Before You Use
Before You Use
Thank you for choosing the Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) Router. With the
asymmetric technology, this device runs over standard copper phone lines. In addition, ADSL allows
you to have both voice and data services in use simultaneously all over one phone line.
The ADSL Router is designed to offer cost-effective high-speed services for home or office users. It
supports ADSL2/ADSL2+ and is backward compatible to ADSL, even offers auto-negotiation
capability for different flavors (G.dmt, G.lite, or T1.413 Issue 2) according to central office
DSLAM’s settings (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer). Also the feature-rich routing
functions are seamlessly integrated to ADSL service for existing corporate or home users. Now users
can enjoy various bandwidth-consuming applications via this ADSL Router.

Subscription for ADSL Service
To use the ADSL Router, you have to subscribe for ADSL service from your broadband service
provider. According to the service type you subscribe, you will get various IP addresses:
Dynamic IP: If you apply for dial-up connection, you will be given an Internet account with
username and password. You will get a dynamic IP by dialing up to your ISP.
Static IP address: If you apply for full-time connectivity, you may get either one static IP address
or a range of IP addresses from your ISP. The number of IP addresses varies according to different
ADSL service provider.
