Static Routing
This allows you to select a data path to a particular network destination that will
remain in the routing table and never “age out”. If you wish to define a specific
route that will always be used for data traffic from your LAN to a specific
destination within your LAN (for example to another router or a server) or
outside your network (to a ISP defined default gateway for instance).
Default Routing
This allows you to choose a default path for incoming data packets for which the
destination address is unknown. This is particularly useful when if the Router
functions as the sole connection to the Internet.
ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)
The DSL-500 supports Bridged Ethernet over ATM 
(RFC1483), IP over ATM
(RFC1577) and PPP over ATM 
(RFC 2364). 
The Router can support up to eight
Virtual Circuit Connections (VCCs).
Precise ATM Traffic Shaping
Traffic shaping is a method of controlling the flow rate of ATM data cells. This
function helps to establish the Quality of Service for ATM data transfer.
G.hs (Auto-handshake)
This allows the Router to automatically choose either the G.lite or G.dmt ADSL
connection standards.
High Performance
Very high rates of data transfer are possible with the Router. Up to 8 Mbps
downstream bit rate using the G.dmt.
Full Network Management
The DSL-500 incorporates SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
support for web-based management and text-based network management via an
RS-232 or Telnet
 connection.
Telnet Connection
The Telnet enables a network manager to access the Router’s management
software remotely.
Easy Installation
The DSL-500 uses a web-based graphical user interface program for convenient
management access and easy set up. Any common web browser software can be
used to manage the Router.

Prepare for Installation
For the smoothest possible installation, assemble all the equipment and
information needed to set up the Router and establish the initial ADSL
connection before you begin. Everything needed for the installation is listed and
discussed in this chapter.
Microfilters and Splitters
Most ADSL clients will be required to install a simple device that prevents the
ADSL line from interfering with regular telephone services. These devices are
commonly referred to as microfilters or sometimes called (inaccurately) line
splitters. They are easy to install and use standard telephone connectors and
cable.
Some ADSL service providers will send a telecommunications technician to
modify the telephone line, usually at the point where the phone line enters the
building. If a technician has divided or split your telephone line into two separate
lines - one for regular telephone service and the other for ADSL – then you do not
need to use any type of filter device. Follow the instructions given to you by your
ADSL service provider about where and how you should connect the Modem to
the ADSL line.

22
Microfilters
Unless you are instructed to use a “line splitter” (see below), it will be necessary
to install a microfilter (low pass filter) device for each telephone or telephone
device (answering machines, Faxes etc.) that share the line with the ADSL
service. Microfilters are easy-to-install, in-line devices, which attach to the
telephone cable between the telephone and wall jack. Microfilters that install
behind the wall plate are also available. A typical in-line microfilter installation
is shown in the diagram below.
Microfilter Installation
Note: Do not install the microfilter between the Modem and the telephone jack.
Microfilters are only intended for use with regular telephones, Fax machines and other
regular telephone devices.

23
Line Splitter
If you are instructed to use a “line splitter”, you must install the device between
the Modem and the phone jack. Use standard telephone cable with standard RJ-
11 connectors. The splitter has three RJ-11 ports used to connect to the wall jack,
the Modem and if desired, a telephone or telephone device. The connection ports
are typically labeled as follows:
Line
 - This port connects to the wall jack.
ADSL
 – This port connects to the Modem.
Phone
 – This port connects to a telephone or other telephone device.
The diagram below illustrates the proper use of the splitter.

Additional Requirements
You will need a PC (referred to in this guide as the Manager PC) to set up and
use the Router. In addition, it will be necessary to configure the device using
information provided by your ADSL service provider. This information is used to
establish the parameters of the ADSL connection and identify the Router on the
WAN. The requirements for the PCs on your LAN are summarized below.
PC WORKSTATION REQUIREMENTS
You can use the Router with PCs that meet the conditions discussed here.
Operating System
The web-based management software can be used on PCs running one of the
following operating systems:
Microsoft
 Windows 95  Windows 98 SE  Windows 2000
Windows 98  Windows Me Windows NT 4.x
Web Browser
Any common web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 
or Netscape
Navigator 
can be used to configure the Router using the embedded web-based
management software.
Ethernet Adapter
All PCs using the Router for Internet access, including the Manager PC, must
have an Ethernet NIC (Network Interface Card) installed. Each computer on the
internal network must have TCP/IP Protocol enabled. If you have an existing
Ethernet set up, the PCs should already meet this requirement.
ADSL SETTINGS
Each ADSL client on a DSL network has a unique integer pair used by the DSL
network managers to provide dedicated bandwidth on the ATM network
backbone. This pair of numbers is sometimes called the VPI/VCI pair.
The Virtual Path Identifier
 (VPI) and a Virtual Channel Identifier
 (VCI)
must be entered during the configuration process.
ADSL SETTINGS
VPI value: VCI value:

CONNECTION METHOD
It is necessary to know the connection method used for the ADSL connection. The
connection method is also known as the ADSL Protocol, Encapsulation Protocol
or Encapsulation Method. These protocols are defined by “RFCs” which are
internationally recognized standards for networking protocols. You will be
required to configure the Router to use the correct method. PPP connections
require account information to be entered and stored in the device. Bridged
Ethernet connections require that the IP settings be set manually.
The Router supports three connection methods:
♦ 
PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516) used by default
♦ 
PPP over ATM (RFC 2364)
♦ 
Ethernet over ATM (RFC 1483)
CONNECTION METHOD
Protocol:     RFC 2516 Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
                     RFC 1483 Multi-protocol Encapsulation over ATM
                     RFC 2364 Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM
PPP CONNECTIONS (RFC 2516 & RFC 2364)
Account Information (User Name and Password)
For PPP connections, a User Name and Password for the user account are needed
to connect to the service provider’s network.
