informationneededtosetuptheRouter.If it is necessaryto reconfigure thedevice, all the necessaryinformation
can be easilyaccessed. Be sure tokeepthis informationsafe andprivate.
LowPassFilters
Since ADSL andtelephoneservices share the same copper wiringtocarrytheir respectivesignals, afiltering
mechanism maybe necessarytoavoid mutual interference. Alowpass filterdevice canbeinstalled foreach
telephone that shares theline with the ADSLline. These filtersareeasytoinstall passivedevices that connect to
the ADSLdevice and/ortelephoneusingstandardtelephone cable. Askyour service providerformore
informationabout theuse of low pass filters with yourinstallation.

computer.
Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter)
Anycomputer that usesthe Routermust be able toconnecttoit throughthe Ethernetport on theRouter. This
connectionisan Ethernet connectionandtherefore requires that your computerbe equipped withan Ethernet
port as well. Most notebook computers arenow sold withanEthernetport alreadyinstalled.Likewise, most fully
assembled desktop computers come withanEthernet NIC adapter as standard equipment. If yourcomputer does
nothave anEthernet port, youmust install anEthernet NIC adapter beforeyoucanuse theRouter. Ifyoumust
install an adapter, followthe installation instructions that come with the Ethernet NIC adapter.
AdditionalSoftware
It maybenecessarytoinstall software onyourcomputer that enables the computertoaccess theInternet.
Additionalsoftware must be installedif you are using the device asimple bridge. Forabridgedconnection,the
information neededto makeand maintainthe Internetconnectionisstoredonanother computer or gateway
device, not in the Router itself.
If yourADSL service isdelivered throughaPPPoE, PPPoAorCLIP (IPoA) connection, theinformationneeded
toestablish andmaintain the Internet connectioncanbestoredin the Router.In this case, it is not necessaryto
install softwareonyour computer. Itmayhowever benecessarytochange some settings in the device, including
account informationused to identifyandverifythe connection.
All connections to the Internet require a uniqueglobal IP address. For bridged connections, theglobal IP settings
must reside in aTCP/IPenabled device ontheLAN side ofthe bridge, suchas aPC, aserver, agatewaydevice
suchas a router orsimilarfirewallhardware. TheIPaddress canbe assigned in a number of ways. Your network
service provider will giveyouinstructionsabout anyadditional connectionsoftware orNICconfigurationthat
maybe required.
About CLIPConnections (RFC 1577)
Classical IP over ATM (CLIP)connectionsmayrequire global IPsettings forthe device. Your service provider
will give youIP settings informationifneeded.SomeCLIPconnections functionlikepeer-to-peerconnections
andtherefore donot require IP settingsonthe WANinterface.

Introduction
This section provides a brief description of the Router, its associatedtechnologies anda list of Routerfeatures.
Router Description and Operation
The DSL-564TADSL Router is designed toprovide asimple and cost-effectiveADSLInternet connectionfor
individual computers through the Ethernet ports, oruse it tobridge yourEthernetLAN totheInternet. The DSL-
564Tcombines the benefits ofhigh-speedADSLtechnologyandLANIP management inone compact and
convenientpackage. ADSL technologyenables manyinteractivemulti-mediaapplications suchas video
conferencing and collaborative computing.
The Router is easytoinstall anduse. The DSL-564T connects tocomputersoranEthernet LAN via astandard
Ethernetinterface. The ADSLconnection is made usingordinarytwisted-pair telephonelinewithstandard
connectors. Multiple PCs canbe networkedand connectedtothe Internet usingasingle Wide Area Network
(WAN) interface and single global IP address.
The Routersupportstransparent bridgingand canbe used forIP packetroutingover theInternet. Costsaving
features oftheRouter such asNAT (NetworkAddress Translator) andDHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) improve administrationefficiencyand improvesecurityforyourprivate network.The advanced
securityenhancements, packetfilteringandport redirection,canhelp protect your networkfrompotentially
devastatingintrusionsbymalicious agents from outsideyour network.
What isADSL?
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line(ADSL) is anaccess technologythat utilizes ordinarycoppertelephone
lines toenable broadbandhigh-speeddigital data transmissionandinteractive multimedia applicationsfor
business and residential customers.
ADSLgreatlyincreasesthe signal carryingcapacityofcoppertelephone lines withoutinterferingwithregular
telephone services. Forthe ADSLuser,this means fasterdownloadsandmorereliable connectivity.ADSL
devices make it possible toenjoybenefits such as high-speed Internet access without experiencinganyloss of
qualityordisruption of voice/fax telephone capabilities.
ADSL provides a dedicatedservice over asingle telephone lineoperatingat speedsof up to 8Mbps downstream
andup to640Kbpsupstream,dependingonlocal telephoneline conditions. Asecure point-to-pointconnection
is establishedbetween the user andthe central office ofthe service provider.
D-LinkADSL devices incorporate the recommendations ofthe ADSLForum regardingframing, data format,
andupper layer protocols.

Router Features
The DSL-564T ADSL Router utilizes the latest ADSL enhancements toprovide a reliableInternetportal suitable
formost small tomedium sizedoffices. DSL-564T advantages include:
• PPP (Point-to-PointProtocol) Security The DSL-564TADSL Router supportsPAP (Password
Authentication Protocol) andCHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) for PPP connections.
• DHCP Support Dynamic Host ConfigurationProtocolautomaticallyand dynamicallyassignsal LAN IP
settings toeachhost on your network. Thiseliminates theneed toreconfigureeveryhost wheneverchanges
in network topologyoccur.
• Network Address Translation (NAT) For small office environments, the DSL-564Tallows multiple
users on theLAN to access theInternetconcurrentlythroughasingle Internet account. Thisprovides
Internet access toeveryone in the office for the price of a single user.
NAT improvesnetworksecurityineffect byhiding theprivate networkbehind one global andvisible IP
address. NAT address mapping can alsobe used to linktwoIP domains via a LAN-to-LANconnection.
• TCP/IP (Transfer ControlProtocol/Internet Protocol) The DSL-564TsupportsTCP/IPprotocol, the
language used for the Internet. It is compatible with access servers manufacturedbymajor vendors.
• RIP-1/RIP-2 The DSL-564Tsupports both RIP-1 andRIP-2exchangeswith other routers. Usingboth
versions lets the Routertocommunicate with all RIPenableddevices.
• Static Routing This allows youtoselect adata pathtoaparticular network destinationthat will remain in
the routingtable andnever “age out”.Ifyouwishtodefine aspecific route that will alwaysbe usedfordata
traffic from yourLAN toaspecific destinationwithinyourLAN (forexample toanother routeror aserver)
oroutsideyour network(toa ISP defined default gatewayfor instance).
• Default Routing This allows you tochoose adefault pathforincoming data packets forwhich the
destination address is unknown. Thisis particularlyusefulwhenif the Router functionsasthesole
connection totheInternet.
• ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) The DSL-564T supports Bridged Ethernet over ATM (RFC1483),
IPover ATM(RFC1577) and PPP overATM (RFC 2364).
• Precise ATM Traffic Shaping Traffic shapingis a methodof controllingthe flow rate of ATMdata cells.
This functionhelps toestablish the QualityofService forATM data transfer.
• G.hs (Auto-handshake) This allows the Router toautomaticallychoose eithertheG.liteorG.dmt ADSL
connection standards.
• High Performance Veryhighrates ofdata transfer are possible with theRouter. Up to eightMbps
downstream bit rate usingtheG.dmt.
• FullNetwork Management The DSL-564T incorporates SNMP(Simple Network Management Protocol)
support forweb-based management andtext-basednetworkmanagement via anRS-232orTelnet
connection.
• Telnet Connection The Telnet enables anetworkmanagertoaccess the Router smanagement software
remotely.
• EasyInstallation TheDSL-564Tuses aweb-basedgraphical user interface programforconvenient
management access and easyset up.Anycommon web browser software canbe usedtomanage the Router.
