DSL-504T Generation II ADSL2+ Modem Router

Network Connections

Network connections are provided through the ADSL port and Ethernet port on the back of the Router. See the
Rear Panel diagram above and the illustrations below for examples.
Connect ADSL Line
Use the ADSL cable included with the Router to connect it to a telephone wall socket or receptacle. Plug one
end of the cable into the ADSL port (RJ-11 receptacle) on the rear panel of the Router and insert the other end
into the RJ-11 wall socket. If you are using a low pass filter device, follow the instructions included with the
device or given to you by your service provider. The ADSL connection represents the WAN interface, the
connection to the Internet. It is the physical link to the service provider's network backbone and ultimately to
the Internet.
Connect Router to Ethernet
The Router may be connected to a single computer or Ethernet device through the 10/100 BASE-TX Ethernet
port on the rear panel. Any connection to an Ethernet concentrating device such as a switch or hub must
operate at a speed of 10/100 Mbps only. When connecting the Router to any Ethernet device that is capable of
operating at speeds between 0~100Mbps, be sure that the device has auto-negotiation (NWay) enabled for the
connecting port.
Use Category 5 or better twisted-pair Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 port on the Router is
auto MDI-X/MDI-II meaning that is will link correctly with either MDI-II through or MDI-X crossed ports.
The rules governing Ethernet cable lengths apply to the LAN to Router connection. Be sure that the cable
connecting the LAN to the Router does not exceed 100 metres.
