D-Link Express EtherNetwork DI-604 User manual

Before You Begin
1. If you purchased this router to share your high-speed Internet connection with
other computers, you must have either an Ethernet-based Cable or a DSL modem
with an established Internet account from an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
2. It’s best to use the same computer that is connected to your modem for
configuring the DI-604 router. The DI-604 Router acts as a DHCP server and will
assign all the necessary IP address information on your network. See Appendix
at the end of this Quick Installation Guide or the Manual on the CD-ROM for
setting each network adapter to automatically obtain an IP address.

DI-604 and then plug the other end of the power adapter to a wall outlet or
power strip. The Power LED will turn ON to indicate proper operation.
B. 1. Power off your Cable or DSL modem; some devices may not have a on/off
switch and will require you to unplug the power adapter. Now, the DI-604
should be powered on and the Cable / DSL modem should be turned off.
2. Cable / DSL modem (Power Off) – DI-604 (Power On)
Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet jack located on the Cable / DSL
modem. After the Ethernet cable is securely connected, power on the Cable /
DSL modem by turning on the unit or plugging in the power adapter.
3. Cable / DSL modem (Power On) – DI-604 (Power On)
Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable to the WAN PORT on the back
panel of the DI-604. The WAN LED light will illuminate to indicate proper
connection. If the WAN LED is not illuminated, please go back and step B and
repeat its instructions.
C. Insert an Ethernet cable to LAN port 1 on the back panel of the DI-604 and an
available Ethernet port on the network adapter in the computer you will use to
configure the DI-604. The LED light for LAN Port 1 will illuminate to indicate
proper connection. (Note: The LAN Ports on the DI-604 are Auto-MDI/MDIX.
Meaning you can use a straight-through or crossover-Ethernet cable to the
LAN Ports.)
