AVVERTIMENTI PER GLI UTILIZZATORI
L’utilizzo della banda di frequenza dei 2.4 GHz per applicazioni di tipo Radio LAN sul mercato Italiano, è
regolamentato dal Ministero delle Comunicazioni secondo il Nuovo Piano Nazionale Gestioni Frequenze relativo al
D.M. dell’8 Luglio 2002 e dalle relative modifiche come dal Decreto del Ministero delle Comunicazioni del 20
Febbraio 2003 (nota 158).
Viene definito come Radio Local Area Network (di seguito denominate “Radio LAN” o “R-LAN”) un sistema di
comunicazioni in rete locale mediante radiofrequenze che utilizza apparati a corto raggio secondo le caratteristiche
di armonizzazione e tecniche previste dal vigente Piano nazionale di ripartizione delle frequenze, nelle seguenti
bande di frequenza: 2.400,0 – 2.483,5 MHz (brevemente banda a 2.4 GHz).
I sistemi Radio LAN sono regolati da apposite normative. Principalmente valgono le normative F.C.C. per gli U.S.A.,
il Canada, e gli altri paesi aderenti alle F.C.C., come gli ex paesi U.R.S.S.; mentre le norme E.T.S. 300T-328-2 e
correlate, emanate dall'organo Europeo E.T.S.I., valgono per i paesi dell'Unione Europea, Giappone e per i paesi
aderenti a queste normative.
La normativa tecnica ETS 300T-328-2 impone di non irradiare con una potenza E.I.R.P. superiore ai 100 mW
(equivalente a 20 dBm).
In linea di principio inoltre impone agli apparati Radio LAN, di non trasmettere con una potenza elettrica effettiva
superiore ai 50 mW (equivalente a 17 dBm); questo perché l'antenna a dipolo più semplice, che di solito li
accompagna, ha generalmente un guadagno in trasmissione pari a circa 2.5 dBi, che fa si che la potenza E.I.R.P.
trasmessa salga a circa 80 mW (per la precisione 19.2 dBm).
Per questo motivo su tutto il territorio dell'Unione Europea, ed anche in Italia, è assolutamente vietato utilizzare
antenne che abbiano un guadagno in trasmissione elevato (in linea di massima diciamo superiore ai 5 dBi), tale da
portare la potenza trasmessa E.I.R.P. oltre i 100 mW (equivalente a 20 dBm).
Nel caso in cui invece sia possibile regolare il livello di potenza trasmessa dagli Access Point, viene data la
possibilità di utilizzare antenne ad alto guadagno attenendosi strettamente ad una serie di istruzioni di seguito
riportate che consentono questo utilizzo rimanendo comunque all’interno della potenza massima trasmessa E.I.R.P.
pari e non superiore a 100mW (20dBm).
CALCOLO DELLA POTENZA E.I.R.P. IN EMISSIONE
La formula di calcolo per ottenere l’E.I.R.P. effettivo è la seguente:
E.I.R.P. (dBm) = Ptx (dBm) + Gtx (dBi) dove
Ptx = Potenza trasmessa al connettore dell’antenna di trasmissione
Gtx = Guadagno dell’antenna di trasmissione
vii

Introduction
This section provides a brief description of the Router, its associated technologies and a list of Router
features.
What is ADSL?
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is an access technology that utilizes ordinary copper
telephone lines to enable broadband high-speed digital data transmission and interactive multimedia
applications for business and residential customers. For ADSL services, it is not necessary to install
expensive ne cabling or condition the line in any ay.
ADSL greatly increases the signal carrying capacity of copper telephone lines ithout interfering ith
regular telephone services. For the ADSL user, this means faster do nloads and more reliable
connectivity. ADSL devices make it possible to enjoy benefits such as high-speed Internet access
ithout experiencing any loss of quality or disruption of voice/fax telephone capabilities.
ADSL provides a dedicated service over a single telephone line operating at speeds of up to 8 Mbps
do nstream and up to 640 Kbps upstream, depending on local telephone line conditions. A secure
point-to-point connection is established bet een 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.
Router Description and Operation
The DSL-G604T ADSL Router is designed to provide a simple, cost-effective and secure ADSL
Internet connection for your small- to medium-sized private net ork. The DSL-G604T combines the
benefits of high-speed ADSL connection technology and TCP/IP routing ith a conventional Ethernet
interface in one compact and convenient package. ADSL connection technology enables many
interactive multi-media applications such as video conferencing and collaborative computing.
The Router is easy to install and use. The DSL-G604T connects to an Ethernet LAN via a standard
Ethernet 10BASE-T interface using RJ-45 connectors. The ADSL connection is made using ordinary
t isted-pair telephone line ith standard RJ-11 connectors. This arrangement means that several PCs
can be net orked and connected to the Internet using a single WAN interface and IP address.
Low Pass Filters
Since ADSL and telephone services share the same copper iring to carry their respective signals, a
filtering mechanism may be necessary to avoid mutual interference. A lo pass filter device can be
installed for each telephone that shares the line ith the ADSL line. These filters are easy to install
passive devices that connect to the ADSL device and/or telephone using standard telephone cable. Ask
your service provider for more information about the use of lo pass filters ith your installation.
Appendix B provides illustrated examples of ho to install t o common styles of lo pass filters.
Operating Systems
The DSL-G604T uses an HTML-based eb interface for setup and management. The eb
configuration manager may be accessed using any operating system capable of running eb bro ser
soft are, including Windo s 98 SE, Windo s ME, Windo s 2000, and Windo s XP.
13

DSL-G604T Wireless ADSL Router Manual
Web Browser
Any common eb bro ser can be used to configure the Router using the eb configuration
management soft are. The program is designed to ork best ith more recently released bro sers
such as Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, Microsoft Internet Explorer® version 5.0, Netscape Navigator®
version 4.7, or later versions. The eb bro ser must have JavaScript enabled. JavaScript is enabled by
default on many bro sers. Make sure JavaScript has not been disabled by other soft are (such as
virus protection or eb user security packages) that may be running on your computer.
Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter)
Any computer that uses the Router must be able to connect to it through the Ethernet port on the
Router. This connection is an Ethernet connection and therefore requires that your computer be
equipped ith an Ethernet port as ell. Most notebook computers are no sold ith an Ethernet port
already installed. Like ise, most fully assembled desktop computers come ith an Ethernet NIC
adapter as standard equipment. If your computer does not have an Ethernet port, you must install an
Ethernet NIC adapter before you can use the Router. If you must install an adapter, follo the
installation instructions that come ith the Ethernet NIC adapter.
Additional Software
It may be necessary to install soft are on your computer that enables the computer to access the
Internet. Additional soft are must be installed if you are using hat is called a “bridged” connection.
For a bridged connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is
stored on your computer, not in the Router. This type of connection is similar to the arrangement used
for analog dial-up modems, but the connection speed is much faster. Various terms are to describe a
bridged ADSL connection including the term “RFC 1483 Bridge” hich is used in this guide.
About Bridged Ethernet Connections (RFC 1483)
Using this method, the DSL-G604T acts as a transparent bridge, and is invisible to other devices on
both the WAN and LAN side of the bridge. It is therefore necessary to provide some means of
acquiring global IP settings for your account.
All connections to the Internet require a unique global IP address. For bridged connections, the global
IP settings must reside in a TCP/IP enabled device on the LAN side of the bridge, such as a PC, server
or fire all hard are. The IP address can be assigned in a number of ays. Your net ork service
provider ill give you instructions about any additional connection soft are or NIC configuration that
may be required.
Account Information (User Name and Password)
Most users ill need to supply a user name and pass ord used to access the service provider’s
net ork (and ultimately, the Internet). This information is stored either in the Router’s memory or on
your computer depending on the type of ADSL connection you have.

Wireless LAN Basics
Some basic understanding of 802.11g ireless technology and terminology is useful hen you are
setting up the Router or any ireless access point. If you are not familiar ith ireless net orks
please take a fe minutes to learn the basics.
Radio Transmission
Wireless LAN or WLAN devices use electromagnetic aves ithin a broad, unlicensed range of the
radio spectrum to transmit and receive radio signals. When a ireless access point is present, it
becomes a base station for the WLAN nodes in its broadcast range. WLAN nodes transmit digital data

using FM (frequency modulation) radio signals. WLAN devices generate a carrier ave and modulate
this signal using various techniques. Digital data is superimposed onto the carrier signal. This radio
signal carries data to WLAN devices ithin range of the transmitting device. The antennae of WLAN
devices listen for and receive the signal. The signal is demodulated and the transmitted data extracted.
The transmission method used by the access point is called Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
and operates in a range of the radio spectrum bet een 2.4GHz and 2.5GHz for transmission. See the
technical specifications for more details on ireless operation.
Range
Range should not be a problem in most homes or small offices. If you experience lo or no signal
strength in some areas, consider positioning the Router in a location bet een the WLAN devices that
maintains a roughly equal straight-line distance to all devices that need to access the Router through
the ireless interface. Adding more 802.11g access points to rooms here the signal is eak can
improve signal strength. Read the section about placement of the Router titled Location in the next
chapter, Hard are Installation, for more information.
SSID
Wireless net orks use an SSID (Service Set Identifier) to allo ireless devices to roam ithin the
range of the net ork. Wireless devices that ish to communicate ith each other must use the same
SSID. Several access points can be set up using the same SSID so that ireless stations can move
from one location to another ithout losing connection to the ireless net ork.
The DSL-G604T operates in Infrastructure mode. It controls net ork access on the ireless interface
in its broadcast area. It ill allo access to the ireless net ork to devices using the correct SSID
after a negotiation process takes place. By default he DSL-G604T broadcasts its SSID so that any
ireless station in range can learn the SSID and ask permission to associate ith it. Many ireless
adapters are able to survey or scan the ireless environment for access points. An access point in
Infrastructure mode allo s ireless devices to survey that net ork and select an access point ith
hich to associate. You may disable SSID broadcasting in the eb manager’s ireless menu.
Wireless Security
Various security options are available on the DSL-G604T including open or WEP, WPA, and WPA-
PSK. Authentication may use an open system or a shared key. For details on these methods and ho
to use them, please read the ireless LAN configuration information in chapters 3 (Basic Router
Configuration) and 4 (Advanced Router Configuration) belo .
About 802.11g Wireless
Today's 11-megabits-per-second 802.11b ireless net orks are fine for broadband Internet access
( hich typically tops out at about 1 mbps) but rather slo for large internal file transfers or streaming
video. Ho ever, 54-mbps, corporate-oriented 802.11a is expensive--and because its radio uses the 5-
GHz band and 802.11b uses the 2.4-GHz band, upgrading to an 802.11a net ork means either
scrapping 802.11b gear or buying even-pricier hard are that can support both standards.
But 802.11g promises the same speed as 802.11a and the ability to coexist ith 802.11b equipment on
one net ork, since it too uses the 2.4-GHz band.
802.11g is an extension to 802.11b, the basis of many ireless LANs in existence today. 802.11g ill
broaden 802.11b's data rates to 54 Mbps ithin the 2.4 GHz band using OFDM (orthogonal frequency
division multiplexing) technology. Because of back ard compatibility, an 802.11b radio card ill
interface directly ith an 802.11g access point (and vice versa) at 11 Mbps or lo er depending on
range. You should be able to upgrade the ne er 802.11b access points to be 802.11g compliant via
relatively easy firm are upgrades.
18

DSL-G604T Wireless ADSL Router Manual
Similar to 802.11b, 802.11g operates in the 2.4GHz band, and the transmitted signal uses
approximately 30MHz, hich is one third of the band. This limits the number of non-overlapping
802.11g access points to three, hich is the same as 802.11b.
19

Hardware Installation
The DSL-G604T functions on t o separate net orks, as an Ethernet LAN and as an ADSL WAN.
When deciding here to put the Router, the user must take into account the fact that it is connected to
these three net orks ith three types of media. Ethernet cables connect the Router to computers and
net ork devices, and the ADSL line connects it to a all socket. In addition, the device must be near
an AC outlet for po er. Ho to accommodate these ired connections is often not a complicated
matter, ho ever, the added dimension of ireless communication does complicate the decision of
Router placement.
Location
The Router can be placed on a shelf or desktop and ideally you should be able to see the LED
indicators on the front if you need to vie them for troubleshooting.
Networ Connection
Complete the connection to the net ork through the ADSL port and the Ethernet port on the back of
the Router.
Connect ADSL Line
Use the ADSL cable included ith the Router to connect it to a telephone all socket. Plug one end of
the cable into the ADSL port (RJ-11 receptacle) on the rear panel of the Router and insert the other
end into the RJ-11 all socket. If you are using a lo pass filter device, follo the instructions
included ith the device or given to you by your service provider. The ADSL connection represents
the WAN interface. It is the physical link to the ISP’s net ork backbone and ultimately to the Internet.
Connect Router to Ethernet
The Router may be connected to any 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet LAN. Any connection to an Ethernet
concentrating device such as a s itch or hub must operate at a speed of 10/100 Mbps only. When
connecting the Router to any Ethernet device that is capable of operating at speeds higher than
10Mbps, be sure that the device has auto-negotiation (NWay) enabled for the connecting port.
Use standard t isted-pair cable ith RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 port on the Router is a crossed port
(MDI-X). Follo standard Ethernet guidelines hen deciding hat type of cable to use to make this
connection. When connecting the Router directly to a PC or server use a normal straight-through
cable. You should use a crossed cable hen connecting the Router to a normal (MDI-X) port on a
s itch or hub. Use a normal straight-through cable hen connecting it to an uplink (MDI-II) port on a
hub or s itch.
The rules governing Ethernet cable lengths apply to the LAN to Router connection. Be sure that the
cable connecting the LAN to the Router does not exceed 100 meters.
Hub or Switch to Router Connection
Connect the Router to an uplink port (MDI-II) on an Ethernet hub or s itch ith a straight-through
cable as sho n in the diagram belo :
