The first three numbers define the network IP address (all machines must belong to the same IP network), while the last number denotes the host IP address (each computer must have a unique address to distinguish it on the network).

    DSL-G604T 54Mbps Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem/Router Manual IP Concepts This appendix describes some basic IP concepts, the TCP/IP addressing scheme and show how to assign IP Addresses. When setting up the Router, you must make sure it has a valid IP address. Even if you will not use the WAN port (ADSL port), you should, at the very least, make sure the Ethernet LAN port is assigned a valid IP address.
  • Page 85 DSL-G604T 54Mbps Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem/Router Manual Networks attached to the Internet are assigned class types that determine the maximum number of possible hosts per network. The previous figure illustrates how the net and host portions of the IP address differ among the three classes. Class A is assigned to networks that have more than 65,535 hosts;...

For more information on address assignment, refer to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private Internets and RFC 1466, Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space.

    DSL-G604T 54Mbps Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem/Router Manual Microfilters and Splitters Most ADSL clients will be required to install a simple device that prevents the ADSL line from interfering with regular telephone services. These devices are commonly referred to as microfilters or sometimes called (inaccurately) line splitters.

    DSL-G604T 54Mbps Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem/Router Manual Line Splitter If you are instructed to use a “line splitter”, you must install the device between the Router and the phone jack. Use standard telephone cable with standard RJ-11 connectors. The splitter has three RJ-11 ports used to connect to the wall jack, the Router and if desired, a telephone or telephone device.
