Router Installation INTRODUCTION This chapter will guide you through a basic installation of the Router including: 2. 3. 4.
DB 6520 INSTALLING MICRO FILTERS Before beginning installation you must locate devices in your house requiring a DSL filter such as phones, fax machines, answering machines, dial-up modems, Satellite TV dialers or monitored security systems and attach a DSL filter to any one of them sharing the same phone line as your DSL modem. To install DSL filters please follow these steps: Disconnect the phone cable from the telephone wall socket 2.
DB 6520 POWERING UP THE ROUTER To power up the Router: Plug the power adapter into the power adapter port located on the rear of the Router 2. Plug the power adapter into a standard electrical wall socket 3. Press the Power button located on the rear panel of the Router 4. Wait for the power LED to turn steady green 1. CONNECTING THE ROUTER The first step to install the router is to physically connect it to the telephone socket and then connect it to a computer by means of an Ethernet connection.
DB 6520 To connect the Ethernet cable: Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into one of the four Ethernet ports on the rear of the Router 2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet Network card of your computer 3. Verify if the Ethernet Network card is configured as DHCP client, otherwise configure it to remain in the same local network of the router interface (see chapter “Setting Up Your Computer”) 1. FIGURE 3.
DB 6520 from the Data Gateway its own IP Address automatically: in such a case, the Data Gateway acts like the DHCP server in your local network. TCP/IP CONFIGURATION To access the Internet through the Data Gateway, you must configure the network settings of the computers on your LAN to use the same IP subnet as Data Gateway. The default IP settings for the Data Gateway are: IP ADDRESS: 192.168.1.1 SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.

OBTAIN IP SETTINGS FROM YOUR DATA GATEWAY >> MS WINDOWS XP / VISTA / 7 Now that you’ve configured your computer to connect to your Data Gateway, it needs to obtain new network settings.
DB 6520 OBTAIN IP SETTINGS FROM YOUR DATA GATEWAY >> MS WINDOWS 98SE, ME, 2000 Now that you’ve configured your computer to connect to your Data Gateway, it needs to obtain new network settings. By releasing old DHCP IP settings and renewing them with settings from your Data Gateway, you can verify that you’ve configured your computer correctly. On the Windows desktop, select the Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt menu item 7.

The standard provides for 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps data rates. The rates will switch automatically depending on range and environment. 802.
Ad Hoc mode Ad Hoc mode is a configuration supported by most wireless clients. It is used to connect a peer to peer network together without the use of an access point. It offers lower performance than infrastructure mode, which is the mode the router uses. (see also Infrastructure mode. Auto-negotiation Some devices in the range support auto-negotiation. Auto-negotiation is where two devices sharing a link, automatically configure to use the best common speed.
DNS Server Address DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet host computers to have a domain name (such as pirelli.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.168.10.8). A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing “pirelli.com” into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address.

An organization responsible for providing engineering solutions for TCP/IP networks. In the network management area, this group is responsible for the development of the SNMP protocol.
MAC Media Access Control. A protocol specified by the IEEE for determining which devices have access to a network at any one time. MAC Address Media Access Control Address. Also called the hardware or physical address. A layer 2 address associated with a particular network device. Most devices that connect to a LAN have a MAC address assigned to them as they are used to identify other devices in a network. MAC addresses are 6 bytes long. Mbps Megabits per second.
PPPoA Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM. PPP over ATM is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection. PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-to-Point Protocol is a method of data transmission originally created for dial-up connections; PPPoE is for Ethernet connections. RJ-45 A standard connector used to connect Ethernet networks. The “RJ” stands for “registered jack”.
