INSTALLING BAS-XCONNECT EQUIPMENT (D-LINK DSL 502T) When you receive your DSL modem/router D-Link DSL 502T, it is already configured. The purpose of the following instruction is to help you connect the DSL equipment to your network. Detailed information, about your account and router configuration, can be found on the separate document Bas-XConnect Settings. Connecting ADSL router to you computer/network 1. Connect the power adapter to the power input at the back panel of the DSL-502T and then plug the other end of the power adapter to a wall outlet or power strip. After turning-on router, by pressing Power Button (on the rear panel), the Power LED will turn ON. 2. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into an Ethernet (LAN) port on the back panel of the DSL- 502T and the other end of the cable to an Ethernet/Network Adapter to your computer. Ethernet LED will turn ON. If you already have a computer network, using a switch or broadband router, you can use the Ethernet cable to connect your switch/broadband router with the ADSL router, and provide ADSL Internet to all computers in your network. To do this - insert one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back panel of DSL-502T and the other end of the cable to DSL port on your switch/broadband router (if your switch/broadband router doesn t have a DSL port use any free Ethernet port). Configuring IP settings After connecting your computer to the ADSL router you need to make sure that the network adapter in your computer is configured properly. The following section describes how to configure the network adapter to obtain an IP address automatically from the DSL-502T ADSL Router. Configure Windows XP From the Start menu on your desktop, go to Control Panel >> Network Connections (if you don t have Network Connections icon, click on Switch to Classic View option in menu on your left hand side. In Classic View you should be able to see Network Connections icon). Configure Windows Vista From the Start menu on your desktop, go to Network. Click the Network and Sharing Centre. From the Tasks Menu on the left side of the window, select Manage Network Connections. For Both Windows XP and Windows Vista Right click on the Local Area Connection and select the Properties option from the pull down menu.
In the General tab of the Local Area Connection Properties window, highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) under This connection uses the following items: by clicking on it once. Click on the Properties button. In General tab of Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window, select Obtain an IP address automatically by clicking once in the circle. Click the OK button.
Your computer is now ready. You can press OK on Local Area Connection Properties window and close Network Connections window. Connecting ADSL router to phone line Since ADSL and telephone services share the same copper wiring to carry their respective signals, a filtering mechanism may be necessary to avoid mutual interference. A low pass filter device NEEDS TO BE installed for each telephone (Fax, Answering machine, dialup modem) that shares the line with the ADSL line. These filters are easy to install, passive devices, which connect to the ADSL device and/or telephone, using standard telephone cable. If a filter isn t installed for these devices, any time your phone rings this may cause the ADSL connection to drop. There are two different type of low pass filter: ADSL splitter (Three port filter) and In Line filter. ADSL splitter (Three port filter) ADSL splitter is installed at the same point where the Router connects to the telephone line. Only a single filter is required. The connection ports are typically labeled as follows: Line This port connects to the wall jack. ADSL This port connects to the Router. Phone This port connects to a telephone or other telephone device.
The diagram above illustrates the proper use of this style of filter. Make certain the lines are properly connected. If you are unable to hear a dial tone with the telephone, check the connections to make sure they are securely attached and connected to the correct port. In-Line filter In line filters are used for each telephone or telephone device (answering machines, Faxes, dialup modem etc.) that shares the line with the ADSL service. These devices are attached to the telephone cable between the telephone and wall jack. A typical in line filter installation is shown in the diagram below. DSL and PBX switch If your telephone line (dedicated for ADSL) is currently entering a PBX switch, you should contact your phone technician. The ADSL splitter needs to be installed before the ADSL line enters the PBX switch (Picture below).
Front Panel Display After you have connected your DSL equipment, check the LED display on the front of the Router to confirm that the connections have been made. This will be shown with solid lights for the corresponding port. The table below explains the meaning of the LED indicators. Power Status ADSL (Link/Act) Ethernet (Link/Act) USB (Link/Act) Steady green light indicates the unit is powered on. When the device is powered off this remains dark. Lights steady green during power on self-test (POST). Once the connection status has been settled, the light will blink green. If the indicator lights steady green after the POST, the system has failed and the device should be rebooted. Steady green light indicates a valid ADSL connection. This will light after the ADSL negotiation process has been settled. A blinking green light indicates activity on the WAN (ADSL) interface. A solid green light indicates a valid link on startup. This light will blink when there is activity currently on the Ethernet port. Steady green light indicates a valid USB connection. A blinking green light indicates activity on the USB interface.
