1.1 Product Overview

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) refers to a technology used to increase the data capacity

of standard twisted-pair wires that are generally used to connect most households to

the telephone network. In addition, this technology allows simultaneous voice and

high-speed data transmission over a single pair of telephone wires.

ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line), as its name indicates, is an asymmetrical

data transmission technology with higher traffic rates downstream and lower traffic

rates upstream. It is suitable for Internet users because information is usually

downloaded more often than uploaded, such as when surfing the web or downloading

files.

The Aolynk ADSL2+ router with embedded ADSL2+ technology brings up high-speed

internet access and remote connection features, which make it an ideal solution for

small businesses and SOHO users.

DR811/DR814 uses the ATM over ADSL2+ technology to communicate with the central

office providing the ADSL2+ service. As ATM PVC supports connections of various

types such as PPPoE, PPPoA, IPoA and bridge, Aolynk DR811/DR814 delivers great

networking flexibility and accommodates diversified requirements.

This type of router falls into 4 models as below.

2.1 Overview

This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the ADSL router to a computer

or LAN.

This chapter assumes that you have already established a DSL service with your

Internet service provider (ISP). These instructions provide a basic configuration that

should be compatible with your home or small office network setup. Refer to the

subsequent chapters for additional configuration instructions.

When selecting a location for the ADSL router, allow ample clearance to access the

connections on the rear panel. For convenience, try to place the ADSL router near your

computer so you can monitor the LED indicators. Allow some space above the ADSL

router for ventilation to avoid problems with overheating.

The diagram below illustrates the hardware connections. Refer to the steps that follow

for specific instructions.
