  • Page 7: About This User's Guide

    DSL-504 ADSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide About This User’s Guide This user’s guide provides instructions on how to install the DSL-504 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, you can use the Quick Installation Guide to quickly establish your ADSL connection and access the Internet.

  • Page 8: Operating System

    About Bridged Ethernet Connections (RFC 1483) Using this method, the DSL-504 acts as a transparent bridge, and is invisible to other devices on both the WAN and LAN side of the bridge. It is therefore necessary to provide some means of acquiring global IP settings for your account.

  • Page 9: About Ipoa Connections (Rfc 1577)

    DSL-504 ADSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide About IPoA Connections (RFC 1577) IP over ATM connections may require global IP settings for the device. Your service provider will give you IP settings information if needed. Some IPoA connections function like peer-to-peer connections and therefore do not require IP settings on the WAN interface.

  • Page 11: Introduction

    ADSL connection technology enables many interactive multi-media applications such as video conferencing and collaborative computing. The Router is easy to install and use. The DSL-504 connects to an Ethernet LAN via a standard Ethernet 10BASE-T interface using RJ-45 connectors. The ADSL connection is made using ordinary twisted-pair telephone line with standard RJ-11 connectors.
