    About This User’s Guide This user’s guide provides instructions on how to install the DSL-500 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-500 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.
