ISP S ETTINGS ISP Settings Please collect the following information from your ISP before setting up ADSL Router • ISP account user name and password • Protocol, encapsulation and VPI/VCI circuit numbers • DNS server address • IP address, subnet mask and default gateway (for fixed IP users only) Connect the System The ADSL Router can be positioned at any convenient location in your office or home.
NSTALLATION Phone Line Configuration Installing a Full-Rate Connection If you are using a full-rate (G.dmt) connection, your service provider will attach the outside ADSL line to a data/voice splitter. In this case you can connect your phones and computer directly to the splitter as shown below: Figure 2-3.
Page 17
ONNECT THE YSTEM Installing a Splitterless Connection If you are using a splitterless (G.lite) connection, then your service provider will attach the outside ADSL line directly to your phone system. In this case you can connect your phones and computer directly to the incoming ADSL line, but you will have to add low-pass filters to your phones as shown below: Figure 2-4.
NSTALLATION Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling The four LAN ports on the ADSL Router auto-negotiate the connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, as well as the transmission mode to half duplex or full duplex. Use RJ-45 cables to connect any of the four LAN ports on the ADSL Router to an Ethernet adapter on your PC.

DVANCED ETUP Intrusion Detection • Intrusion Detection Feature Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Anti-DoS firewall protection (Default: Enabled) — The Intrusion Detection Feature of the ADSL Router limits access for incoming traffic at the WAN port. When the SPI feature is turned on, all incoming packets will be blocked except for those types marked in the Stateful Packet Inspection section.
Page 85
DVANCED ETUP • Stateful Packet Inspection This is called a “stateful” packet inspection because it examines the contents of the packet to determine the state of the communications; i.e., it ensures that the stated destination computer has previously requested the current communication.
Page 86
ADSL R ONFIGURING THE OUTER • Connection Policy Enter the appropriate values for TCP/UDP sessions as described in the following table. Parameter Defaults Description Fragmentation 10 sec Configures the number of seconds that a packet half-open wait state structure remains active.
