Chapter 3: Configuration

Enable NAT on this interface:

If your LAN interface is set on primary LAN you should check the box of the

 

Enable Network Address Translation. NAT translates a private IP within one

 

network to a public IP address.

User Name/Password:

The user name and password used to access the remote server or ISP.

Dial On Demand:

If checked, under disconnected status, if any client PC sends out request for

 

connection, the ADSL Router will dial the ISP automatically. In this case, if the

 

system administrator wants to disconnect the PPP session, just click the

 

Disconnect button at Quick Start page.

Always On:

Enabling this feature will send echo request to ISP. This prevents the connection

 

from being hung up by ISP.

 

The parameters for PPPoE configuration are generally the same as those of

 

PPPoA. The additional parameters are:

Service Name:

Enter the name of your PPPoE service here.

Service Server:

Enter the name of your PPPoE service server here.

Note: When you initially add a PVC for the PPP connection and connect to ISP, a default routing of 0.0.0.0 is added automatically to the IP Static Routing. If you set up more than one PVC profiles and the first PVC is deleted, then you have to manually add the default routing.

IP Route

Static Route

This page shows all static route status and allows you to add new static IP route or delete IP route. A Static IP Routing is a manually defined path, which determines the data-transmitting route. If your local network is composed of multiple subnets, you may want to specify a routing path to the routing table.

You can click Create a new route to add new route.

Destination Address: The destination IP address of the network where data packets are to be sent.

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.
