DSL-G804V Wireless ADSL Router User’s Guide
About This User’s Guide
This user’s guide provides instructions on how to install the DSL-G804V Wireless 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, the quickest and easiest way to set up the DSLG804V is to insert the Installation CD into the CD-ROM drive of your computer and follow the instructions
provided in the Quick Installation Guide.
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 beg in the 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.
Installation Requirements
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. Yo u 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-G804V uses an HTML-based web interface for setup and management. The web configuration
manager may be accessed using any operating system capable of running web browser software, including
Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Me.
Web Browser
Any common web browser can be used to configure the Router using the web configuration management
software. The program is designed to work best with more recently released browsers such as Opera, Microsoft
Internet Explorer® version 5.0, Netscape Navigator® version 4.5, 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.
v
DSL-G804V Wireless ADSL Router User’s Guide
Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter)
Any computer that uses the Router must be able to connect to it through the Ethernet port on the Router. This
connection is an Ethernet connection and therefore requires that your computer be equipped with an Ethernet
port as well. Most notebook computers are now sold with an Ethernet port already installed. Likewise, most fully
assembled desktop computers come with an Ethernet NIC adapter as standard equ ipment. 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 ad apter.
Additional Software
It may be necessary to install software on your computer that enables the computer to access the Internet.
Additional software must be installed if you are using the device a simple bridge. For a bridged connection, the
information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored on another computer or gateway
device, not in the Router itself.
If your ADSL service is delivered through a PPPoE, PPPoA or CLIP (IPoA) connection, the information needed
to establish and maintain the Internet connection can be stored in the Router. In this case, it is not necessary to
install software on your computer. It may however be necessary to change some settings in the device, including
account information used to identify and verify the connection.
All connections to the Internet require a unique global IP address. For bridged co nnections, th e global IP settings
must reside in a TCP/IP enabled device on the LAN side of the bridge, such as a PC, a server, a gateway device
such as a router or similar firewall hardware. The IP address can be assigned in a number of ways. Your network
service provider will give you instructions about any additional connection software or NIC configuration that
may be required.
About CLIP Connections (RFC 1577)
Classical IP over ATM (CLIP) connections may require global IP settings for the device. Your service provider
will give you IP settings information if needed. Some CLIP connections function like peer-to-peer connections
and therefore do not require IP settings on the WAN interface.

security features including multiple VPN tunnels
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.
ADSL greatly increases the signal carrying capacity of copper telephone lines witho ut 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 co nnection
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.

Hardware Installation
The DSL-G804V maintains five separate interfaces, four Ethernet and one ADSL interface. Place the Router in a
location where it can be safely 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 precautions.
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.
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 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

Network Connections
Network connections are provid ed through the ADSL por t and the four Ethernet por ts 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 10BASE-TX Ethernet port on
the rear panel. Any connection to an Ethernet concentrating device such as a switch or hub must operate at a
speed of 10/100 Mbps only. When connecting the Router to any Ethernet device that is capable of operating at
speeds higher than 10Mbps, be sure that the device has auto-negotiation (NWay) enabled for the connecting port.
Use standard twisted-pair 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-thr ough cable. You should use a crossed
cable when connecting the Router to a normal (MDI-X) port on a switch or hub. Use a normal straight-through
cable when connecting it to an uplink (MDI-II) port on a hub or switch.
The rules governing Ethernet cable lengths apply to the LAN to Router connection. Be sure that the cable
connecting the LAN to the Router does not exceed 100 meters.
Hub or Switch to Router Connection
Connect the Router to an uplink port (MDI-II) on an Ethernet hub or switch with a straight-through cable as
shown in the diagram below:
If you wish to reserve the
uplink port on the switch o
hub for another device,
connect to any on the othe
MDI-X ports (1x, 2x, etc.)
with a crossed cable.

Basic Router Configuration
The first time you setup the Router it is recommended that you configure the WAN connection using a single
computer making sure that both the computer and the Router are not connected to the LAN. Once the WAN
connection is functioning properly, you may continue to make changes to Router configuration including IP
settings and DHCP setup. This chapter is concerned with using your computer to configur e the WAN co nnection .
The following chapter describes the various menus used to configure and monitor the Router including how to
change IP settings and DHCP server setup.
Wan Configuration Summary
1. Connect to the Router To configure the WAN connection used by the Router it is first necessary to
communicate with the Router through its management interface, which is HTML-based and can be
accessed using a web browser. To access the management software your computer must be able to
“see” the Router. Your computer can see the Router if it is in the same “neighborhood” or subnet as the
Router. This is accomplished by making sure your computer has IP settings that place it in the same
subnet as the Router. The easiest way to make sure your computer has the correct IP settings is to
configure it to use the DHCP server in the Router. The next section describes how to change the IP
configuration for a computer running a Windows operating system to be a DHCP client.
2. Configure the WAN Connection Once your are able to access the configuration software you can
proceed to change the settings required to establish th e ADSL connection and connect to the service
provider’s network. There are different methods used to establish the connection to the service
provider’s network and ultimately to the Internet. You shou ld know what Encapsulation and conn ection
type you are required to use for your ADSL service. It is also possible that you must chang e the PVC
settings used for the ADSL connection. Your service provider should provide all the information you
need to configure the WAN connection.
Configuring IP Settings on Your Computer
In order to configure your system to receive IP settings from the Router it must first have the TCP/IP protocol
installed. If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably already has TCP/IP protocol installed. If
you are using Windows XP the TCP/IP is enabled by default for standard installations. Below is an illustrated
example of how to configure a Windows XP system to automatically obtain IP settings from the Router.
Following this example is a step-by-step description of the procedures used on the other Windows operating
systems to first check if the TCP/IP protocol has been installed; if it is not, instructions are provided for
installing it. Once the protocol has been installed you can configure the system to receive IP settings from the
Router.
For computers running non-Windows operating systems, follow the instructions for your OS that configure the
system to receive an IP address from the Router, that is, configure the system to be a DHCP client.
If you are using this Router to provide Internet access for more than one computer, you
Note
can use these instructions later to change the IP settings for the other computers.
However, you cannot use the same IP address since every computer must have its own
IP address that is unique on the local network.

DHCP Server
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DHCP protocol allows your router to dynamically assign
IP addresses to PCs on your network if they are configured to obtain IP addresses automatically.
Figure 3-13. Home – DHCP Server
None DHCP
The DHCP Server is disabled; you will need to manually assig n a fixed IP address to each PCs on your network ,
and set the default gateway for each PCs to the IP address of the router.
DHCP Server
You can configure parameters of the DHCP Server including the IP pool (starting IP address and ending IP
address to be allocated to PCs on your network), lease time for each assigned IP address (the period of time the
IP address assigned will be valid), DNS IP address and the gateway IP address. These details are sent to the
DHCP client (i.e. your PC) when it requests an IP address from the DHCP server. If you check “Use Router as a
DNS Server”, the ADSL Router will perform the domain name lookup, find the IP address from the outside
network automatically and forward it back to the requesting PC in the LAN (your Local Area Network).

DNS Configuration
A Domain Name System (DNS) contains a mapping table for domain name and IP addresses. On the Internet,
every host has a unique and user-friendly name (domain name) such as www.helloworld.com and an IP address.
An IP address is a 32-bit number in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, for example 192.168.1.1. You can think of an I P
address as a telephone number for devices on the Internet, and the DNS will allow you to find the telephone
number for any particular domain name. As an IP Address is hard to remember, the DNS converts the friendly
name into its equivalent IP Address.
Figure 3-16. Home – DNS Configuration
You can obtain a Domain Name System (DNS) IP address automatically if your ISP has provided it when you
logon, check the Enable box. Usually when you choose PPPoE or PPPoA as your WAN - ISP protocol, the ISP
will provide the DNS IP address automatically. You may leave the configuration field blank.
Alternatively, your ISP may provide you with an IP address of their DNS. If this is the case, you must enter the
DNS IP address manually

Note
If you have disabled the NAT option in the WAN-ISP section, the Virtual Server function will
hence be invalid.
If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in assigning the IP addresses
of the virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easiest way of configuring Virtual Servers is
to manually assign static IP address to each virtual server PC, with an address that does not fall
into the range of IP addresses that are to be issued by the DHCP server. You can configure the
virtual server IP address manually, but it must still be in the same subnet as the router.

Add Virtual Server
When your router needs to allow outside users to access internal servers, e.g. a web server, FTP server, Email
server or game server, the router can act as a “virtual server”. You can set up a local server with a specific port
number for the service to use, e.g. web/HTTP (port 80), FTP (port 21), Telnet (port 23), SMTP (port 25), or
POP3 (port 110). When an incoming access request to the router for a specified port is received, it will be
forwarded to the corresponding internal server.

Parameter Description
Authentication Type
Authentication establishes the integrity of the datagram and ensures it is not
tampered with in transmit. There are three options, Message Digest 5 (MD5),
Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA1) or NONE. SHA-1 is more resistant to bruteforce attacks than MD5, however it is slower.
Encryption
Select the encryption method from the pull-down menu. There are several
options, DES, 3DES, AES (128, 192 and 256) and NULL. NULL means it is a
tunnel only with no encryption. 3DES and AES are more powerful but increase
latency.
Perfect Forward
Secrecy
Choose whether to enable PFS using Diffie-Hellman public-key cryptography
to change encryption keys during the second phase of VPN negotiation. This
function will provide better security, but extends the VPN negotiation time.
Diffie-Hellman is a public-key cryptography protocol that allows two parties to
establish a shared secret over an unsecured communication channel (i.e. over
the Internet). There are three modes, MODP 768-bit, MODP 1024-bit and
MODP 1536-bit. MODP stands for Modular Exponentiation Groups.
Pre-shared Key
This is for the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol, a string from 4 to 128
characters. Both sides should use the same key. IKE is used to establish a
shared security policy and authenticated keys for services (such as IPSec) that
require a key. Before any IPSec traffic can be passed, each router must be
able to verify the identity of its peer. This can be done by manually entering the
pre-shared key into both sides (router or hosts).

Diffie-Hellman is a public-key cryptography protocol that allows two parties to
establish a shared secret over an unsecured communication channel (i.e. over
the Internet). There are three modes, MODP 768-bit, MODP 1024-bit and
MODP 1536-bit. MODP stands for Modular Exponentiation Groups.
This is for the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol, a string from 4 to 128
characters. Both sides should use the same key. IKE is used to establish a
shared security policy and authenticated keys for services (such as IPSec) that
require a key. Before any IPSec traffic can be passed, each router must be
able to verify the identity of its peer. This can be done by manually entering the
pre-shared key into both sides (router or hosts).
The secure password length should be 16 characters which may include
numbers and characters.
(Option) Enter hostname of remote VPN device. It is a tunnel identifier from
the Remote VPN device matches with the Remote hostname provided. If

DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing users whose
ISP does not assign them a static IP address to use a domain name. This is especially useful for hosting servers
via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your domain name, rather than
having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes from time to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN
IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by your ISP.
