D-Link DSL-2760U USER’S MANUAL

11

Information you will need from your ADSL service provider

Username

This is the Username used to log on to your ADSL service provider’s network. Your ADSL service provider uses this to identify your account.

Password

This is the Password used, in conjunction with the Username above, to log on to your ADSL service provider’s network. This is used to verify the identity of your

account.

WAN Setting / Connection Type

These settings describe the method your ADSL service provider uses to transport data between the Internet and your computer. Most users will use the default

settings. You may need to specify one of the following WAN Setting and Connection Type configurations (Connection Type settings listed in parenthesis):



PPPoE/PPoA (PPPoE LLC, PPPoE VC-Mux, PPPoA LLC, or PPPoA VC-Mux)



Dynamic IP Address (1483 Bridged IP LLC or 1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux)



Static IP Address (Bridged IP LLC, 1483 Bridged IP VC Mux, 1483 Routed IP LLC, 1483 Routed IP VC-Mux)



Bridge Mode (1483 Bridged IP LLC or 1483 Bridged IP VC Mux)

Modulation Type

ADSL uses various standardized modulation techniques to transmit data over the allotted signal frequencies. Some users may need to change the type of

modulation used for their service. The default DSL modulation (Autosense) used for the Router automatically detects all types of ADSL, ADSL2, and ADSL2+

modulation.

Security Protocol

This is the method your ADSL service provider will use to verify your Username and Password when you log on to their network. Your Router supports the PAP

and CHAP protocols.

VPI

Most users will not be required to change this setting. The Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) is used in conjunction with the Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) to identify the

data path between your ADSL service provider’s network and your computer. If you are setting up the Router for multiple virtual connections, you will need to

configure the VPI and VCI as instructed by your ADSL service provider for the additional connections. This setting can be changed in the WAN Settings window

of the web management interface.

ADSL service provider’s network and your computer. If you are setting up the Router for multiple virtual connections, you will need to configure the VPI and VCI

interface.

Information you will need about DSL-2760U

Username

This is the Username needed access the Router’s management interface. When you attempt to connect to the device through a web browser you will be

prompted to enter this Username. The default Username for the Router is “admin.” The user cannot change this.

Password

This is the Password you will be prompted to enter when you access the Router’s management interface. The default Password is “admin.” The user may change

this.

LAN IP addresses for the DSL-2760U

This is the IP address you will enter into the Address field of your web browser to access the Router’s configuration graphical user interface (GUI) using a web

browser. The default IP address is 192.168.1.1. This may be changed to suit any IP address scheme the user desires. This address will be the base IP address

used for DHCP service on the LAN when DHCP is enabled.

LAN Subnet Mask for the DSL-2760U

This is the subnet mask used by the DSL-2760U, and will be used throughout your LAN. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. This can be changed later.

Information you will need about your LAN or computer

Ethernet NIC

If your computer has an Ethernet NIC, you can connect the DSL-2760U to this Ethernet port using an Ethernet cable. You can also use the Ethernet ports on the

DSL-2760U to connect to other computer or Ethernet devices.

DHCP Client status

Your DSL-2760U ADSL Router is configured, by default, to be a DHCP server. This means that it can assign an IP address, subnet mask, and a default gateway

address to computers on your LAN. The default range of IP addresses the DSL-2760U will assign are from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. Your computer (or

computers) needs to be configured to obtain an IP address automatically (that is, they need to be configured as DHCP clients.)

It is recommended that your collect and record this information here, or in some other secure place, in case you have to re-configure your ADSL connection in the

future.

Once you have the above information, you are ready to setup and configure your DSL-2760U.

Device Installation

The DSL-2760U connects two separate physical interfaces, an ADSL (WAN) and an Ethernet (LAN) 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

The Router must be used with the power adapter included with the device.

1.

Insert the AC 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.

Depress the Power button into the on position. You should see the Power LED indicator light up and remain lit.

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 using a ballpoint or paperclip to gently push down the reset button in the following sequence:

1.

Ensure the Router is powered on.

2.

Press and hold the reset button on the back of the device for approximately 6 to 10 seconds.

3.

This process should take around 1 to 2 minutes.

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

192.168.1.1

and the subnet mask is

255.255.255.0

, the default management Username is “admin” and the default Password is

“admin.”

Network Connections

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-through 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. If you wish to reserve the uplink port on the switch or hub

for another device, connect to any on the other MDI-X ports (1x, 2x, etc.) with a crossed cable.

Computer to Router Connection

You can connect the Router directly to a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet adapter card (NIC) installed on a PC using the Ethernet cable provided.
