About This User’s Guide

This user’s guide provides instructions on how to install the DSL-500T ADSL Router and use it to connect a computer or Ethernet LAN to the Internet.

If you are using a computer with a functioning Ethernet port, the quickest and easiest way to set up the DSL-500T is follow the instructions provided in the Quick Installation Guide.

Before You Start

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.

Installation Overview

The procedure to install the Router can be described in general terms in the following steps:

1.Gather information and equipment needed to install the device. Before you begin the actual installation make sure you have all the necessary information and equipment.

2.Install the hardware, that is, connect the cables (Ethernet and telephone) to the device and connect the power adapter.

3.Check the IP settings on your computer and change them if necessary so the computer can access the web-based software built into the Router.

4.Use the web-based management software to configure the device to suit the requirements of your ADSL account.

Installation Requirements

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-500T 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, and Windows XP.

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 5.0, Netscape Navigator® version 4.7, or later versions. The web browser must have JavaScript enabled. JavaScript is enabled by default on many browsers. Make sure JavaScript has not been
