Features

PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) Security – The Router supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) for PPP connections. The Router also supports MSCHAP.

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 the network topology occur.

Network Address Translation (NAT) – For small office environments, the Router 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 (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) – The Router supports the TCP/IP protocol, the language used for the Internet. It is compatible with access servers manufactured by major vendors.

RIP-1/RIP-2The Router supports both RIP-1 and RIP-2 exchanges with other routers. Using both versions allows 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”. Create a static route 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 to a specific destination 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 Router 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.

Telnet Connection – Telnet enables a network manager to access the Router’s management software remotely.

Easy Installation – The Router 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.

Section 2 – Installation

Installation

This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the Router is very important. Do not place the Router in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet or in the attic or garage.

Before You Begin

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.

D-Link DSL-526B User Manual

Section 2 – Installation

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 a standard telephone cable. Ask your service provider for more information about the use of low pass filters with your installation.

Operating Systems

The DSL-526B 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, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.

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 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, which requires your computer be equipped with an Ethernet port. 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. 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 need to install an adapter, follow the installation instructions that come with the Ethernet NIC adapter.

Section 2 – Installation

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 as 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 PPPoE or PPPoA 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.

If you plan to use the DSL-526B’s USB port to connect to your

computer, do not connect the USB cable to the Router until you

Note have finished all of the steps to install the USB driver, and your computer has restarted.

Information you will need from your ADSL service provider

Username

This is the Username used to log on to your ADSL service provider’s network. Your ADSL service provider uses this to identify your account.

Password

This is the Password used, in conjunction with the Username above, to log on to your ADSL service provider’s network. This is used to verify the identity of your account.

WAN Setting / Connection Type

These settings describe the method your ADSL service provider uses to transport data between the Internet and your computer. Most users will use the default settings. You may need to specify one of the following WAN Setting and Connection Type configurations (Connection Type settings listed in parenthesis):

PPPoE/PPPoA (PPPoE LLC, PPPoA LLC or PPPoA VC-Mux)

Bridge Mode (1483 Bridged IP LLC or 1483 Bridged IP VC Mux)

IPoA/MER (Static IP Address) (Bridged IP LLC, 1483 Bridged IP VC Mux, 1483 Routed IP LLC, 1483 Routed IP VC-Mux or IPoA)

MER (Dynamic IP Address) (1483 Bridged IP LLC or 1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux)

Modulation Type

ADSL uses various standardized modulation techniques to transmit data over the allotted signal frequencies. Some users may need to change the type of modulation used for their service. The default DSL modulation (ADSL2+ Multi-Mode) used for the Router automatically detects all types of

ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+ modulation.

Security Protocol

This is the method your ADSL service provider will use to verify your Username and Password when you log on to their network. Your Router supports the PAP and CHAP protocols.

VPI

Most users will not be required to change this setting. The Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) is used in conjunction with the Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) to identify the data path between your ADSL service provider’s network and your computer. If you are setting up the Router for multiple virtual connections, you will need to configure the VPI and VCI as instructed by your ADSL service provider for the additional connections. This setting can be changed in the WAN Settings window of the web management interface.

Section 2 – Installation

Network Connections

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 the instructions 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 higher than 10Mbps, be sure that the device has auto-negotiation (NWay) enabled for the connecting port. Use standard twisted-pair cabling 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. If you wish to reserve the uplink port on the switch or hub for another device, connect to any of the other MDI-X ports (1x, 2x, etc.) with a crossed cable.

Computer to Router Connection

You can either connect the Router’s Ethernet interface directly to a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet adapter card (NIC) installed in a PC using the

Ethernet cable provided or connect the Router to a spare USB port using the Router’s USB interface.
