Chapter 1- Getting to Know the DSL-2140/2140W
Your DSL-2140/2140W integrates high-speed 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating LAN
interface(s) and a high-speedADSL port. The DSL-2140/2140W is perfect for making
LAN-to-LAN connections to remote networks and for high-speed Internet browsing. The
DSL-2140/2140W provides lightning-fast Internet access to multiple users by combining Direct
Subscriber Line (DSL) and Network Address Translation (NAT).
The Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) allows easy management and is not
dependent on any single operating system to use.
1.1 Features of the DSL-2140/2140W
¾High Speed Internet Access
The DSL-2140/2140WADSL 2/2+ router support downstream transmission rates of up to
24Mbps and upstream transmission rates of 1Mbps.
¾PPPoE Support (RFC2516)
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) emulates a dial-up connection. It allows
your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to use its existing network configuration with newer
broadband technologies such as ADSL. The PPPoE driver on the DSL-2140/2140W is
transparent to the computers on the LAN. Computers see only Ethernet and are not aware of
PPPoE; you don’t have to manage PPPoE clients on individual computers.
¾Network Address Translation (NAT)
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the conversion of an Internet protocol (IP)
address used within one network, such as a private IP address used in a LAN, to a different IP
address known within another network, such as a public IP address used on the Internet.
¾Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the DSL-2140/2140W and other UPnP enabled
devices can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address and convey its capabilities to
other devices on the network.
¾10/100M Auto-negotiation Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface
Auto-negotiation allows the DSL-2140/2140W to detect incoming transmissions’ speeds
and make necessary adjustments without manual intervention. It also allows data transfer
rates of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode, depending on
your Ethernet network.
¾Dynamic DNS Support
With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a dynamic IP
address, allowing the host to be more easily accessed from other locations on the Internet.

Proprietary & Confidential Page 7 of 80
Revision: V1.0 Jan. 19 2008
You must register for this service with a Dynamic DNS client.
¾Multiple PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) Support
Your DSL-2140/2140W supports up to 8 PVCs.
¾ADSL Standards
♦Compliant to ITU-T G.992.1 (G.dmt), G.992.3 (ADSL2), G.992.4, and G.992.5
(ADSL2+) Annex A, B, I, J, L, and M
♦Supports Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (G.992.1); G.994.1
and G.996.1 (for ISDN only); G.991.1; G.lite (G992.2))
♦Supports OAM F4/F5 loop-back, AIS and RDI OAM cells
♦ATM Forum UNI 3.1/4.0 PVC
♦Supports up to 8 PVCs (UBR, CBR, VBR)
♦Multiple Protocols over AAL5 (RFC 1483)
♦PPP over AAL5 (RFC 2364)
♦PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516)
¾DHCP Support
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows individual clients (computers) to get
TCP/IP configuration information at start-up from a DHCP server. The DSL-2140/2140W has
its built-in DHCP server capability enabled by default. It can assign IP addresses, an IP default
gateway and DNS servers to DHCP clients. The DSL-2140/2140W can also act as a substitute
DHCP server (DHCP Relay), relaying IP address assignment from the actual DHCP server to
the clients.
¾IP Alias
IPAlias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same
Ethernet interface. The DSL-2140/2140W can support up to 3 logical LAN interfaces through
its physical Ethernet interface with the DSL-2140/2140W acting as the gateway for each
network.
¾IP Policy Routing (IPPR)
Normally, routing is based only on the destination address; the router forwards the packet
along the shortest path. IP Policy Routing (IPPR) is a method to override this routing behavior
and change the forwarding path based on policies defined by the network administrator.
¾Protocol Support
♦Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) link layer protocol
-PPP over PAP (RFC 1334)
-PPP over CHAP (RFC 1994)
♦RIP I/RIP II
♦IGMP Proxy
♦ICMP support
♦MIB II support (RFC 1213)

Two conventions identify what protocols a virtual circuit (VC) is carrying. Be sure to use
the multiplexing method your ISP requires.
3.3.6.1 VC-based Multiplexing
In VC-based multiplexing, by prior mutual agreement, each protocol is assigned to a
specific virtual circuit. For example, VC1 carries IP, etc. VC-based multiplexing may be
dominant in environments where dynamic creation of large numbers of ATM VCs is fast and
economical.
3.3.6.2 LLC-based Multiplexing
In LLC-based multiplexing, one VC carries multiple protocols with protocol-identifying
information contained in each packet header. While this method requires extra bandwidth and
