Before You Begin
1. If you purchased this Router to share your high-speed Internet connection with other
computers, you must have an established Internet account from an Internet Service
Provider (ISP).
2. It’s best to use the same computer that is connected to your router for configuring the
DSL-G604T Wireless ADSL Router. The DSL-G604T acts as a DHCP server and will
assign all the necessary IP address information on your network. See atthe Quick
Installation Guide or the Manual on the CD-ROM for setting each network adapter to
automatically obtain an IP address.

Configuring the WAN
Connection
Configure Connection 1 for PPPoE
PPP or Point-to-Point protocol is a standard method of establishing a
network connection/session between networked devices. It may be
worthwhile for the user to change the default name of Connection 1 to
something that states what connection type is being used, for example,
WAN_PPPoA, the name used in the example below. Notice the VPI and
VCI values are included in the name. It is not functionally necessary to
change the name of the connection, this is done merely to provide
descriptive reference.
In the Connection 1
window, type the
Username and
Password used to verify
the identity of your ISP
account. Click the Apply
button when you have
entered the information.
Enter the Username
and Password
assigned by your ISP.
Click Apply

9
To configure Connection 1 for PPPoE, follow the steps listed below.
Some of the settings do not need to be changed the first time the device
is set up, but can be changed later if you choose.
1. Click the Connection 1 button under WAN Setup to view the
default PPPoA Connection Setup configuration menu.
2. Select PPPoE from the Type: pull-down menu. The menu will
blink momentarily
3. Type in a Name: for the connection or use the default name in
the space provided (WAN_PPPoA used in the above example).
4. Under Options, enable NAT and/or Firewall by selecting the
corresponding selection box.
5. If you are told to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the values
given to you by your service provider. Many users will be able to
use the default settings.
6. Leave the default QoS values if you are unsure or the ISP did not
provide this information.

10
7. Do not change the PCR or SCR values unless you are required
to do so. If you are told to change these, type in the values given
to you by your service provider.
8. Type the Username and Password used to verify the identity of
your account. Typically, the Username is an account number
assigned by your ISP and appears in the form
account#@serviceprovider.com, while the Password may have
been chosen by the account holder. For most users, the
remaining settings will not need to be changed. See your ISP for
further information.
9. Click the Apply button when you have entered all the information.
The web browser will briefly go blank. You are now finished
changing setting for the primary WAN connection known as
Connection 1. It is now necessary to save the changes you just
made and restart the Router.
10. To save the changes made to Connection 1, click the Tools tab
and then click on the System Commands button. Click on the
Save All button to store the configuration settings. Click on Back
button to return to the System Commands menu.
Check the WAN connection status. Click the Status tab and then the
Connection Status button. Look under WAN to view the State of
Connection 1, it should read Connected. If the WAN connection state
does not appear to Connected after a few minutes, go back to the
Connection 1 Setup menu, check the settings and make sure they are
correct.
Configure Connection 1 for PPPoA
PPP or Point-to-Point protocol is a standard method of establishing a
network connection/session between networked devices. Different forms
of PPP include PPPoA and PPPoE (discussed below) involve an
authentication process that requires a username and password to gain
access to the network. PPPoA (PPP over ATM) as described in RFC
2364, is a method of using PPP on an ATM network. ATM is used for
many types of telecommunications services including ADSL.
To configure the WAN connection for PPPoA, perform the steps listed
below. Some of the settings do not need to be changed the first time the
device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose.

11
To configure the default connection type (PPPoA) for Connection 1,
follow the steps listed below. To change the connection type of
Connection 1 to an alternative type follow the instructions according to
the desired type as described below in Change the Connection Type.
1. Click the Connection 1 button under WAN Setup to view the
PPPoA Connection Setup menu pictured in the example above.
2. Type in a Name (WAN_PPPoA has been entered here) for the
connection or use the default name in the space provided.
3. Under Options, enable NAT and/or Firewall by selecting the
corresponding selection box.
4. If you are told to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the values
given to you by your service provider. Many users will be able to
use the default settings.
5. Leave the default QoS values if you are unsure or the ISP did not
provide this information.
6. Do not change the PCR or SCR values unless you are required
to do so. If you are told to change these, type in the values given
to you by your service provider.

7. Type the Username and Password used to verify the identity of
your account. Typically, the Username is an account number
assigned by your ISP and appears in the form
account#@serviceprovider.com, while the Password may have
been chosen by the account holder. For most users, the
remaining settings will not need to be changed. See your ISP for
further information.
8. Click the Apply button when you have entered all the information.
The web browser will briefly go blank. You are now finished
changing setting for the primary WAN connection known as
Connection 1. It is now necessary to save the changes you just
made and restart the Router.
9. To save the changes made to Connection 1, click the Tools tab
and then click on the System Commands button. Click on the
Save All button to store the configuration settings. Click on Back
button to return to the System Commands menu.
10. Check the WAN connection status. Click the Status tab and then
the Connection Status button. Look under WAN to view the
State of Connection 1, it should read Connected. If the WAN
connection state does not appear to Connected after a few
minutes, go back to the Connection 1 Setup menu, check the
settings and make sure they are correct.
Change the Connection Type
The default connection protocol used for the Router is Point-to-Point
Protocol over ATM (PPPoA). The menu used to configure a PPPoA
connection is the first menu to appear when you click on the Connection
1button in the Setup menu. The alternative connection types supported
by the Router are the PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), CLIP (Classical IP
over ATM or IPoA), DHCP (for WAN), Static (IP for WAN), and Bridge
connection types. There are two ways you may configure the WAN
connection to use these alternative types. You can create a New
Connection using the alternative connection type or you may configure
the Connection 1 settings to use the connection type of choice.
