Device Installation - D-Link DSL-321B User Manual

Section 2 – Installation
Information you will need about your LAN or computer
:
Ethernet NIC
If your computer has an Ethernet NIC, you can connect the DSL-321B to this Ethernet port using an Ethernet cable. You can also use the Ethernet
ports on the DSL-321B to connect to other computer or Ethernet devices.
DHCP Client status
Your DSL-321B ADSL Modem is configured, by default, to be a DHCP server. This means that it can assign an IP address, subnet mask, and a
default gateway address to computers on your LAN. The default range of IP addresses the DSL-321B will assign are from 192.168.1.2 to
192.168.1.254. Your computer (or computers) needs to be configured to obtain an IP address automatically (that is, they need to be configured as
DHCP clients.)
It is recommended that your collect and record this information here, or in some other secure place, in case you have to re-configure your ADSL
connection in the future.
Once you have the above information, you are ready to setup and configure your DSL-321B ADSL Modem.

Device Installation

The DSL-321B connects two separate physical interfaces, an ADSL (WAN) and an Ethernet (LAN) interface. Place the Modem in a location where it
can be connected to the various devices as well as to a power source. The Modem should not be located where it will be exposed to moisture or
excessive heat. Make sure the cables and power cord are placed safely out of the way so they do not create a tripping hazard. As with any electrical
appliance, observe common sense safety procedures.
The Modem can be placed on a shelf or desktop, ideally you should be able to see the LED indicators on the front if you need to view them for
troubleshooting.
