3 Hardware Installation
This chapter shows you how to connect the VX-583WR ADSL wireless N router
and the appropriate environment for the VX-583WR ADSL wireless N router
installation.
1. Using a telephone line to connect the DSL port of THE VX-583WR ADSL
WIRELESS N ROUTER to the MODEM port of the splitter, and using a
other telephone line connect your telephone to the PHONE port of the
splitter, then connect the wall phone jack to the LINE port of the splitter.
The splitter comes with three connectors as below:
LINE: Connects to a wall phone jack (RJ-11 jack)
MODEM: Connects to the DSL jack of the VX-583WR ADSL wireless N
router
PHONE: Connects to a telephone set
2. Using an Ethernet Cable to connect the LAN port of the VX-583WR ADSL
wireless N router to your LAN or a PC with network card installed.
3. Connect the power cable to the PWR connector on the VX-583WR ADSL
wireless N router, then plug in the AC power adapter to the AC power outlet,
and then press the on-off button.
Notes: Without the splitter and certain situation, transient noise from
telephone can interfere with the operation of the VX-583WR ADSL
wireless N router, and may introduce noise to the telephone line.
To prevent this from happening, a small external splitter must be
connected to each telephone.

necessary. The default value for MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) is 1500 for
PPPoA and 1492 for PPPoE. Do not change these values unless your ISP asks you
to.
The gateway can be configured to disconnect if there is no activity for a specific period
of time by selecting the Dial on demand check box and entering the Inactivity
timeout. The entered value must be between 1 minute and 4320 minutes.
The PPP IP Extension is a special feature deployed by some service providers.
Unless your service provider specifically requires this setup, do not select it. If you
need to select it, the PPP IP Extension supports the following conditions:
It allows only one computer on the LAN.
The public IP address assigned by the remote using the PPP/IPCP
protocol is actually not used on the WAN PPP interface. Instead, it
is forwarded to the computer's LAN interface through DHCP. Only
one system on the LAN can be connected to the remote, since the
DHCP server within the ADSL gateway has only a single IP
address to assign to a LAN device.
NAPT and firewall are disabled when this option is selected.
The gateway becomes the default gateway and DNS server to the
computer through DHCP using the LAN interface IP address.
The gateway extends the IP subnet at the remote service provider to
the LAN computer. That is, the PC becomes a host belonging to the
same IP subnet.
