Chapter 2: Planning Your Network
IP Addresses
ADSL Gateway
Since you use the Gateway to share your DSL Internet connection, contact your ISP to find out if they have
assigned a static IP address to your account. If so, you will need that static IP address when configuring the
Gateway. You can get that information from your ISP.
Dynamic IP Addresses
A dynamic IP address is automatically assigned to a device on the network, such as computers and print servers.
These IP addresses are called “dynamic” because they are only temporarily assigned to the computer or device.
After a certain time period, they expire and may change. If a computer logs onto the network (or the Internet) and
its dynamic IP address has expired, the DHCP server will automatically assign it a new dynamic IP address.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Servers
Computers and other network devices using dynamic IP addressing are assigned a new IP address by a DHCP
server. The computer or network device obtaining an IP address is called the DHCP client. DHCP frees you from
having to assign IP addresses manually every time a new user is added to your network.
A DHCP server can either be a designated computer on the network or another network device, such as the
Gateway. By default, the Gateway’s DHCP Server function is enabled.
If you already have a DHCP server running on your network, you must disable one of the two DHCP servers. If you
run more than one DHCP server on your network, you will experience network errors, such as conflicting IP
addresses. To disable DHCP on the Gateway, see the DHCP section in “Chapter 5: Configuring the ADSL Gateway.”

Ethernet (1-4)
The
Ethernet
ports connect to your computers and other network devices.
Reset Button
There are two ways to reset the Gateway's factory defaults. Either press the

, for
approximately ten seconds, or restore the defaults from the

tab in the Gateway’s Web-based Utility.
Power
The
Power
port is where you will connect the power adapter.
IMPORTANT:
Resetting the Gateway to factory
defaults will erase all of your settings
(including Internet connection and other
settings) and replace them with the factory
defaults. Do not reset the Gateway if you want
to retain these settings.

LEDs
POWER
Green. The

successfully connected to a device through the LAN port. If the LED is flashing, it is an
indication of any network activity.
DSL
Green. The
DSL
LED lights up whenever there is a successful DSL connection. The LED blinks
while the Gateway is establishing the ADSL connection.
INTERNET
Green. The
INTERNET
LED lights up green when an Internet connection to the Internet Service
Provider (ISP) is established. The
INTERNET
LED lights up red when the connection to the ISP
fails.

The Bottom Panel
The Gateway has a built-in stand available. If you place the Gateway flat on a surface, then you can leave the
stand in the closed position. However, if you want the Gateway to be upright, swivel the stand clockwise 90º and
position the Gateway accordingly.

Overview
ADSL Gateway
Chapter 4: Connecting the ADSL Gateway
Overview
The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup information for the modem with you after
installing your broadband connection. If not, you can call your ISP to request that data.
After you have the setup information you need for your specific type of Internet connection, you can begin
installation and setup of the Gateway. Continue to “Connecting the Gateway to a Computer.”
Connecting the Gateway to a Computer
1.
Make sure that all of your network’s hardware is powered off, including the Gateway and all computers.
2.
Connect a phone cable from the Line port on the Gateway’s side panel to the wall jack of the ADSL line. A
small device called a microfilter (not included) may be necessary between each phone and wall jack to
prevent interference.
Contact your ISP if you have any questions.
Figure 4-1: Connect the ADSL Line
IMPORTANT:
For countries that have phone jacks with RJ-11 connectors, make sure to only place
the microfilters between the phone and the wall jack and
not
between the Gateway and the wall
jack or your ADSL will not connect.
For countries that do
not
have phone jacks with RJ-11 connectors (e.g. France, Sweden,
Switzerland, United Kingdom, etc.), except for ISDN users, the microfilter has to be used between
the Gateway and the wall jack, because the microfilter will have the RJ-11 connector. (Extra filters
may be required for phones at your location.)
Annex B users must use the included special cable to connect the Gateway to the wall jack
(Standard Annex B units have an RJ-45 to RJ-12 cable and Annex B with UR-2 support have a stand
network cable RJ -45 to RJ-45 cable).
If you require splitters or special jacks, please contact your
service provider.
NOTE:
A small device called a microfilter (not included) may be necessary between each phone
and wall jack to prevent interference.
Contact your ISP if you have any questions.
