D-Link DSL-500B User Manual
Installation
Installation
This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the ADSL Router is very important. Do not
place the Router in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, or in the attic or garage. Place the ADSL Router in a
location where it can be easily connected to Ethernet devices, the telephone line as well as to a power source.
Overview
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.
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-500B 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 SE,
Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.

Installation
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 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. 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 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
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 as 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 or PPPoA 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 connections, the 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 network configuration that
may be required.

Installation
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 configuration (Connection Type settings listed in parenthesis):
PPPoE/PPoA (PPPoE LLC, PPPoA LLC or PPPoA VC-Mux)
±
Dynamic IP Address (1483 Bridged IP LLC, 1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux)
±
Static IP Address (1483 Bridged IP LLC, 1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux, 1483 Routed IP LLC (IPoA) or 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 (Auto
Synch-Up) 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.
