DSL-560I ADSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide

About This User’s Guide

This user’s guide provides instructions on how to install the DSL-560I ADSL Router and use it to connect a
computer or Ethernet LAN to the Internet.

If you are using a computer with a functioning Ethernet port, you can use the Quick Installation Guide to quickly
establish your ADSL connection and access the Internet.

Guide Overview

Introduction – Describes the Router and its key features. Provides an introduction to ADSL. Lists
standards to which the Router complies. Contains a packing list.

Hardware Installation – Discusses how to connect the Router to an Ethernet LAN.
Configuring the Router for the First Time – Provides information on how to configure the Router and

establish the WAN connection using the web-based manager.
Web-based Configuration – Describes how to use the web-based manager to change Router settings and

configure additional virtual connections (PVCs).
Appendix A - Technical Specifications – Lists the technical specifications of the Router, including

standards compliance.
Appendix B - Low Pass Filters – Illustrated examples of how to use low pass filters.

Before You Start

Please read and make sure you understand all the prerequisites for proper installation of your new Modem. 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 th e 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. This information is stored in th e
Router’s memory and used to establish the WAN 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.

DSL-560I ADSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide

Operating System

The DSL-560I uses a 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 by accessing its 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.

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. Nowadays, most notebook computers ar e alread y sold with the installed Ethernet adap ter. Likewise,
most fully assembled desktop computers come with an Ethernet NIC card as standard equipment. If your
computer does not have an Ethernet port, you must install an Ethernet NIC adapter before you can access 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 co mputer, not
in the Router. This type of connection is similar to the arrangement used for analog dial-up mode ms, but the
connection speed is much faster. Various terms are to describe a bridged ADSL connection including the term
“RFC 1483 Bridge” which is also 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 can be stored in the Router. In this case, it is not necessary to
install any PPP 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.

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

About Bridged Ethernet Connections (RFC 1483)

Using this method, the DSL-560I 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 conn ections, the glob al 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 in structions
about any additional connection software or NIC configuration that may be required.

viii

DSL-560I ADSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide

About IPoA Connections (RFC 1577)

IP over ATM connections may require global IP settings for the device. Your service provider will give you IP
settings information if needed. Some IPoA connections function like peer-to-peer connections and therefore do
not require IP settings on the WAN interface.

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 5 contains
instruction on how to set up additional PVCs for accounts using more than one virtual connection.

Packing List

Open the shipping carton and carefully remove all items. In addition to this User's Guide, ascertain that you have:

1. One DSL-560I ADSL Ethernet Router

2. One User’s Guide

3. One twisted-pair telephone cable used for ADSL connection

4. One straight-through Ethernet cable

5. One AC power adapter suitable for your electric service

DSL-560I ADSL Router User’s Guide

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 use expensive new cabling or
condition the line in any way.

ADSL greatly increases the signal carrying capacity of copper telephone lines withou t 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 conn ection
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-560I 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-560I 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 techno logy enables many interactive multi-media applications such as
video conferencing and collaborative computing.

The Router is easy to install and use. The DSL-560I connects to an Ethernet LAN via a standard Ethernet
100BASE-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.

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. 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.

DSL-560I ADSL Router User’s Guide

Router Features

The DSL-560I ADSL Ethernet Router utilizes the latest ADSL enhancements to provide a reliable Internet portal
suitable for most small to medium sized offices. DSL-560I advantages include:

• PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) Security The DSL-560I 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 al LAN IP

settings to each host on your n etwork. This eli minates the need to reconfigure ever y host when ever ch anges
in network topology occur.

• Network Address Translation (NAT) For small office environments, the DSL-560I 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-560I 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-560I 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 destin ation 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 a 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-560I 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.

• Full Network Management The DSL-560I 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-560I 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.

• Multiple PVC Support Up to eight PVCs can be assigned for use by the Modem. This can be useful to
ADSL clients who wish to dedicate a PVC for a specific application, LAN or server.

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, make sure to allow room to access the connections on the rear panel.

You will want to place the Router so that you will be able to see the LED indicators on the front panel. Allow
some space above the Router for ventilation to avoid problems with overheating.

It may be convenient for you by placing the Router near the PC which you intend to use for initial Router
configuration.

Connect ADSL Line

Use the standard phone cable that comes with the Router to connect it to your telephone outlet. Simply plug one
end of the cable into the Router’s ADSL port (RJ-11 receptacle) on its rear panel, and insert the other end into
the wall jack. The ADSL connection is the WAN interface. It links the Router to the network serv ice provider’s
backbone infrastructure. This is the Router’s access point to the Internet.

The Router must undergo a negotiation process to establish the terms of the ADSL connection. During this
negotiation the ADSL Link/Activity LED will flash in a steady interval, after the line is established which it will
become steadily On. When the ADSL line traffic starts, it will then begin flashing according to the traffic
activities. If the ADSL line is disconnected, the whole ADSL negotiation process will repeat itself again.

Compuer to Router Connection

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

7

DSL-560I ADSL Router User’s Guide

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 can operate at a speed of 10/100 Mbps. When connecting the
Router to any Ethernet device that is capable of operating at speeds higher than 10Mbps, be sure that the
Ethernet device has auto-negotiation (NWay) enabled for the connecting port.

Use standard CAT-5 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-throug h 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 CAT-5
networking twisted pair cable as shown in the diagram below:

If you wish to reserve
the uplink port on the
switch or hub for
another device, connect
to any on the other MDI­X ports (1x, 2x, etc.)
with a crossed cable.

Configuring the Router for the First Time

The first time you setup the Router, it is recommended that you configure the Rou ter’s WAN connection by
using a single stand-alone computer that only connects to the Router’s Ethernet port. Once the WAN port is
properly setup and its connection is fully functional, you may continue making changes to its other
configurations including the IP settings and/or its DHCP server options. This chapter will focus on how to
properly setup your Router’s 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 options.

WAN Configuration Summary

1. Connect to the Router To configure the Router’s WAN connection, it is necessary to communicate

with the Router through its management interface, which is HTML-based, and it 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’s. This is
accomplished by making sure that your computer has the correct IP settings which place it in the same
subnet as the Router’s. The easiest way to make sure your computer has the correct IP settings is to
enable your PC’s DHCP client option, and to automatically get the assigned IP addresses from the
default Router’s DHCP server operation. The next section describes how to change the IP configuration
for a computer running a Windows OS to be a DHCP client.

2. Configure the WAN Connection Once you have successfully logged-in the Router’s Web

configuration menu, you can proceed to change the settings for the ADSL connection and the Service
Provider’s signing-on process. 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 addresses 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 the standard installations. Below is an
illustrated example of how to configure a Windows XP system to automatically ob tain the IP addresses fro m the
Router. Following this example is a step-by-step description of the procedures used with other Windows
operating systems. No matter what OS you have loaded on the PC, you will need to check first to see if its
TCP/IP protocol has been installed. If the TCP/IP protocol is not installed, you will need to go through the PC’s
network protocol installation process (provided in the later session) to properly install the TCP/IP protocol. Once
the protocol has been installed you can configure the PC to receive IP addresses from the Router.

Access the Configuration Manager

Now that your computer’s IP settings allow it to communicate with the Router, you can access the configuration
software.

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, 192.168.0.1 in the address bar of the browser. The
URL in the address bar should read: http://192.168.0.1.

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 set up. 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.

Figure 4 - 1. Login to Router

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.

Configure the Router

The WAN Setup page displays the menu you need to configure the Router so it can connect to the Internet. The
WAN Setup menu is used to configure the Router’s WAN connection and also used to add other virtual
connections (PVCs). The remainder of this chapter describes how to establish this WAN connection.

17

DSL-560I ADSL Router User’s Guide

Figure 4 - 1. Configuring the WAN Connection (First Time Setup)

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 routers owned by your service provider. These computers
and routers then provide access to the Internet. The Router must be configured to communicate with the systems
that give it access to the larger network. There are different methods or protocols used to make this
communication possible, and both ends of the communication must agree on what method to use and how to set
up the connection. This is what you will 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.

Sometimes it is also necessary to configure settings that control the actual ADSL connection. The ADSL
connection is what actually carries the data from one point to the other. So in addition to telling the Router what
method it must use, you may also be asked to change the PVC (Permanent Virtual Channel) settings. These
settings are defined by two numbers, the VPI (Virtual Path Indicator) and the VCI (Virtual Channel Indicator).

All the information you need to make the changes needed for a functioning WAN connection should have been
provided to you by your ISP or network service provider.

To configure the WAN connection, open the WAN Setup menu and perform the steps listed below. Some of the
settings do not need to be changed when you first set up the device but can be changed later if you choose.

1 Do not change the VPI or VCI values unless you are required to do so. If these settings are incorrect, the

ADSL connection will not function. Many users will be able to use the default settings. If you are told to
change these, type in the values given to you by your service provider.

18

DSL-560I ADSL Router User’s Guide

2 Select the Encapsulation method used for your connection. The options available are RFC1483Bridged,

RFC1483Routed, PPPoE, and PPPoA. The default Encapsulation is RFC1483 Bridged.

3 The remaining settings that must be configured are different for the different Encapsulations.

3.1 If you have selected a PPPoE or PPPoA Encapsulation you must supply a User Name and Password

used to verify the identity of your account. Type in the User Name and Password used for your PPP
connection. Also select the Authentication method used, pap or chap, choose Enabled for Connect On
Demand and leave the Idle Time setting at 0.

3.2 If you have selected a Bridge Encapsulation, there is no more change needed to establish the WAN
connection for the Router. However, you will probably have to install some sor t of connection software
on your computer. Go to step 6 and finalize the Router configuration, then install any additional
software. Follow the instructions given to you by your ISP or network service provider.

4 Click the Add button when you have entered all the information. The web browser will briefly go blank.

After a few seconds the PVC profile listed in the Current ATM PVC List at the bottom of the web page will
show the changes that you have just configured.

Web-based Management

The DSL-560I offers a web-based (HTML) graphical user interface allowing users to manage the Router from
anywhere on the LAN using a standard browser. A web browser is used to communicate directly with the Router
and make changes to the configuration or monitor status.

Accessing the Web Manager

In order to use the web-based management software it will be necessary to use a computer that occupies the
same subnet as the Router. The simplest way to do this for many users will be to use DHCP server that is
enabled by default on the Router. Chapter 4 provides instructions on how to configure a system running
Windows operating systems to be DHCP client. You may also specify IP settings for your computer. The Router
has a default IP address of 192.168.0.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Once you have accessed the
configuration software you can configure the Router’s IP settings and DHCP server configuration to suit your
preferences.

To use the web-based management software run the browser you have installed on your computer and direct it to
the Router’s HTML interface using its LAN IP address. If this is the first time you are accessing the web-based
manager you must type its default IP address, 192.168.0.1 in the address bar of the browser. The URL in the
address bar should read: http://192.168.0.1. If you change the IP address you will use the new IP address to
access the web-based manager.

In the page that opens, click on the Login to web-based management module button.
A new window will appear and you will be prompted for a user name and password. Use default user name

admin and password admin for first time set up.

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 same menu using the Tools pull down menu in
Internet Explorer.

If this is the first time you are accessing the configuration manager and you simply want
to establish a connection to the Internet, you may want to read the section titled
Configure the Router in the previous chapter.

Configuring the WAN Connection

Use the WAN Setup menu to configure the WAN interface for PVC settings and other settings used to configure
the ADSL connection and the connection to the service provider’s network. Use this menu to add, change or
delete PVC connection profiles if you have a multiple PVC account.

Figure 5 - 1. WAN Configuration

The Router may be configured to use common Encapsulation and connection methods commonly used for
ADSL service. The information that is needed for the different method varies according to connection type.
Therefore the menu will change to offer different settings depending on whether the connection is a PPP or
Bridged connection type.

To configure a single PVC profile, select the Encapsulation setting first. This may change the user configurable
variables that are offered. The default Encapsulation used is RFC1483 Bridged. Table 5 - 1. WAN Connection
Configuration on the next page lists the configuration settings for the different Encapsulation types.

22

DSL-560I ADSL Router User’s Guide

In the WAN Setup menu configure the WAN interface settings described in the table below.

All connections must configure:

VPI

Type in the new VPI setting (0-255)

VCI

Type in the new VCI setting (32-65535)

Encapsulation

From the drop-down menu select RFC1483 Bridged, RFC1483 Routed,
PPPoE, PPPoA. Default=RFC1483 Bridged.

PPP Connections must configure:
Login User Name

Used for authentication by your network service provider.

Login Password

Used for authentication by your network service provider

Authentication

Protocol used to confirm the identity of the subscriber. Choose chap
(default) or pap form the drop-down menu.

Idle Time

A value of 0 means that the PPP connection will remain connected. If
your network account is billed according to the amount of time the
Router is actually connected to the Internet, enter an appropriate Idle
Time value (in seconds). This will disconnect the Router after the WAN
connection has been idle for the amount of time specified. The default
value = 0.

Table 5 - 1. WAN Connection Configuration

Additional Virtual Connections (PVCs)

The Router can use up to eight simultaneous PVC connections. These additiona l connections occupy the same
bandwidth used for ADSL service. Additional PVC connections can be added to establish a pr iv ate connectio n to
remote offices or maintain a server accessible through the WAN port. Provision for additional PVC profiles must
be done through the telephone company or telecommunications services company. The remote user must have
suitable ADSL equipment for a successful connection.

Use the WAN Setup menu to add, delete or modify additional PVCs as described below.

23

DSL-560I ADSL Router User’s Guide

Figure 5 - 2. Multiple PVC Menu

In order to use additional PVCs, each profile must have a unique (to the Router) Item Name and a unique
VCI/VCI combination. You may use any available Encapsulation or connection type. Follow the instructions on
the next page to set up multiple PVCs.

To add a PVC:

1. Type in a new VPI and VCI value. This combination may not be used for another PVC profile on the

Router.

2. Select the Encapsulation method used for the new PVC.

3. For PPP connections (PPPoE or PPPoA), you must supply a new User Name and Password. You may

use the same user name/password combination for more than one PVC unless you are specifically told
not to do this by your service provider. It is recommended however that a different combination be used
whenever it is practical. Also for PPP connections, select the Authentication and Idle Time settings
(see Table 5 - 1. WAN Connection Configuration).

ADSL Mode

Displays modulation technique used for ADSL connection, G.DMT or G.lite. You can change the modulation
technique by selecting the appropriate ADSL Standard and click Apply.

Redirect Port

The Port Redirection feature of the Router is used in conjunction with NAT or IP Masquerading to improve
security and efficiency. Port redirection can be used to direct potentially hazardous packets to a proxy server
outside your firewall. For example, you can configure the Router to dir ect HTTP packets to a designated HTTP
server in the DMZ. Other common applications might include directing incoming SMTP packets to an Email
server for data scrutiny and improved netw ork efficiency.

Port Redirection can be used to redirect TCP or UDP packets to a specified port and a specified IP address on
your local network. You can define a set of instructions for a specific incoming port or for a range of incoming
ports. Each instruction set or rule is indexed and can be modified or deleted later as needed.

33

DSL-560I ADSL Router User’s Guide

NAT

Network Address Translation (NAT) is a routing protocol that allows your network to become a private network
that is isolated from, yet connected to the Internet. It does this by changing the IP address of packets from a
global IP address usable on the Internet to a local IP address usable on your private network (but not on the
Internet) and vice-versa. The Router allows up to 128 host IP addresses.

NAT has two major benefits. First, NAT allows many users to access the Internet using a single global IP
address. This can greatly reduce the costs associated with Internet access and helps alleviate the current shortage
of Internet IP addresses. Secondly, the NAT process creates an added degree of security by hiding your private
network behind one IP address. The NAT function will normally only allow incoming packets that are generated
in response to a request from a host within the LAN.

If your network uses web servers, FTP servers or other proxies used for data requests from outside the private
network, you can use NAT in conjunction with Port Redirection to allow appropriate use of your servers by
outside users. See the section on Port Redirection for more information.

For the purposes of network administration, NAT is almost indispensable. Hosts and servers on the internal
network can be moved easily. Using NAT together with DHCP can greatly reduce the workload of a network
manager while allowing tremendous flexibility.

LAN IP Setup

The DSL-560I is designed to provide network administrators maximum flexibility for IP addressing on the
Ethernet LAN. The easiest IP setup choice in most cases is to let the Router do it using DHCP, which is enabled
by default. This appendix briefly describes various op tions including DHCP, used for IP setup on a LAN. If you
are new to IP networking, the next appendix provides some background information on basic IP concepts.

Assigning Network IP Addresses

The IP address setting s, which in clud e the IP ad dres s, subne t mask and gatew ay IP add ress ar e the f irs t and mos t
important internal network settings that need to be configured. The Router is assigned a default LAN IP address
and subnet mask. If you do not have a preexisting IP network and are setting one up now, using the factory
default IP address settings can greatly ease the setup process. If you already have a preexisting IP network, you
can adjust the IP settings for the Router to fit within your existing scheme.

Using the Default IP Address

The Router is shipped with a preset default IP address setting of 192.168.0.1 for the LAN port. There are two
ways to use this default IP address, you can manually assign an IP address and subnet mask for each PC on the
LAN or you can instruct the Router to automatically assign them using DHCP. The simplest method is to use
DHCP. The DHCP function is active by default.

Manual IP Address Assignment

Manually configuring IP settings for the LAN means you must manually set an IP address, subnet mask and IP
address of the default gateway (the Router’s IP address) on each networked computer. The example listed below
describes IP configuration for computers running W indows 98 or Windows 95. Regardless of what operating
system is used on each workstation, the three network IP settings must be defined so the network interface used
by each workstation can be identified by the Router, and vice versa. For detailed information about configuring
your workstations IP settings, consult the user’s guide included with the operating system or the network
interface card (NIC).

1. In Windows 95/98, click on the START button, go to Settings and choose Control Panel.

2. In the window that opens, double-click on the Network icon.

3. Under the Configuration tab, select the TCP/IP component and click Properties.

4. Choose the Specify an IP address option and edit the address settings accordingly. Consult the table below
for IP settings on a Class C network.

LAN IP Setup - Example #1

54

DSL-560I ADSL Router User’s Guide

Please note that when using the default IP address as in the above example, the first three numbers in the IP
address must always be the same with only the fourth number changing. The first three numbers define the
network IP address (all machines must belong to the same IP network), while the last number denotes the host IP
address (each computer must have a unique address to distinguish it on the network). The IP address scheme
used in Example #1 can be used for any LAN that requires up to 253 separate IP addresses (excluding the
Router). Notice that the subnet mask is the same for all machines and the default gateway address is the LAN IP
address of the Router.

It is a good idea to make a note of each device’s IP address for reference during troubleshooting or when adding
new stations or devices.

Using DHCP

The second way to use the default settings is to allow the Router to automatically assign IP settings for
workstation using DHCP. To do this, simply make sure your computers’ IP addresses are set to 0.0.0.0 (under
Windows, choose the option Obtain an IP address automatically in the TCP/IP network component described
above). When the computers are restarted, their IP settings will automatically be assigned by the Router. The
Router is set by default to use DHCP. See the discussion in Chapter 5 for information on how to use configure
the Router for DHCP.

Changing the IP Address of the Router

When planning your LAN IP address setup, you may use any scheme allowed by rules that govern IP assignment.
It may be more convenient or easier to remember an IP scheme that use a different address for the Router. Or
you may be installing the Router on a network that has already established the IP settings. Changing the IP
address is a simple matter and can be done using the web manager (see LAN IP Address in Chapter 5). If you are
incorporating the Router into a LAN with an existing IP structure, be sure to disable the DHCP function. Also,
consider the effects of the NAT function which is enable by default.

An IP addressing scheme commonly used for Ethernet LANs establishes 10.0.0.1 as the base address for the
network. Using Example #2 below, the Router is assigned the base address 10.0.0.1 and the remaining addresses
are assigned manually or using DHCP.

LAN IP Setup - Example #2

These two examples are only examples you can use to help you get started. If you are interested in more
advanced information on how to use IP addressing on a LAN there are numerous resources freely available on
the Internet. There are also many books and chapters of books on the subject of IP address assignment, IP
networking and the TCP/IP protocol suite.

IP Concepts

This appendix describes some basic IP concepts, the TCP/IP addressing scheme and show how to assign IP
Addresses.

When setting up the Router, you must make sure it has a valid IP address. Even if you will not use the WAN port
(ADSL port), you should, at the very least, make sure the Ethernet LAN port is assigned a valid IP address. This
is required for telnet, in-band SNMP management, and related functions such as “trap” handling and TFTP
firmware download.

IP Addresses

The Internet Protocol (IP) was designed for routing data between network sites all over the world, and was later
adapted for routing data between networks within any site (often referred to as “subnetworks” or “subnets”). IP
includes a system by which a unique number can be assigned to each of the millions of networks and each of the
computers on those networks. Such a number is called an IP address.

To make IP addresses easy to understand, the originators of IP adopted a system of representation called “dotted
decimal” or “dotted quad” notation. Below are examples of IP addresses written in this format:

201.202.203.204 189.21.241.56 125.87.0.1

Each of the four values in an IP address is the ordinary decimal (base 10) representation of a value that a
computer can handle using eight “bits” (binary digits — 1s and 0s). The dots are simply convenient visual
separators.

Zeros are often used as placeholders in dotted decimal notation; 189.21.241.56 can therefore also appear as

189.021.241.056.

IP networks are divided into three classes on the basis of size. A full IP address contains a network portion and a
“host” (device) portion. The network and host portions of the address are different lengths for different classes of
networks, as shown in the table below.

56

DSL-560I ADSL Router User’s Guide

Networks attached to the Internet are assigned class types that determine the maximum number of possible hosts
per network. The previous figure illustrates how the net and host portions of the IP address differ among the
three classes. Class A is assigned to networks that have more than 65,535 hosts; Class B is for networks that
have 256 to 65534 hosts; Class C is for networks with less than 256 hosts.

IP Network Classes

Class Maximum Number

of Networks in

Class

Network Addresses (Host

Portion in Parenthesis)

Maximum Number of

Hosts per Network

A 126 1(.0.0.0) to 126(.0.0.0) 16,777,214
B 16,382 128.1(.0.0) to 191.254(.0.0) 65,534
C 2,097,150 192.0.1(.0) to 223.255.254(.0) 254

Note: All network addresses outside of these ranges (Class D and E) are either reserved or set aside for
experimental networks or multicasting.

When an IP address's host portion contains only zero(s), the address identifies a network and not a host. No
physical device may be given such an address.

The network portion must start with a value from 1 to 126 or from 128 to 223. Any other value(s) in the network
portion may be from 0 to 255, except that in class B the network addresses 128.0.0.0 and 191.255.0.0 are
reserved, and in class C the network addresses 192.0.0.0 and 223.25 5.255.0 are reserved.

The value(s) in the host portion of a physical device's IP address can be in the range of 0 through 255 as long as
this portion is not all-0 or all-255. Values outside the range of 0 to 255 can never appear in an IP address (0 to
255 is the full range of integer values that can be expressed with eight bits).

The network portion must be the same for all the IP devices on a discrete physical network (a single Ethernet
LAN, for example, or a WAN link). The host portion must be different for each IP device — or, to be more
precise, each IP-capable port or interface — connected directly to that network.

The network portion of an IP address will be referred to in this manual as a network number; the host portion
will be referred to as a host number.

To connect to the Internet or to any private IP network that uses an Internet-assigned network number, you must
obtain a registered IP network number from an Internet-authorized network information center. In many
countries you must apply through a government agency, however they can usually be obtained from your
Internet Service Provider (ISP).

If your organization's networks are, and will always remain, a closed system with no connection to the Internet
or to any other IP network, you can choose your own network numbers as long as they conform to the above
rules.

If your networks are isolated from the Internet, e.g. only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP
Addresses to hosts without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved
the following three blocks of IP Addresses specifically for private (stub) networks:

Class Beginning Address Ending Address

A 10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255
B 172.16.0.0 172.31.255.255

C 192.168.0.0 192.168.255.255

57

DSL-560I ADSL Router User’s Guide

It is recommended that you choose private network IP Addresses from the above list. For
more information on address assignment, refer to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private
Internets and RFC 1466, Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space.

Subnet Mask

In the absence of subnetworks , standard TCP/IP addressing may be used by specifying subnet masks as shown
below.

IP Class Subnet Mask

Class A 255.0.0.0
Class B 255.255.0.0
Class C 255.255.255.0

Subnet mask settings other than those listed above add significance to the interpretation of bits in the IP address.
The bits of the subnet mask correspond directly to the bits of the IP address. An y bit an a subnet mask that is to
correspond to a net ID bit in the IP address must be set to 1.

Microfilters and Splitters

Most ADSL clients will be required to install a simple device that prevents the ADSL line from interfering with
regular telephone services. These devices are commonly referred to as microfilters or sometimes called
(inaccurately) line splitters. They are easy to install and use standard telephone connectors and cable.

Some ADSL service providers will send a telecommunications technician to modify the telephone line, usually
at the point where the telephone line enters the building. If a technician has divided or split your telephone line
into two separate lines - one for regular telephone service and the other for ADSL – then you do not need to use
any type of filter device. Follow the instructions given to you by your ADSL service prov ider about where and
how you should connect the Modem to the ADSL line.

Microfilters

Unless you are instructed to use a “line splitter” (see below), it will be necessary to install a microfilter (low pass
filter) device for each telephone or telephone device (answering machines, Faxes etc.) that share the line with the
ADSL service. Microfilters are easy-to-install, in-line devices, which attach to the telephone cable between the
telephone and wall jack. Microfilters that install behind the wall plate are also available. A typical in-line
microfilter installation is shown in the diagram below.

Microfilter Installation

Important: Do not install the microfilter between the Modem and the telephone jack. Microfilters are only
intended for use with regular telephones, Fax machines and other regular telephone devices.

59

DSL-560I ADSL Router User’s Guide

Line Splitter

If you are instructed to use a “line splitter”, you must install the device between the Modem and the phone jack.
Use standard telephone cable with standard RJ-11 connectors. The splitter has three RJ-11 ports used to connect
to the wall jack, the Modem and if desired, a telephone or telephone device. The connection ports are typically
labeled as follows:

Line - This port connects to the wall jack.
ADSL – This port connects to the Modem.
Phone – This port connects to a telephone or other telephone device.

The diagram below illustrates the proper use of the splitter.
