmente un guadagno in trasmissione pari a circa 2.5 dBi, che fa si che la potenza E.I.R.P. trasmessa salga a circa 80 mW (per la precisione 19.2 dBm).

vii

DSL-524T ADSL Router Manual

Per questo motivo su tutto il territorio dell'Unione Europea, ed anche in Italia, è assolutamente vietato utilizzare antenne che abbiano un guadagno in trasmissione elevato (in linea di massima diciamo superiore ai 5 dBi), tale da portare la potenza trasmessa E.I.R.P. oltre i 100 mW (equivalente a 20 dBm).

Nel caso in cui invece sia possibile regolare il livello di potenza trasmessa dagli Access Point, viene data la possibilità di utilizzare antenne ad alto guadagno attenendosi strettamente ad una serie di istruzioni di seguito riportate che consentono questo utilizzo rimanendo comunque all’interno della potenza massima trasmessa E.I.R.P. pari e non superiore a 100mW (20dBm).

CALCOLO DELLA POTENZA E.I.R.P. IN EMISSIONE

La formula di calcolo per ottenere l’E.I.R.P. effettivo è la seguente:

Ptx = Potenza trasmessa al connettore dell’antenna di trasmissione Gtx = Guadagno dell’antenna di trasmissione

Il valore ottenuto dalla somma, NON deve superare quanto espresso dalla normativa ovvero 20dBm. Nel caso in cui si voglia convertire il risultato ottenuto in mW, utilizzare la semplice tabella di conversione di seguito riportata.

E.I.R.P. (dBm) = Ptx (dBm) + Gtx (dBi) dove

INSTALLAZIONE ED UTILIZZO DI SITEMI RADIO LAN AD USO PRIVATO

Come riportato nel D.P.R. n° 447/01 Art. 6 – Punto B (Libero uso) del 5 Ottobre 2001: “Sono di libero uso le apparecchiature che impiegano frequenze di tipo collettivo, senza alcuna protezione, per

collegamenti a brevissima distanza con apparati a corto raggio, compresi quelli rispondenti alla raccomandazione CEPT-ERC/REC 70-03, tra le quali rientrano in particolare:

b) Reti locali di tipo radiolan e hiperlan nell’ambito del fondo, ai sensi dell’articolo 183, comma secondo, del

decreto del Presidente della Repubblica n. 156 del 1973; sono disciplinate ai sensi dell’articolo 5 le reti

… Per “fondo” pubblico o privato, si intende un ambiente sia interno che esterno ben circoscritto e delimitato. Per “fondo privato” possiamo, per esempio, fare riferimento a uffici, capannoni industriali, abitazioni, aree all’aperto private che non attraversano il suolo pubblico o il passaggio di pubblico dominio/demanio. Per “fondo pubblico” possiamo, per esempio, fare riferimento a tutti quei luoghi appartenenti allo Stato o alle amministrazioni centrali e locali quali strade, autostrade, strade ferrate, spiagge, porti, fiumi etc.

E’ comunque necessario fare 2 specifiche distinzioni:

DSL-524T ADSL Router Manual

Introduction

This section provides a brief description of the Router, its associated technologies and a list of Router 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. For ADSL services, it is not necessary to install expensive new cabling or condition the line in any way. 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.

Router Description and Operation

The DSL-524T 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-524T 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-524T 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.

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 Systems

The DSL-524T 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.

DSL-524T ADSL Router Manual

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 Mozilla, Firefox, 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.

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 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 modems, 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.

About Bridged Ethernet Connections (RFC 1483)

Using this method, the DSL-524T acts as a transparent bridge, and is invisible to other devices on both the WAN and LAN side of the bridge. It is therefore necessary to provide some means of acquiring global IP settings for your account. 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, server or 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.

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.

ACCOUNT INFORMATION (PPP Connections Only) User Name: Password:

DSL-524T ADSL Router Manual

Hardware Installation

The DSL-524T functions on two separate networks, as an Ethernet LAN and as an ADSL WAN. When deciding where to put the Router, the user must take into account the fact that it is connected to these three networks with three types of media. Ethernet cables connect the Router to computers and network devices, and the ADSL line connects it to a wall socket. In addition, the device must be near an AC outlet for power. How to accommodate these wired connections is often not a complicated matter, however, the added dimension of wireless communication does complicate the decision of Router placement.

Location

The Router can be placed on a shelf or desktop and ideally you should be able to see the LED indicators on the front if you need to view them for troubleshooting.

Network Connection

Complete the connection to the network through the ADSL port and the Ethernet port on the back of the Router.

Connect ADSL Line

Use the ADSL cable included with the Router to connect it to a telephone wall socket. 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. It is the physical link to the ISP’s network backbone and ultimately to the Internet.

Connect Router to Ethernet

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 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 straight-through cable when connecting it to an uplink (MDI-II) port on a hub or switch.

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

ort on the switch or hub for another device, connect to any on the other MDI-X ports (1x, 2x, etc.) with a crossed cable.

Computer to Router Connection

You can connect the Router directly to a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet adapter card (NIC) installed on a PC using the Ethernet cable provided as shown in this diagram.

DSL-524T ADSL Router Manual

Power On Router

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 you have the Router connected to your network you can look at the Ethernet Link/Act LED indicators to make sure they have valid connections. The Router will attempt to establish the ADSL connection, if the ADSL line is connected and the connection is properly configured this should light up after several seconds.

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 push down the reset button. Remember that this will wipe out any settings stored in flash memory including IP settings. The factory default IP address of the Router is 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

DSL-524T ADSL Router Manual

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 to make changes to the Router configuration including the IP settings. 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. This chapter discusses the steps to first establish the WAN connection. The remaining features, not directly concerned with establishing the initial connection, are explained in Chapter 4, Web-based Management. It is recommended that you install and configure the Router using one non-networked computer. This allows you to verify that the ADSL service is functioning and that you are able to communicate with the device. Once the initial ADSL connection is established, you can proceed to build an Ethernet LAN around the device or incorporate it into an existing LAN.

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 HTMLbased 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 of the computer. 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 your 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.

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, 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, configure the system to be a DHCP client.

Note: 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, go to Settings and choose Control Panel.

2. In the Control Panel window, double-click on the Internet Options icon.

3. Click the Connections tab and click on the LAN Settings button.

4. Verify that the “Use proxy server” 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.

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. Once entered, the user will be prompted to enter the username and password to access the Configuration Manager, as show below. A new window will appear and you will be prompted for a user name and password to access the web-based manager. Use the default user name “admin” and password “admin” for first time setup. You should change the web-based manager access user name and password once you have verified that a connection can be established. The user name and password allows any PC within the same subnet as the Router to access the web-based manger.

NOTE: Do not confuse the user name and password used to access the web-based manager with the ADSL account user name and password needed for PPP connections to access the service provider’s network.

When the Router is used to provide Internet access it actually must first access your service provider’s network, that is, it must communicate with computers and other modems owned by your service provider. These computers and modems then provide access to the Internet. The Router must be configured to communicate with the systems that give it access to the larger network. The quickest way for you to connect to the Internet is by using the Setup Wizard. Click the Run Wizard button the following window will appear:

Step 2: Setting the ADSL Connection

Step 2 involves choosing the correct connection type mode for your modem. There are different methods or protocols used to make this communication possible, and both ends of the communication (you and your ISP) must agree on what method to use and how to set up the connection. This is what you want to configure the Router to do, to agree with the service provider’s equipment and negotiate the terms of the connection using a language or protocol that both sides understand. This window offers six connection types for the user to choose from. The choice will depend on information provided to you by your ISP. Options available on the DSL524T are Dynamic IP Address, Static IP

Address, PPPoE/PPPoA and Bridge Mode. Simply click the corresponding radio

button and click Next to go on to the configuration window for that choice.

Step 2.1: Bridge Mode

Bridge Mode is for users who have software

on their computer or other network device to accept the connection from your ISP. You may change the PVC (Permanent Virtual Channel) settings, which are defined by two numbers, the VPI (Virtual Path Indicator) and the VCI (Virtual Channel Indicator). These two values should be provided to you by your ISP. In most cases, the default settings are correct and need not be altered. The second setting is the Connection Type, selected by using the pull-down menu. The two choices available to the user here are 1483 Bridged IP LLC and 1483 Bridged IP Vc-Mux, and this correct choice should also be provided to you by your ISP. After setting the values listed, click the Next button to go to Step 3 of the Configuration Wizard.

Step 2.2: Static IP Address

The following window is used to set the Static IP mode for the Router. A Static IP address is used whenever a known static IP is assigned. The accompanying information such as the Subnet mask, ISP Gateway Address and DNS servers should also be specified in order to be able to connect. These are the servers would enable you to have access to other web servers. Valid IP addresses range from

1.0.0.1 to 255.255.255.255. To configure the connection for Static, perform the steps listed below. Some of the settings do not need to be changed the first time the device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose. After setting the values listed, click the Next button to go to Step 3 of the Configuration Wizard.

VPI/VCI

If you are told to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the values given to you by your service provider. Many users will be able to use the default settings.

IP Address Subnet Mask ISP Gateway

Address Primary DNS

Address

Secondary DNS Address

Connection Type

Enter the IP address based on the information provided to you by your ISP. Enter the Subnet Mask based on the information provided to you by your ISP. Enter the Default Gateway based on the information provided to you by your ISP.

This entry is for the IP address of your primary domain name server, which should also be provided to you by your ISP. The router will first try the Primary DNS Address to resolve a website’s URL IP address. If this IP address fails, the router will then try the Secondary DNS Address.

The IP address of the secondary domain name server will be used to resolve a website’s URL IP address if the Primary DNS Address fails. The information in this field should also be provided by your ISP.

There are four Connection Types set in the router to be chosen by using the pull down menu and they are 1483 Bridged IP LLC, 1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux, 1483 Routed IP LLC, 1483 Routed IP VC-Mux and IPoA. The correct choice should be told to you by your ISP.
