DSL-G604T Generation II ADSL2+ Wireless Modem Router
About This User Guide
This user’s guide provides instructions on how to install the DSL-G604T ADSL 2+ Router and use it to provide
Internet access for an Ethernet/Wireless network or single computer.
If you are using a computer with a functioning Ethernet port, the quickest and easiest way to set up the DSLG604T is to follow the instructions provided in the Quick Installation Guide (QIG).
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.
3. Check the IP settings on your computer and change them if necessary so the computer can access the webbased software built into the Router.
4. Use the web-based management software to configure the device to suit the requirements of your AD SL
service and requirements of your local network.
Setup Wizard
Many users will be able to configure all the settings necessary to use the DSL-G604T with the Setup Wizard. For
ADSL connections that use PPPoE or PPPoA connections, the simplest way to set up the DSL-G604T is to use
the Setup Wizard to configure the Internet connection. Once you access the web interface used to configure the
device, just launch the Setup Wizard to configure your Internet connection.

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-G604T 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, incl uding Windows 98
SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. The D-Link Click’n Connect Utility will only work with a
Windows operating system.
Web Browser
Any common web browser can be used to configure the Router using the web configuration management
software. The program is designed to work best with more recently released browsers such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer® version 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.
Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter)
Any computer that uses the Router must be able to connect to it through the Ethernet 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, 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.

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-G604T Wireless ADSL2+ Router is designed to provide connectivity for your private Ethernet LAN, and
802.11g/802.11b wireless LAN to the Internet via an ADSL connection.
The Router is easy to install and use. Standard Ethernet ports are used to connect to computer or other
Ethernet devices. The 802.11g wireless interface provides connectivity to 802.11g or 802.11b wireless devices.
802.11g Wireless
The embedded 802.11g wireless access point provides Internet access and connectivity to the Ethernet for
802.11g and 802.11b wireless workstations. IEEE 802.11g is fully compatible with IEEE 802.11b wireless
devices. The 802.11g standard supports data transfer rates of up to 54 M bps. The wirel ess Router supports 64bit and 128-bit WEP encryption, WiFi Protected Access (WPA) and WPA2.
ADSL
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a broadband network technology that utilises 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.
ADSL2/2+ provides a dedicated service over a single telephone line operating at speeds of up to 24Mbps
downstream and up to 1Mbps 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 framin g, data format, and
upper layer protocols.

Router Features
The DSL-G604T ADSL 2+ Router utilises the latest ADSL enhancements to provide a reliable Internet portal
suitable for most small to medium sized offices. DSL-G604T advantages include:
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) Security – The DSL-G604T ADSL 2+ 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-G604T 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-G604T 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-G604T 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-G604T 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-G604T 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-G604T 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.

802.11g Wireless
In order to get the best performance from the wireless component of the Router, you should have some basic
understanding of how wireless networks operate. There are more factors to consider when setting up or
designing a wireless network than designing a wired network. If you are setting up a wireless network,
especially if you are using multiple access points and/or covering a large area, good planning from the outset
can ensure the best possible reliability, performance, coverage and effective security.
Radio Transmission
Wireless local network (also called WI-FI) devices such as notebook computers and wirel ess access points use
electromagnetic waves within a broad, unlicensed range of the radio spectrum (between 2.4GHz and 2. 5GHz) to
transmit and receive radio signals. A wireless access point (AP) becomes a base station for the wireless node s
(a notebook computer for example) in its broadcast range. Often a wireless access point such as the AP
embedded in the DSL-G604T will also provide a connection to a wired network - usually Ethernet - and
ultimately an Internet connection. The IEEE 802.11 standard precisely defines the encoding techniques used for
data transmission. The DSL-G604T can be used by IEEE 802.11g and 802.11b devices. These two standards are
compatible but use different encoding methods for data transmission.
802.11g uses a method called Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) for transmitting data at
higher data rates. OFDM is a more efficient encoding method than Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
transmission, the method used by 802.11b devices. However, in order to support different data transmission
rates while maintaining compatibility with 802.11b - 802.11g uses a combination of OFDM and DSSS when
802.11b devices are present.
Range
An access point will send and receive signals within a limited range. The actual effective range of the AP can
vary depending on operating conditions. Radio signals are emitted in all directions giving the access point a
spherical range. The physical environment in which the AP is operating can impact on its effectiveness and
range. If you experience low signal strength or slow throughput, consider positioning the Router in a different
location. See Installation Considerations below concerning the wireless environment and location of the AP
(DSL-G604T).
SSID
Wireless networks use an SSID (Service Set Identifier) as means of identifying a group of wireless devices,
similar to a domain or subnet. This allows wireless devices to roam from one AP to another and remain
connected. Wireless devices that wish to communicate with each other must use the same SSID. Several
access points can be set up using the same SSID so that wireless stations can move from one location to
another without losing connection to the wireless network.
The embedded wireless access point of the Router operates in Infrastructure mode. It controls network access
on the wireless interface in its broadcast area. It will allow access to the wireless network to devi ces using the
correct SSID after a negotiation process takes place. By default, the DSL-G604T broadcasts its SSID so that
any wireless station in range can learn the SSID and ask permission to associate with it. Many wireless
adapters are able to survey or scan the wireless environment for access points. An access point in
Infrastructure mode allows wireless devices to survey that network and select an access point with which to
associate. You may disable SSID broadcasting in the web manager’s wireless menu.
Channel
The AP can operate on different channels (frequency bands). This is useful when multiple APs are used in order
to avoid unwanted overlap or interference between control zones of separate APs. Wireless nodes must use the
same SSID and the same channel as the AP with which it will associate. However, using the same channel on
two different APs can contribute wireless congestion under certain circumstances. If you are using multiple APs
on your network and are experiencing low throughput or significant transmission delay, carefully consider how
channels are assigned to the different APs.
Wireless Security
Various security options are available on the Router including open or WEP, WPA and WPA2.

DSL-G604T Generation II ADSL2+ Wireless Modem Router
Installation Considerations
Many physical environmental factors can impact wireless networks. Radio waves are used to carry the encoded
data between devices. These radio transmissions can become degraded due to signal attenuation, multi-path
distortion and interference or noise. Attenuation simply means that the strength of the signal weakens with the
distance it travels, even if the transmission path is unobstructed. Multi-path distortion occurs when radio
signals bounce off objects like walls, ceilings, metal appliances, etc. This may cause a signal to be duplicated,
with each separate yet identical signal arriving at a receiver at different times. Interference and noise from
electrical devices such as microwave ovens, fluorescent lights, automobile engines and other radio emitting
devices can cause signal degradation. With all of this in mind, choose a location for all your access points
including the DSL-G604T.
The access point 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.
Wireless networking lets you access your network from nearly anywhere you want. However, the number of
walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through can limit signal range. Typical
ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF noise in your home or busi ness. To range
and signal strength, use these basic guidelines:
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DSL-G604T and other network devices to a minimum - each
wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link wireless product’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 metres.) Position your
devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimised.
Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5 metres), at a 45-degree
angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 metre) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 metres) thick!
Please position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for
better reception.
Materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on
range. Try to position wireless devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through
drywall or open doorways and not dense, especially metallic, materials. Also, note that metal filing cabinets and
appliances can reflect radio signals. When these metal objects are moved around, your wi reless network may
be affected.
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 metres) from electrical devices or appliances that generate
extreme RF noise such as microwave ovens, CRT monitors, motors, etc.

DSL-G604T Generation II ADSL2+ Wireless Modem Router
Front Panel Display
Place the Router in a location that permits an easy view of the LED indicators on the front panel.
The LED indicators on the front panel include Power, Status, ADS L, WLAN and Ethernet. The ADSL, WLAN
and Ethernet indicators monitor link status and activity (Link/Act).
Power Steady green light indicates the unit is powered on. When the device is powered off this
remains dark.
Status Lights steady green during power on self-test (POST). Once the connection status has been
settled, the light will blink green. If the indicator lights steady green after the POST, the
system has failed and the device should be rebooted.
ADSL (Link/Act) Steady green light indicates a valid ADSL connection. This will light after the ADSL
negotiation process has been settled. A blinking green light indicates activity on the WAN
(ADSL) interface.

Rear Panel Connections
All cable connections to the Router are made at the rear panel. Connect the power adapter here to power on
the Router. Use the Reset button to restore the settings to the factory default values in the next chapter for
instructions on using the reset button).
Connect network cables:
1. Insert the ADSL (telephone) cable included with the Router into the ADSL port and then connect the cable
to your telephone line.
2. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet (LAN) port on the back panel of the Router and th e
other end of the cable to an Ethernet Adapter or available Ethernet port on your computer.

Hardware Installation
The DSL-G604T maintains two separate physical interfaces, an ADSL and an Ethernet 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 DC 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 on the right side
panel (see illustration on page 14) 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 10.1.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the default management Username
is “admin” and the default Password is “admin.”
Page 15 of 110 www.dlink.com.au
DSL-G604T Generation II ADSL2+ Wireless Modem Router
Network Connections
Network connections are provided through the ADSL port and Ethernet port on the back of the Router. See the
Rear Panel diagram above and the illustrations below for examples.
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 metres.

Now select the Connection Type used for the Internet connection. Your ISP has given this information to you.
The connection types available for “Multi-User” Mode are PPPoE/PPPoA, Dynamic IP Address, Static IP
Address, and Bridge Mode. Each connection type has different settings that are configured in the next Setup
Wizard pop-up window.
Select the Connection Type specific to your service and click Next to go to the next Setup Wizard pop-up
window. Follow the instructions below for the type of connection you have selected.
Page 22 of 110 www.dlink.com.au
DSL-G604T Generation II ADSL2+ Wireless Modem Router
Using the Setup Wizard - For PPPoE/PPPoA connections:
1. Type in the Username and Password used to identify and verify your account to the ISP.
2. Select the specific Connection Type from the drop-down menu. The available PPP connection and
encapsulation types are PPPoE LLC, PPPoA LLC and PPPoA VC-Mux.
3. If you are instructed to change the VPI or VCI number, type in the correct setting in the available entry
fields. Most users will not need to change these settings. The Internet connecti on cannot function if these
values are incorrect.
4. Click Next to go to the next window and complete the Setup Wizard.
Page 23 of 110 www.dlink.com.au
DSL-G604T Generation II ADSL2+ Wireless Modem Router
Using the Setup Wizard - For Dynamic IP Address connections:
1. Select the specific Connection Type from the drop-down menu. The available Dynamic IP Address
connection and encapsulation types are 1483 Bridged IP LLC and 1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux.

values are incorrect.
3. You may want to copy the MAC address of your Ethernet adapter to the Router. Some ISPs record the
unique MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter when you first access their network. This can
prevent the Router (which has a different MAC address) from being allowed access to the ISPs network
(and the Internet). To clone the MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter, type in the MAC address
in the Cloned MAC Address field and click the Clone MAC Address button. This will copy the information to
a file used by the Router to present to the ISP’s server used for DHCP.
4. Click Next to go to the next pop-up window and complete the Setup Wizard.

Wireless Security
In the Wireless Settings window, select the type of security you want to configure. The window will change to
present the settings specific to the method being configured. The Router’s wireless security options include
three levels of WEP encryption, WPA for IEEE 802.1x network authentication, and WPA with a user-configured
Pre Shared Key (PSK).
WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Protocol) encryption can be enabled for security and privacy. WEP encrypts the data
portion of each frame transmitted from the wireless adapter using one of the predefined keys. The router offers
64-, 128-, or 256-bit encryption with four keys available.
To bring up the Wireless Settings window for WEP, click the WEP radio button.
Wireless Settings menu – WEP
1. Make sure the Enable AP checkbox at the top of the window has been checked.
2. Click the Enable WEP Wireless Security checkbox.
3. From the drop-down menu, select an Authentication Type: Open, Shared, or Both.
4. Select a key by clicking a radio button on the left, select an encryption level from the drop-down menu on
the right, and then enter the proper-length key. (Key length is outlined at the bottom of the window.)
5. Click Apply.
Notice If encryption of any kind, at any level is applied to the Wireless network, all devices on th e network
must comply with all security measures.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
Wi-Fi Protected Access was designed to provide improved data encryption, perceived as weak in WEP, and to
provide user authentication, largely nonexistent in WEP. There are two versions of WPA, both are supported by
the Access Point. WPA includes the option of using a Pre-Shared Key similar to WEP, or a RADIUS server can be
used for varification.
Wireless Settings menu – WPA
1. Make sure the Enable AP checkbox at the top of the window has been checked.
2. Click to select the WPA radio button.
3. In the Group Key Interval entry field, enter a Time (in seconds) after which the Group Key is changed
automatically.
4. Select either Radius Server or Pre-Shared Key depending on the varification you are using for the
Wireless network.
5. If you are using a Radius Server for authentication, select the Radius Server button and enter the server
IP Address of the RADIUS server, a Port number (or accept the default), and a “Shared” Secret (1-63
characters).
6. If you are using a Pre-Shared Key, type an alphanumeric value of 1-63 characters in length used for
authentication.
7. Click Apply.

802.1x
Some network-security experts now recommend that wireless networks use 802.1X security measures to
overcome some weaknesses in standard WEP applications. A RADIUS server is used to authenticate all potential
users. Configure the following:
Server IP Address: Enter the IP address of the Radius server.
Port: Enter a port number, or accept the default.
Secret: Enter a password (1-63 character).
Group Key Interval: Time (in seconds) after which the Group Key is changed automatically (1-99999).

3. Under the PPPoE/PPPoA heading, type the User Name and Password used for your ADSL account. A
typical User Name will be in the form user1234@isp.com.au. The Password may be assigned to you by your
ISP or you may have selected it when you set up the account with your ISP.
4. Choose the correct Authentication Type from the drop-down menu. Most users will want to leave the
setting on Auto. PAP and CHAP are the other two opti ons. The Auto setting will automatically detect the
correct type of authentication.
5. Choose the Connection Type from the pull-down menu located under the User Name and Password entry
fields. This defines both the connection protocol and encapsulation method used for your ADSL service. The
available options are PPPoA VC-Mux, PPPoA LLC and PPPoE LLC. If have not been provided specific
information for the Connection Type setting, leave the default setting.
6. Leave the MTU value at the default setting (default = 1400) unless you have specific reasons to change
this (see table below for more information).
7. Leave the MRU value at the default setting (default = 1492) unless you have specific reasons to change
this (see table below for more information).
8. Leave the Default Route enabled if you want to use the Router as the default route to the Internet for
your LAN. Whenever a computer on the LAN attempts to access the Internet, the Router becomes the
Internet gateway to the computer. If you have an alternative route for Internet traffic you may disable this
without effecting the Router’s connection.
9. Enable PPPoE PassThrough if you want the Router to allow a “dial-up” or separate bridged PPP connection
to an individual PC (see table below for more information).
10. NAT should remain Enabled. If you disable NAT, you will not be able to use more than one computer for
Internet connections. If you are using multiple virtual connections, NAT functions system-wide, therefore if
it is disabled, NAT will be disabled on all connections.
11. The Firewall should remain enabled for most users. If you choose to disable this you will not be able to use
the features configured in the Firewall Configuration and Filters windows located in the Advanced
directory. The next chapter contains a separate section describing these Advanced features.
12. Typically the globally IP settings (i.e. IP address for the WAN i nterface) for a PPPoA or PPPoA connection
will use Dynamic IP assignment from the ISP. Some accounts may be assigned a specific global IP address.
If you have been give an IP address for you PPPoE/PPPoA connection, select the Static IP option from the
IP Control pull-down menu. This menu can be used to configure the WAN port as an Unnumbered IP
interface. (See table below for information on Unnumbered IP).
13. Choose the desired Connection Setting. Select from: Always ON, Connection On Demand, or Manual.
Most users will want to choose the default connection setting, Always ON.
14. Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is a pass-through mechanism that allows packets to pass through the
Router so that it effectively functions as a bridge. Check Enable PPTP and enter the requi red information
in the ServerIP/Name, Route Target, Route Mask, PPTP Account, PPTP Password, and MPPE
Encryption fields.
15. Most users will not need to change ATM settings. If this is the first time you are setting up the ADSL
connection it is recommended that you leave the Service Category settings at the default values until you
have established the connection. See the table on page 44 for a description of the parameters available for
ATM traffic shaping.
16. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly, click on the Apply button.
17. The new settings must be saved and the Router must be restarted for the settings to go into effect. To save
and reboot the Router, click on the Tools directory tab and then click the System button. In the System
Settings window, click the Save and Reboot button under Save Settings and Reboot the System.
18. Click OK when the following “Save and restart?” dialog box opens.
19. The Router will save the new settings and restart. Upon restarting the Router will automatically establish
the WAN connection.

Description
Parameters
User Name For PPP connections, a User Name and Password are used to identify and verify your
account to the ISP. Enter the User Name for your ADSL service account. User names and
passwords are case-sensitive, so enter this information exactly as given to you by your
ISP.
Password Together with the User Name, this is used to verify your account to the ISP. Enter the
Password exactly as given to you by your ISP.
Connection Type This specifies the protocol (PPPoE or PPPoA) and the encapsulation method (LLC or VC-
Mux) used for your connection. The options available are
VC-Mux
MTU The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be changed if you want to optimize efficiency
for uploading data through the WAN interface. The default setting (
suitable for most users. Some user may want to adjust the setting to optimize
performance for wireless traffic or when low latency is desired (such as with Internet
gaming). It is highly recommended that the user research how adjusting the MTU may
effect network traffic for better or worse.
MRU Similar to the MTU, except this applies to Maximum Received Unit size for downloading
data. Most users will be happy with the default setting (
also be optimized for fast downloads of general bulk Internet traffic, for low latency or for
downloading to computers on the Wireless LAN. As with the MTU setting, the user should
carefully consider how changing the MRU may affect Internet downloads for all systems
on your LAN.
Default Route When this is enabled, the Router will be considered to be the primary gateway to the
Internet and WAN for systems on your network. If you are using the Router on a network
with one or more alternative gateway routers, you may prefer to disable this if you will
use another router as the primary gateway.
PPPoE PassThrough This feature enables the Router to allow a “dial-up” or separate bridged PPP connection to
an individual PC. In this instance the Router will serve as a bridge.
NAT Network Address Translation may be enabled or disabled with the pull-down menu. Keep
in mind that disabling NAT allows only a single computer to be used for Internet access
through the Router. NAT is enabled and disabled for the Router on all connections (i.e.
Pvc0 – Pvc7) if your Router is set up for multiple virtual connections.
Firewall Use this to universally enable or disable the Firewall and Filter features available in the
Router. If you disable this you will not be able to configure settings in the Firewall
Configuration window or Filters window in the Advanced directory.
IP Control This is used to determine how global IP settings are handled for the WAN interface.
Typically PPPoE or PPPoA connections will use the default setting for
users will be given a specific IP address for the WAN interface. In this case you need to
change this setting to
need to type in the global IP address provided to you by your ISP. The
option is used if you want to set up a non-TCP/IP port protocol link through the WAN
interface. An IP Unnumbered interface does not have an IP address and therefore cannot
be managed via Telnet or any other TCP/IP application.
Static IP If you have selected the
address used for your WAN interface. Your ISP should provide this IP address to you.
Connection Setting Select the desired option: Always ON, Connection On Demand, or Manual. Most users will
want to choose the default connection setting, Always ON.

Dynamic IP Address
A Dynamic IP Address connection configures the Router to automatically obtain its global IP address from a
DHCP server on the ISP’s network. The service provider assigns a global IP address from a pool of addresses
available to the service provider. Typically the IP address assigned has a long lease time, so i t will likely be the
same address each time the Router requests an IP address.
To configure a Dynamic IP Address connection, 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. See the table
below for a description of all the settings available in this window.

Connection Type setting, leave the default setting.
4. Some ISPs record the unique MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter when you first access their
network. This can prevent the Router (which has a different MAC address) from being allowed access to the
ISPs network (and the Internet). To clone the MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter, type in
the MAC address in the Cloned MAC Address field and click the Clone MAC Address button.
5. Leave the MTU value at the default setting (default = 1400) unless you have specific reasons to change
this (see table below).

connection it is recommended that you leave the Service Category settings at the default values until you
have established the connection. See the table on the below page for a description of the parameters
available for ATM traffic shaping.
5. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly, click on the Apply button.
6. The new settings must be saved and the Router must be restarted for the settings to go into effect. To save
and reboot the Router, click on the Tools directory tab and then click the System button. In the System
Settings window, click the Save and Reboot button under Save Settings and Reboot the System.
7. Click OK when the following “Save and restart?” dialog box opens.
8. The Router will save the new settings and restart. Upon restarting the Router will automatically establish
the WAN connection.

The table below provides a description of the ATM settings for traffic shaping.
ATM Parameters Description
Service Category
PCR
SCR
CDVT
MBS
The ATM settings allow the user to adjust ATM Quality of Service (QoS) or traffic parameters to suit
specific traffic requirements. For applications or circumstances where packet loss or packet delay is
a concern, ATM QoS can be adjusted to minimize problems. For most accounts, it will not be
necessary to change these settings. Altering QoS settings can adversely affect performance of some
commonly used Internet applications.
If you plan to change QoS or traffic parameters, contact your ISP or network services provider for
information on what types of adjustment are available or possible for your account. Your ISP may
not support the class of service you want to use.
To adjust ATM QoS parameters, select one of the Service Categories listed here and type in the PCR
value in the entry field below. For the VBR service category, an additional parametre (SCR) must
also be defined.
UBR
– Unspecified Bit Rate, this is the default category used for general-purpose Internet traffic
where normal levels of packet loss and delay are acceptable. For some applications or for multiple
connection accounts, it may be desirable to specify the PCR.
CBR
– Constant Bit Rate, usually used in circumstances where very low packet loss and very low Cell
Delay Variable (CDV) are desirable.
VBR-nt
rates. Please note that when VBR-rt is specified, both PCR and SCR are required (by ATM
standards).
VBR-nrt
bursts of packets at variable intervals, and some moderate packet loss and delay is acceptable. This
category is typically used for audio and video applications such as teleconferencing. The network
must support QoS Class 2 to use VBR-nrt.
– Real-time Variable Bit Rate. This models bursty traffic with specified peak and sustainable
– Non-real-time Variable Bit Rate, usually used when network traffic is characterized by
Peak Cell Rate – The PCR is inversely related to the time interval between ATM cells. It is
specified for all three service categories (UBR, CBR and VBR) in Kbps.
Sustainable Cell Rate – The SCR is defined for the VBR service category. This is the rate that
can be sustained for “bursty”, on-off traffic sources. It is a function of Maximum Burst Size
(MBS) and the time interval (between cells).
Cell Delay Variation Tolerance – CDVT is a measure of the cell clumping phenomenon by which
cells are delayed in the network and are
clumped together and arrive at a system at a faster rate than negotiated.
Increasing the CDVT creates greater bucket depth.
Maximum Burst Size – The MBS is the maximum number of bytes that can be sent
continuously from the source to the destination dropping any packets. Some ATM providers set
the MBS and CDVT very low and adjust up if problems occur.

ATM VC Settings
ATM VC settings can be configured for all connection types in the WAN configuration menu of the Home
directory.
ATM VC Settings in WAN Settings menu
The table below describes the ATM VC settings used to configure a PPPoE or PPPoA connection for an ADSL
account.
ATM VC Parameters Description
PVC The Router supports using up to eight multiple virtual connections. This window allows
the user to configure WAN settings for all the available connections (see instructions
below on how to set up Multiple Virtual Connections). Use the PVC drop-down menu
to select the connection (Pvc0 to Pvc7) you want to configure. Since most users will

use only a single connection, the default setting
made to the WAN settings.
VPI The Virtual Path Identifier is used with the VCI to define a dedicated circuit on the
ATM network portion of the connection to the Internet and WAN. Most users will not
need to change this setting.
VCI The Virtual Channel Identifier is used with the VPI to define a dedicated circuit on the
ATM network portion of the connection to the Internet and WAN. Most users will not
need to change this setting.
Virtual Circuit As with the PVC setting, this is mainly for use by clients who are configuring the
Router for multiple virtual connections. Use this to enable or disable the PVC you are
currently configuring. By default, the Pvc0 is

LAN
You can configure the LAN IP address to suit your preference. Many users will find it convenient to use the
default settings together with DHCP service to manage the IP settings for their private network. The IP address
of the Router is the base address used for DHCP. In order to use the Router for DHCP on your LAN, the IP
address pool used for DHCP must be compatible with the IP address of the Router. The IP addresses available
in the DHCP IP address pool will change automatically if you change the IP address of the Router. See the next
section for information on DHCP setup.
To access the Management IP window, click the LAN button in the Home directory.
Management IP window
To change the LAN IP Address or Subnet Mask, type in the desired values and click the Apply button. Your
web browser should automatically be redirected to the new IP address. You will asked to login again to the
Router’s web manager.
Page 47 of 110 www.dlink.com.au
DSL-G604T Generation II ADSL2+ Wireless Modem Router
DHCP
The DHCP server is enabled by default for the Router’s Ethernet LAN interface. DHCP service will supply IP
settings to workstations configured to automatically obtain IP settings that are connected to the Router though
the Ethernet port. When the Router is used for DHCP it becomes the default gateway for DHCP client connected
to it. Keep in mind that if you change the IP address of the Router the range of IP addresses i n the pool used
for DHCP on the LAN will also be changed. The IP address pool can be up to 253 IP addresses.
DHCP Settings window
To display the DHCP Settings window, click the DHCP button in the Home directory. Any active DHCP Clients
appear at the bottom of the window in the DHCP Clients List. The IP address and MAC address for active DHCP
clients are displayed in the list.
The two options for DHCP service are as follows:
You may use the Router as a DHCP server for your LAN.
You can disable DHCP service and manually configure IP settings for workstations.
You may also configure DNS settings for the LAN when using the Router in DHCP mode. In Auto DNS Mode,
the Router will automatically relay DNS settings to properly configured DHCP clients. To manually enter DNS IP
addresses, select the Manual DNS Mode option and type in a Primary and Secondary DNS IP Address in the
field provided. The manually configured DNS settings will be supplied to clients that are configured to request
them from the Router.
Page 48 of 110 www.dlink.com.au
DSL-G604T Generation II ADSL2+ Wireless Modem Router
Follow the instructions below according to which of the above DHCP options you want to use. When you have
configured the DHCP Settings as you want them, click the Apply button to commit the new settings.
Use the Router for DHCP
To use the built-in DHCP server, click to select the DHCP Server option if it is not already selected. The IP
Address Pool settings can be adjusted. The Starting IP Address is the lowest available IP address (default =
10.1.1.2). If you change the IP address of the Router this will change automatically to be 1 more that the IP
address of the Router.
The Ending IP Address is the highest IP address number in the pool. Type in the Lease Time in the entry
field provided. This is the amount of time in seconds that a workstation is allowed to reserve an IP address in
the pool if the workstation is disconnected from the network or powered off.
Disable the DHCP Server
To disable DHCP, click to select the No DHCP option and click on the Apply button. Choosing this option
requires that workstations on the local network must be configured manually or use another DHCP server to
obtain IP settings.
If you configure IP settings manually, make sure to use IP addresses in the subnet of the Router. You will need
to use the Router’s IP address as the Default Gateway for the workstation in order to provide Internet access.

Dynamic DNS
The Router supports DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service). The Dynamic DNS service allows a dynamic public
IP address to be associated with a static host name in any of the many domains, allowing access to a specified
host from various locations on the Internet. This is enabled to allow remote access to a host by clicking a
hyperlinked URL in the form hostname.dyndns.org, Many ISPs assign public IP addresses using DHCP, and this
can make it difficult to locate a specific host on the LAN using standard DNS. If for example you are running a
public web server or VPN server on your LAN, this ensures that the host can be located from the Internet if the
public IP address changes. DDNS requires that an account be setup with one of the supported DDNS providers.
Dynamic DNS Configuration window
Note: DDNS requires that an account be setup with one of the supported DDNS servers prior to engaging it on
the router. This function will not work without an accepted account with a DDNS server.
Enter the required DDNS information and click Apply to set this information in the Router.
DDNS Parameters Description
DDNS Server Select one of the DDNS registration organizations form those listed in the pull-down menu.
Available servers include DynDns.org and No-IP.com.
Username (or Key) Enter the username given to you by your DDNS server.
Password (or Key) Enter the password or key given to you by your DDNS server
Host Name Enter the host name of the DDNS server.

Multiple Virtual Connections
The Router supports multiple virtual connections. Up to eight PVCs to eight separate destinations can be
created and operated simultaneously utilizing the same bandwidth. Addi tional PVC connections can be added for
various purposes. For example, you may want to establish a private connection to remote office in order to
create an extended LAN, or setup a server on a separate connection. Provisioning for additional PVC profiles
must be done through your telecommunications services provider. Extended LAN operations employing multiple
virtual connections require ADSL2+ routers or modems at the remote site for a successful connection. Contact
your ISP or telecommunications service provider if you are interested in setting up multiple virtual connections.
After the necessary arrangements have been made to use the Router with multiple virtual connections, follow
the instructions below to setup the Router using the VPI/VCI settings given to you by your server provider.
Configure Multiple PVCs
Additional PVCs can be configured by first accessing the WAN configuration window in the Home directo ry.
Select new PVC to configure in the WAN Settings window
The PVC pull-down menu offers eight virtual connections available for configuration. The default PVC used by
the Router is labeled Pvc0. Any additional connections that are configured must have a VPI/VCI combination
that is unique to the Router. These numbers will have been already been established by your service provider
on their network.
Page 54 of 110 www.dlink.com.au
DSL-G604T Generation II ADSL2+ Wireless Modem Router
To add a new virtual connection:
1. Select the new PVC to configure from the pull-down menu.
2. Enter the values for the VPI and VCI given to you by your service provider.
3. To activate the VC, select Enabled from the Virtual Circuit pull-down menu.
4. Configure the WAN Settings and Connection Type as desired.
5. To save the new settings, click the Save and Reboot button (Tools > System). The new connection will
activate upon restarting.
In the example below, a new PVC (Pvc1) has been added using the WAN Settings window. The connection is
setup as a bridged connection.

UPnP
UPnP supports zero-configuration networking and automatic discovery for many types of networked devices.
When enabled, it allows other devices that support UPnP to dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address,
convey its capabilities, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other devices. DHCP and DNS service
can also be used if available on the network. UPnP also allows supported devices to leave a network
automatically without adverse effects to the device or other devices on the network.
UPnP is a protocol supported by diverse networking media including Ethernet, Firewire, phone line, and power
line networking.

DMZ
Firewalls may conflict with certain interactive applications such as video conferencing or pl aying Internet video
games. For these applications, a firewall bypass can be set up us in g a DMZ IP address. The DMZ IP address i s a
“visible” address and does not benefit from the full protection of the firewall function. Therefore it is advisable
that other security precautions be enabled to protect the other computers and devices on the LAN. It may be
wise to use isolate the device with the DMZ IP address from the rest of the LAN.
For example, if you want to use video conferencing and still use a firewall, you can use the DMZ IP address
function. In this case, you must have a PC or server through which video conferencing will take place. The IP
address of this PC or server will then be the DMZ IP address. You can designate the server’s IP address as the
DMZ by typing in the IP address in the IP Address space provided and then enabling its status by cli cking the
Enabled radio button and then click Apply.
For the system that uses the DMZ IP address, you may want to manually assign an IP address to it and adjust
your DHCP server addresses so that the DMZ IP address is not included in the DHCP server range. This way you
avoid possible IP address problems if you reboot the DMZ system.
DMZ menu
To designate a DMZ IP address, select the Enabled radio button, type in the IP Address of the server or
device on your LAN, and click the Apply button. To remove DMZ status from the designated IP address, select
the Disabled radio button and click Apply. It will be necessary to save the settings and reboot the Router before
the DMZ is activated.

field to block certain websites by entering a keyword into the URL Address field. So, if any website’s URL
contains this word, it will automatically be denied access to users on the LAN.
For example, if you wish to block users from accessing shopping websites, enter the keyword “shopping into the
URL Address field. Then website having “shopping” in their URL (such as
http://www.yahoo.com/shopping/stores.html
from computers on the LAN. This feature may be beneficial to parents wanting to stop their kids from accessing
certain websites or for companies who want their employees to stop surfing the Internet on company time.
To configure this screen for URL blocking, enter the website’s address or a keyword into the URL field and click
Add button, then click Apply to save this configuration into the Routers memory. Configured URL blocking
entries will be displayed in the Blocked URLs List at the bottom of the screen. To remove a Blocked URL entry
in the list, click on the entry and click the Delete button.
or http://www.msn/search/shopping-spree.html) will be denied
Domain Blocking
Domain blocking is a method of denying computers on the LAN access to specific domains on the Internet.
To configure this screen for URL blocking, enter the website’s address into the Domain field and click Add
button, then click Apply to save this configuration into the Routers memory. Configured Domain blocking
entries will be displayed in the Blocked Domains List at the bottom of the screen. To remove a Blocked

A DoS "denial-of-service" attack is characterised by an explicit attempt by attackers to prevent legiti mate users
of a service from using that service. Examples include: attempts to "flood" a network, thereby preventing
legitimate network traffic, attempts to disrupt connections between two machines, thereby preventing access t o
a service, attempts to prevent a particular individual from accessing a service, or, attempts to disrupt service to
a specific system or person.
Port scan protection is designed to block attempts to discover vulnerable ports or services that might be
exploited in an attack from the WAN.
The Service Filtering options allow you to block FTP, Telnet response, Pings, etc, from the external network.
Check the category you want to block to enable filtering of that type of packet.
When you have selected the desired Firewall policies, click the Apply button to enforce the policies. Remember
to save any configuration changes.

DSL-G604T Generation II ADSL2+ Wireless Modem Router
Additional options become available when you select either ToS, Application, or User Define from the Classified
by drop-down menu. Selecting ToS will display the following window.
QoS Configuration window IP QoS for ToS
From this window you can input a Weight in percentage and a priority range that will determine the mechanism
by which the four priority levels are “mapped”. For example, if you assign 100% and a range of 0 to 7 to
priority level 1, then the remaining priority levels (2 to 4) will only forward packets when priority level 1 is
empty (when there are no packets to forward). Some experimentation may be necessary to achieve the
optimum results with your particular ISP’s connection.
Page 77 of 110 www.dlink.com.au
DSL-G604T Generation II ADSL2+ Wireless Modem Router
If you select Application from the Classified by drop-down menu, the following window appears.
QoS Configuration window IP QoS for Application
On this window, you can select the mechanism by which the four priority queues are emptied by assigning a
weight, in percentage terms, to each priority queue, and then assigning a packet type th at can be associated
with an application type. For example, if you assign a weight of 100% to Priority 1, with an application type of
Voice, then the other 3 priority queues (2 to 4) will not be allowed to forward packets until all of the Voi ce
packets have been sent from the priority 1 queue.

DSL-G604T Generation II ADSL2+ Wireless Modem Router
If you select User Define in the Classified by drop-down menu, the following window appears.
QoS Configuration window IP QoS for User Define
On this window, you can assign a weight, on a percentage basis, to each of the four priority queues. In
addition, you can specify the number of bytes from the beginning of a given packet’s IP header to set a pointer.
From this pointer, you can then specify a Value (in hexadecimal) and a Mask (in hexadecimal) for the router to
match when examining packets crossing the specified priority queue. It is recommended that you not enter a
QoS scheme of this type unless you fully understand Offsets, pointers, masks, and IP headers or you are
instructed to do so by your ISP.
