    Chapter 1 Introduction The CT-5374 Multi-DSL WLAN Router provides wired and wireless access for high-bandwidth applications in the home or office. It includes four fast Ethernet ports and supports ADSL2/2+ and VDSL2 connections with DSLAM switching. ADSL2+ connections support multiple simultaneous Internet connections while VDSL2 connections are suitable for triple play (Video + Voice + Data) applications.

    Indicators for details). NOTE: If pressed down for more than 20 seconds, the CT-5374 will go into a firmware update state (CFE boot mode). The firmware can then be updated using an Internet browser pointed to the default IP address.
  • Page 9 Ethernet (LAN) Ports Use 10/100 BASE-T RJ-45 cables to connect up to four network devices. These ports are auto-sensing MDI/X; so either straight-through or crossover cable can be used. DSL Port Connect to an ADSL2/2+ or VDSL with this RJ11 Port. This device contains a micro filter which removes the analog phone signal.

    3.2 IP Configuration DHCP MODE When the CT-5374 powers up, the onboard DHCP server will switch on. Basically, the DHCP server issues and reserves IP addresses for LAN devices, such as your PC. To obtain an IP address from the DCHP server, follow the steps provided below.
  • Page 13 STEP 4: Click OK to submit these settings. If you experience difficulty with DHCP mode, you can try static IP mode instead.
  • Page 14 STATIC IP MODE In static IP mode, you assign IP settings to your PC manually. Follow these steps to configure your PC IP address to use subnet 192.168.1.x. NOTE: The following procedure assumes you are running Windows XP. However, the general steps involved are similar for most operating systems (OS).
