Installation Notes
In order to establish a connection to the Internet it will be necessary to provide information to the Router that
will be stored in its memory. For some users, only their account information (Username and Password) is
required. For others, various parameters that control and define the Internet connection will be required. You
can print out the two pages below and use the tables to list this information. This way you have a hard copy
of all the information needed to setup the Router. If it is necessary to reconfigure the device, all the
necessary information can be easily accessed. Be sure to keep this information safe and private.
Low Pass Filters
Since ADSL and telephone services share the same copper wiring to carry their respective signals, a filtering
mechanism may be necessary to avoid mutual interference. A low pass filter device can be installed for each
telephone that shares the line with the ADSL line. These filters are easy to install passive devices that
connect to the ADSL device and/or telephone using standard telephone cable. Ask your service provider for
more information about the use of low pass filters with your installation.
Operating Systems
The DSL-522T uses an HTML-based web interface for setup and management. The web configuration
manager may be accessed using any operating system capable of running web browser software, including
Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
Web Browser
Most of common web browsers can be used to configure the Router using the web configuration
management software. The program is designed to work best with more recently released browsers such as
Microsoft Internet Explorer® version 6.0, Netscape Navigator® version 6.2.3, or later versions. The web
browser must have JavaScript enabled. JavaScript is enabled by default on many browsers. Make sure
JavaScript has not been disabled by other software (such as virus protection or web user security packages)
that may be running on your computer.
USB Port or Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter)
Any computer that uses the Router must be able to connect to it through either the Ethernet port or USB port
on the Router. The easiest method of installation is via the Ethernet connection and therefore requires that
your computer be equipped with an Ethernet port as well. Most notebook computers are now sold with an
Ethernet port already installed. Likewise, most fully assembled desktop computers come with an Ethernet
NIC adapter as standard equipment. If your computer does not have an Ethernet port and you do not wish to
use a USB connection, you must install an Ethernet NIC adapter before you can use the Router. If you must
install an adapter, follow the installation instructions that come with the Ethernet NIC adapter.
Additional Software
For a bridged connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored on
another computer or gateway device using PPP client or similar third party client software, not in the Router
itself.
If your ADSL service is delivered through a PPPoE, PPPoA or Static IP connection, the information needed
to establish and maintain the Internet connection can be stored in the Router. In this case, it is not necessary
to install software on your computer. It may however be necessary to change some settings in the device,
including account information used to identify and verify the connection.
If you plan to use the DSL-522T's USB port to connect to your computer, do
not connect the USB cable to the Router until you have finished all of the steps
Note
to install the USB driver, and your computer has restarted.
