Features
•PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) Security – The DSL-2640B ADSL Router supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol) for PPP connections. The Router also supports MSCHAP.
•DHCP Support – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol automatically and dynamically assigns all LAN IP settings to each host on your network. This eliminates
the need to reconfigure every host whenever changes in network topology occur.
•Network Address Translation (NAT) – For small office environments, the DSL-2640B allows multiple users on the LAN to access the Internet concurrently
through a single Internet account. This provides Internet access to everyone in the office for the price of a single user. NAT improves network security in effect by
hiding the private network behind one global and visible IP address. NAT address mapping can also be used to link two IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN connection.
•TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) – The DSL-2640B supports TCP/IP protocol, the language used for the Internet. It is compatible with
access servers manufactured by major vendors.
•RIP-1/RIP-2 – The DSL-2640B supports both RIP-1 and RIP-2 exchanges with other routers. Using both versions lets the Router to communicate with all RIP
enabled devices.
•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 an 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.
•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.
•Full Network Management – The DSL-2640B incorporates SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) support for web-based management and text-based
network management.
•Easy Installation – The DSL-2640B 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.

Installation
This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the Wireless ADSL Router is very important. Do not place the Router in an enclosed area such
as a closet, cabinet, or in the attic or garage. Place the Wireless ADSL Router in a location where it can be easily connected to Ethernet devices, the telephone line as
well as to a power source.
Mounting the Device on the Wall
Step 1 There are two slots on the device bank. Install two screws on the wall according to the positions of the slots. Keep the two screws at the same horizontal level.
Step 2 Gently fasten the two slots with the screws.
Step 3 Slowly take your hands off the device. Ensure that the device is properly mounted on the wall with the support of the screws.
See the following figure:

Installation
D-Link DSL-2640B User Manual 6
Installation Notes
In order to establish a connection to the Internet it will be necessary to provide information to the Router that will be stored in its memory. For some users, only their
account information (Username and Password) is required. For others, various parameters that control and define the Internet connection will be required. You can print
out the two pages below and use the tables to list this information. This way you have a hard copy of all the information needed to setup the Router. If it is necessary to
reconfigure the device, all the necessary information can be easily accessed. Be sure to keep this information safe and private.
Low Pass Filters
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 can be installed for each telephone that shares the line with 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 low pass filters with your installation.
Operating Systems
The DSL-2640B uses an HTML-based web interface for setup and management. The web configuration manager may be accessed using any operating system capable
of running web browser software, including Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.
Web Browser
Any common web browser can be used to configure the Router using the web configuration management software. The program is designed to work best with more
recently released browsers such as Opera, Microsoft Internet Explorer® version 6.0, Netscape Navigator® version 6.2.3, or later versions. The web browser must have
JavaScript enabled. JavaScript is enabled by default on many browsers. Make sure JavaScript has not been disabled by other software (such as virus protection or web
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 with an Ethernet port as well. Most notebook computers are now sold with an Ethernet port already installed. Likewise, most
fully assembled desktop computers come with 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, follow the installation instructions that come with the Ethernet NIC adapter.
Additional Software
It may be necessary to install software on your computer that enables the computer to access the Internet. Additional software must be installed if you are using the
device as a simple bridge. For a bridged connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored on another computer or gateway
device, not in the Router itself.
If your ADSL service is delivered through a PPPoE or PPPoA connection, the information needed to establish and maintain the Internet connection can be stored in the
Router. In this case, it is not necessary to install software on your computer. It may however be necessary to change some settings in the device, including account
information used to identify and verify the connection.
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

D-Link DSL-2640B User Manual 7
side of the bridge, such as a PC, a server, a gateway device such as a router or similar firewall hardware. The IP address can be assigned in a number of ways. Your
network service provider will give you instructions about any additional connection software or NIC configuration that may be required.
Wireless LAN
Computers using the Wireless network can access the Internet or use the embedded 802.1g wireless access point. Wireless workstations must have an 802.1g or
802.1b wireless network card installed to use the Wireless ADSL Router. In addition the workstations must be configured to operate on the same channel and SSID as
the Wireless ADSL Router. If wireless security is used, the wireless workstations must be properly configured for the security settings used.

Installation
D-Link DSL-2640B User Manual 8
Information you will need from your ADSL service provider
Username
This is the Username used to log on to your ADSL service provider’s network. Your ADSL service provider uses this to identify your account.
Password
This is the Password used, in conjunction with the Username above, to log on to your ADSL service provider’s network. This is used to verify the identity of your account.
WAN Setting / Connection Type
These settings describe the method your ADSL service provider uses to transport data between the Internet and your computer. Most users will use the default settings.
You may need to specify one of the following WAN Setting and Connection Type configurations (Connection Type settings listed in parenthesis):
•PPPoE/PPPoA (PPPoE LLC, PPPoE VC-Mux, PPPoA LLC or PPPoA VC-Mux)
•Dynamic IP Address (1483 Bridged IP LLC, 1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux)
•Static IP Address (1483 Bridged IP LLC, 1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux, 1483 Routed IP LLC (IPoA) or 1483 Routed IP VC-Mux)
•Bridge Mode (1483 Bridged IP LLC or 1483 Bridged IP VC Mux)
Modulation Type
ADSL uses various standardized modulation techniques to transmit data over the allotted signal frequencies. Some users may need to change the type of modulation
used for their service. The default DSL modulation (Auto Synch-Up) used for the Router automatically detects all types of ADSL, ADSL2, and ADSL2+ modulation.
Security Protocol
This is the method your ADSL service provider will use to verify your Username and Password when you log on to their network. Your Router supports the PAP and
CHAP protocols.
VPI
Most users will not be required to change this setting. The Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) is used in conjunction with the Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) to identify the data
path between your ADSL service provider’s network and your computer. If you are setting up the Router for multiple virtual connections, you will need to configure the
VPI and VCI as instructed by your ADSL service provider for the additional connections. This setting can be changed in the WAN Settings window of the web
management interface.
VCI
Most users will not be required to change this setting. The Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) used in conjunction with the VPI to identify the data path between your ADSL
service provider’s network and your computer. If you are setting up the Router for multiple virtual connections, you will need to configure the VPI and VCI as instructed by
your ADSL service provider for the additional connections. This setting can be changed in the WAN Settings window of the web management interface.

D-Link DSL-2640B User Manual 11
Network Connections
Connect ADSL Line
Use the ADSL cable included with the Router to connect it to a telephone wall socket or receptacle. 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 wall socket. If you are using a low pass filter device, follow the instructions included with the device or
given to you by your service provider. The ADSL connection represents the WAN interface, the connection to the Internet. It is the physical link to the service provider’s
network backbone and ultimately to the Internet.
Connect Router to Ethernet
The Router may be connected to a single computer or Ethernet device through the 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet port on the rear panel. Any connection to an Ethernet
concentrating device such as a switch 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 twisted-pair cable with
RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 port on the Router is a crossed port (MDI-X). Follow standard Ethernet guidelines when deciding what 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 when connecting the Router to a
normal (MDI-X) port on a switch or hub. Use a normal straight-through cable when connecting it to an uplink (MDI-II) port on a hub or switch. 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 switch with a straight-through cable. If you wish to reserve the uplink port on the switch or hub for
another device, connect to any on the other MDI-X ports (1x, 2x, etc.) with a crossed cable.
Computer to Router Connection
You can connect the Router directly to a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet adapter card (NIC) installed on a PC using the Ethernet cable provided.
Wireless Connection to Router
The Router’s embedded 802.11g wireless access point should be configured to suit the local wireless network. All 802.11g or 802.11b devices that associate with the
Router’s wireless access point must have the same SSID and channel. If wireless security is used, the wireless clients must be configured with the correct security
information to use the Router. More information on configuring the wireless settings is found later in this manual.

Web Configuration
D-Link DSL-2640B User Manual 12
Introduction to Web Configuration
The first time you setup the Router. It is recommended that you configure the WAN connection using a single computer, to ensure that both the computer and the Router
are not connected to the LAN. Once the WAN connection operates properly, you may continue to make changes to Router configuration, including IP settings and DHCP
setup. This chapter is concerned with using your computer to configure the WAN connection. The following chapter describes the various menus used to configure and
monitor the Router, including how to change IP settings and DHCP server setup.
Preparation Before Login
Before accessing the Modem, ensure the communication between PC and Modem is normal. Check the communication as follows.
Configure the IP address of the PC as 192.168.1.X (2~254), net mask as
255.255.255.0, gateway address as 192.168.1.1 (for customized version,
configure them according to the actual version).
Enter arp -a in the DOS window to check whether the PC can read the MAC
address of the Modem.
Ping the MAINTENANCE IP address (192.168.1.1 by default) of the
Modem.
If the PC can read the MAC address of the Modem and can ping through the
MAINTENANCE IP address of the Modem, that means the communication
of the PC and the Modem is normal.
Note: When you manage the Modem through Web, you must keep the Modem power on. Otherwise, the Modem may be damaged.
