Router Description and Operation

The DSL-504T ADSL2+ Modem Router is designed to provide connectivity for your private Ethernet LAN to the
Internet via an ADSL connection.
The Router is easy to install and use. Standard Ethernet ports are used to connect to computer or other
Ethernet devices.
ADSL
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a broadband network technology that utilises standard twisted-
pair copper wire telephone lines to enable broadband high-speed digital data transmission and bandwidth
hungry applications for business and residential customers.
ADSL2+ routers and modems provide faster downloads and more reliable connectivity to the user without loss
of quality or disruption of voice/fax telephone capabilities.
ADSL2+ provides a dedicated service over a single telephone line operating at speeds of up to 24Mbps
downstream and up to 1Mbps upstream, depending on local telephone line conditions. A secure point-to-point
connection is established between the user and the central office of the service provider.
D-Link ADSL devices incorporate the recommendations of the ADSL Forum regarding framing, data format, and
upper layer protocols.
