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 the instructions 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 10/100 BASE-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 cabling 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 of the other MDI-X ports (1x, 2x, etc.) with a crossed cable.

Computer to Router Connection

You can either connect the Router’s Ethernet interface directly to a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet adapter card (NIC) installed in a PC using the

Ethernet cable provided or connect the Router to a spare USB port using the Router’s USB interface.

Configuration

This section will show you how to configure your new D-Link Router using the web-based configuration utility.

Web-based Configuration Utility

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. 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.

To access the configuration utility, open a web-browser such as Internet

Explorer and enter the IP address of the router (

192.168.1.1

).

Type

“admin

” for the User Name and “

admin

” in the Password field. If

you get a

error, please refer to the

Troubleshooting

section for assistance.

This chapter is concerned with using your computer to configure the WAN connection. The following chapter describes the various windows used to

configure and monitor the Router including how to change IP settings and DHCP server setup.

QUICK SETUP

After successfully logging into the router you will be directed to the following

Quick Setup

window. Please note that if you have already successfully

established a DSL connection to the Router, this menu item will not appear.

Tick the DSL Auto-connect check box and then click the

QUICK SETUP

This window allows you to set up ATM PVC configuration. Enter a Port

Identifier, Virtual Path Identifier, and Virtual Channel Identifier. The VPI

and VCI values should be provided by your ISP. This window also allows

you to enable QoS by ticking the Enable Quality of Service check box.

Click the

Next

button to continue.

QUICK SETUP – CONNECTION TYPE

This window allows you to select the appropriate connection type. The

choices include PPP over ATM (PPPoA), PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE),

MAC Encapsulation Routing (MER), IP over ATM (IPoA), and Bridging

(default).

This window also allows you to use the drop-down menu to select the

desired Encapsulation Mode. Click the
