Information You Will Need About Your LAN or Computer

Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC)
If your computer has an Ethernet NIC, you can connect the DSL-500B to this Ethernet port using an Ethernet cable.
You can also use the Ethernet port on the DSL-500B to connect to other computer or Ethernet device.
DHCP Client Status
Your DSL-500B ADSL Router is configured to be a DHCP server, by default. 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-500B will assign are from 192.168.254.1 to 192.168.254.253. Your computer (or computers) needs to be
configured to obtain an IP address automatically (that is, they must be configured as DHCP clients.)
It is recommended that you 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-500B ADSL Router.
