•

This DSE XH1175 ADSL Router UTP 4x LAN may not achieve the type of “high speed” operation expected when attached to a line that is longer than intended by the ITU-T G992.1 ADSL standard i.e. >4 km of 0.4mm cable or a shorter cable length with several tails or multiples. If the Router is installed in such conditions and does not give the expected “download” performance, then do not refer the matter to the Telecom Fault Service or ADSL Helpdesk.

The user should not modify or change this device without written approval of DSE (NZ) Ltd. Modification could void authority to use this equipment.

1 Introduction

The XH1175 ADSL Router is optimised to address the growing demand for high-speed Internet access. With four IEEE 802.3-compliant Ethernet (UTP) ports, it aims to provide a wide array of connectivity options without relaying on host PC drivers.

The ADSL Ethernet Router is an “always-on” high-speed broadband connection to the Internet. Using existing twisted-pair telephone lines, ADSL technology provides data rates more than 100 times as fast as a traditional analog modem, without an interruption in telephone service.

The ADSL Ethernet Router is fully compliant with the full-rate ADSL (T1.413 Issue 2 and G.dmt) and the splitterless G.lite (G.992.2) standards. It can achieve data transfer rates of up to 8Mbps downstream and 1Mbps upstream.

2.6 Quality-of-Service (QoS)

The DSE ADSL Router supports several types of (Quality-of-Service) QoS functions with twolevel priority queues to improve multimedia or real-time networking applications. The QoS functions are based on:

• Port-based priority

• 802.1Q VLAN priority tag

• The TOS / DS (DiffServ) field of TCP/IP as defined in RFC 2474

2.7 Advanced Firewall

The DSE ADSL Router incorporates an advanced, Stateful-Packet-Inspection (SPI) Firewall. This firewall allows you to block / allow traffic according to Access Control Lists (ACLs) that you have defined. This granular control of traffic, coupled with accurate logging, helps to protect your network from Internet threats.

The Firewall is configuration is needed. If your computer is “port scanned”, it will not answer – fooling the scanner into thinking there is no device present.

Hardware Installation

2.8 Front Panel

Operation of the LED indicators, as shown in the figure, are described below.

2.9 Rear Panel

The rear panel of the Router provides access to one WAN connection, the FACTORY RESET button, four LAN connections, DC power input and the power ON/OFF switch as indicated in the figure below.

To reset the router back to it’s default configuration setting, with the router on, hold

Note:

down the reset button for approximately 10 seconds. The router will then automatically restart.

XH1175 - DSE ADSL Router

2.10 Power On

Connect the supplied 12V DC power adapter to a power outlet and turn the power switch, located on the rear of the router, ON – the ADSL router will then enter a self-test phase. When it is in the self-test phase, the READY LED will be lit ON for about 8 seconds - the READY LED will then flash to indicate that the self-test phase has finished. Finally, the READY LED will begin to flash constantly to indicate that the router is in normal operation.

2.11 Make sure ADSL service is activated

Before you can use your ADSL router to connect to the Internet, you must confirm that the following conditions have been met.

• You are located within about 5km of an ADSL enabled phone exchange and you can get Telecom’s ADSL service. This can be checked on-line by visiting “http://adsl.dse.co.nz” and clicking on the link “

• Telecom has enabled the ADSL service to your house or office. This can be facilitated by Ihug, Xtra or directly with Telecom

• Because ADSL and voice works on the same phone line at the same time, you need to install ADSL filter/s on each of your normal Telephone devices or contact Telecom on 123 to arrange for someone to install a central splitter.

• You need to have an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to enable your new ADSL line to connect to the Internet.

• To connect with IHUG, simply call 0800 GET IHUG or visit www.ihug.co.nz/dse/adsl To connect with XTRA JetStream, simply call 0800 JET XTRA

” – or by calling Telecom on 0800 253 878.

2.12 Configure your phone equipment

ADSL works by combining both voice and data signals on the same phone line. At your premises, these signals need to be separated through the use of an approved Filter or Splitter. Whilst both achieve the same results, each has their pros and cons.

& cordless phones, answering machines, faxes, caller display units, analogue modem (including such devices as a Sky digital decoder with integrated modem), dedicated dialers, Etc. Filtering telephone equipment is as simple as plugging the XH7556 DSE ADSL filter in-line with the device/s.

• Your ADSL modem or router will be the only device that can connect directly to your

jack point. However should an adaptor be required between the plug on the modem cord and the jack point, or you wish to connect telephone equipment to the same jack point, the DSE ADSL filter can be used by plugging the router or modem into the “ADSL” socket.

• Do not plug an ADSL modem or router into the “PHONE” socket if the modem cord

has this type of plug. It is important that the filter is connected the right way around.
