SANTIS ADSL 50/500 User Manual

The ADSL Router implements a built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, which dynamically assigns IP addresses and DNS server to the PCs on the LAN. DHCP function spares you the hassle of manually assigning a fixed IP address to each PC on the LAN. It is probably you already have a DHCP server on your network and you do not enable this function. By default the DHCP Server is enabled on private LAN interface (192.168.1.1).

Start IP address: First IP address of the DHCP address range.

End IP address: Last IP address of the DHCP address range.

DHCP lease time: Specify the time that a network device can lease a private IP address before the ADSL Router reassigning the IP address.

Default Gateway: You check the Report this host as the default gateway box to use this host as the default gateway or fill in an IP address as the default gateway.

Domain Name Servers: You can check the Report this host as the DNS server box to use this host as the default DNS. Or you can uncheck the box and manually set up the DNS IP address in the Primary/Secondary DNS IP address fields. The DNS server addresses will be passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP addresses. The DHCP clients use the DNS to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa.

DHCP Relay Agent: If the DHCP Relay Agent is activated, those DHCP Discover or Request packets coming from the end users’ PCs will be relayed to a remote end DHCP server which is hosted by an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Some ISPs would like to be able to distribute IP addresses to end user PCs directly.

Select DHCP Server Enabled and click Configure to get advanced settings. Please enter the requiring information and click Apply to invoke the configurations.

Siemens ADSL 500 user manual

ADSL 500, ADSL 50 specifications

Siemens has made significant contributions to telecommunication technologies, particularly in the realm of Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL). Two prominent products in their portfolio are the Siemens ADSL 50 and ADSL 500, both designed to enhance broadband connectivity for residential and business users.

The Siemens ADSL 50 is a versatile modem that supports downlink speeds of up to 50 Mbps, making it ideal for users who require substantial data bandwidth for activities such as streaming, gaming, and video conferencing. One of its key features is the ability to optimize connection stability using advanced modulation techniques like DMT (Discrete Multi-Tone). This ensures efficient data transmission by dividing the bandwidth into multiple channels, allowing simultaneous data transfer without significant interference.

Another notable characteristic of the ADSL 50 is its built-in Quality of Service (QoS) functionality. This feature enables prioritization of traffic, ensuring that real-time applications like VoIP or online gaming experience minimal latency and jitter. The device is also equipped with multiple Ethernet ports, providing connectivity for various devices within the home or office.

Meanwhile, the Siemens ADSL 500 takes connectivity a step further by offering a higher maximum downlink speed of up to 500 Mbps. This model caters to users with more demanding bandwidth requirements, such as large enterprises or tech-savvy households with multiple users. Like the ADSL 50, the ADSL 500 employs advanced modulation techniques to manage data traffic effectively.

The ADSL 500 also features enhanced security protocols to safeguard user data, including WPA2 encryption for wireless connectivity, which is essential in today's digital landscape where cybersecurity threats are prevalent. Its compatibility with IPv6 ensures that it remains relevant as the industry transitions to this next-generation internet protocol.

Both models come with user-friendly configurations, typically allowing for quick set-up through web-based interfaces. They often include features like remote management and diagnostics, enabling users to troubleshoot connection issues efficiently.

In summary, the Siemens ADSL 50 and ADSL 500 provide robust solutions for broadband connectivity, combining high-speed capabilities with advanced features to meet the evolving needs of users. Their focus on stability, efficiency, and security makes them reliable choices for anyone looking to enhance their internet experience.
