(page 1) 3. Check the IP settings on your computer and change them if necessary so the computer can access the web-based software built into the Router. Please refer to the third chapter, Configuring the Router for the First Time for proper IP settings. Otherwise, your computer will not be able to communicate with the device or use the web browser for Internet access. (Page 3) 4. Use the web-based management software to configure the device to suit the requirements of your ADSL account as instructed by your service provider. Please follow the instructions given by your service provider to establish a WAN connection to ISP’s network.(Page 10) Product Overview Router Description and Operation The DSL-604+ ADSL Router is designed to provide a simple, cost-effective and secure ADSL Internet connection for wired (Ethernet) and wireless (802.11b) stations on your network. The DSL-604+ combines high- speed ADSL connection technology, TCP/IP routing and 802.11b wireless connectivity in one compact unit. The Router is easy to install and use. The DSL-604+ connects to an Ethernet LAN via a standard Ethernet 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX interface using RJ-45 connectors. The ADSL connection is made using ordinary twisted-pair telephone line with standard RJ-11 connectors. This arrangement allows wired and wireless workstations to share network resources and connect to the Internet using a single WAN interface and IP address. The Router supports transparent bridging or it can be used for IP packet routing over the Internet. Cost saving features of the Router such as NAT (Network Address Translator) and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) improve efficiency and security. The advanced security enhancements, packet filtering and port redirection, can help protect your network from potentially devastating intrusions by malicious agents from outside your network. All the 802.11b wireless settings for the Router are entered on a single page in the web manager. Security for the wireless interface comes in two forms, WEP Encryption and MAC Address Control.

v Product Features The DSL-604+ ADSL Router utilizes the latest ADSL enhancements and router technologies to provide a robust Internet gateway suitable for most small to medium sized offices. DHCP Support (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically and dynamically assigns al LAN IP settings to each host on your network. This eliminates the need to reconfigure every host whenever changes in network topology occur. Network Address Translation (NAT) For small office environments, the DSL-604+ allows multiple users on the LAN to access the Internet concurrently through a single Internet account. This provides Internet access to everyone in the office for the price of a single user. NAT improves network security in effect by hiding the private network behind one global and visible IP address. NAT address mapping can also be used to link two IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN connection. TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) The DSL-604+ supports TCP/IP protocol, the language used for the Internet. It is compatible with access servers manufactured by major vendors. Default Routing This allows you to choose a default path for incoming data packets for which the destination address is unknown. This is particularly useful when if the Router functions as the sole connection to the Internet. High Performance Very high rates of data transfer are possible with the Router. Up to 8 Mbps downstream bit rate using the G.dmt. Easy Installation The DSL-604+ uses a web-based graphical user interface program for convenient management access and easy set up. Any common web browser software can be used to manage the Router. Wireless Features • Fully IEEE 802.11b compatible. • Wireless data rate more than 22 Mbps—Support 4X mode • Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum technology • Operating in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz ISM band • Supports 64/128 bits WEP security and user authentication • Efficient antenna provides a range of per cell operation up to 100 meter indoor

vi Wireless Overview (802.11b) Introduction to 802.11b Wireless The IEEE 802.11b standard is the most widely used standard for wireless LANs today. A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits data using radio signals instead of cables. WLAN technology is commonly used on home, small office and large corporate networks. WLAN devices have a high degree of mobility and flexibility that allow network to be quickly set up or dismantled and allow them to roam freely throughout the network. Wireless LAN users can use the same network applications used on an Ethernet LAN. 802.11b adapter cards used on laptop and desktop computers support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards. For most users, there is no functional difference between a computer attached to a wired Ethernet LAN or a mobile 802.11b workstation except that hardware is not physically attached to the network. For most networks however, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to be able to link to the wired Ethernet LAN to use shared resources such as servers, printers or an Internet connection. The DSL-604+ unites Ethernet and 802.11b wireless private networks with an Internet connection. The DSL-604+ supports data rates of up to 22 Mbps for wireless operation when used in conjunction with other D-Link AirPlus devices. Wireless LAN Basics Some basic understanding of 802.11b wireless technology and terminology when is useful when you are setting up the Router or any wireless access point. If you are not familiar with wireless networks please take a few minutes to learn the basics. Radio Transmission WLAN devices use electromagnetic waves within a broad, unlicensed range of the radio spectrum to transmit and receive radio signals. When a wireless access point is present, it becomes a base station for the WLAN nodes in its broadcast range. WLAN nodes transmit digital data using FM (frequency modulation) radio signals. WLAN devices generate a carrier wave and modulate this signal using various techniques. In this way, digital data can then be superimposed onto the carrier signal. This radio signal carries data to WLAN devices within range of the transmitting device. The antennae of WLAN devices listen for and receive the signal. The signal is demodulated and the transmitted data extracted. The transmission method used by the access point is called Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and operates in a range of the radio spectrum between 2.4GHz and 2.5GHz for transmission. DSSS is preferred method used on many 802.11b devices. Range Range should not be a problem in most homes or small offices. If you experience low or no signal strength in some areas, consider positioning the device in a location between the WLAN devices maintaining a roughly equal straight-line distance to all devices that need to access the Router through the wireless interface. Adding more 802.11b access points to rooms where the signal is weak can improve signal strength. Read the section about placement of the Router titled Location in the next chapter, Hardware Installation, for more information. SSID Wireless networks use an SSID (Service Set Identifier) to allow wireless devices to roam within the range of the network. Wireless devices that wish to communicate with each other must use the same SSID. Several access points can be set up using the same SSID so that wireless stations can move from one location to another without losing connection to the wireless network. The DSL-604+ operates in Infrastructure mode. It controls network access on the wireless interface in its broadcast area. It will allow access to the wireless network to devices using the correct SSID after a negotiation process takes place. The DSL-604+ broadcasts its SSID so that any wireless station in range can learn the SSID and ask permission to associate with it. Many wireless adapters are able to survey or scan the wireless environment for access points. An access point in Infrastructure mode allows wireless devices to survey that network and select an access point with which to associate.

vii It is important to understand the difference between the SSID and a BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier) or Preferred BSSID. The Preferred BSSID is defined by wireless stations to designate an access point used for access to the wireless network. The Preferred BSSID is the MAC address of the access point. Therefore any wireless stations (wireless clients) that use the DSL-604+ through the wireless interface must use its MAC address for the Preferred BSSID. A wireless station that scans the network for available access points may present the user with a choice of access point identified by their BSSID. ADSL Technology Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a broadband technology that utilizes ordinary copper telephone lines to enable high-speed digital data transmission and interactive multimedia applications for business and residential customers. ADSL greatly increases the signal carrying capacity of copper telephone lines without interfering with regular telephone services for faster downloads and more reliable connectivity. ADSL devices make it possible to enjoy benefits such as high-speed Internet access without experiencing any loss of quality or disruption of voice/fax telephone capabilities. ADSL provides a dedicated service over a single telephone line operating at speeds of up to 8 Mbps downstream and up to 640 Kbps upstream, depending on local telephone line conditions. A secure point-to-point connection is established between the user and the central office of the service provider. D-Link ADSL devices incorporate the recommendations of the ADSL Forum regarding framing, data format, and upper layer protocols. Standards Compatibility and Compliance The DSL-604+ complies with or is compatible with the following standards as recognized by their respective agencies. • ITU G.994.1 (G.Hs Auto-handshake) compliant • ITU G.992.1 (G.dmt Full-rate ADSL) compliant • ITU G.992.2 (G.lite “Splitterless ADSL”) compliant • ITU-T Rec.

viii Requirements for Installation. Low Pass Filters A low pass filter is used to avoid signal interference on the line since ADSL and telephone services share the same copper wiring to carry their respective signals. Operating System The Router uses an HTML-based web interface for setup and management. The web configuration manager may be accessed using the Win 98/ME/2000/XP capable of running web browser software. Web Browser Any common web browser can be used to configure the Router using the web configuration management software. The program is designed to work best with more recently released browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer® version 5.0, Netscape Navigator® version 7.0, or later versions. Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter) Any computer that uses the Router must be able to connect to it through the Ethernet port on the Router. Most notebook computers are now sold with an Ethernet port already installed. Likewise, most fully assembled desktop computers come with an Ethernet NIC adapter as standard equipment. If your computer does not have an Ethernet adaptor, you must install one before you can use the Router.

1 1 Hardware Installation The DSL-604+ functions on three separate networks, a wired Ethernet LAN, a wireless LAN and a wired ADSL WAN. Placement of the Router must take into account the fact that it is connected to these three networks with three types of media. Ethernet cables connect the Router to computers and network devices and the ADSL line connects it to a wall socket. In addition, the device must be near an AC wall outlet for power. How to accommodate these wired connections is often not a complicated matter. However, the added dimension of wireless communication does complicate the decision of Router placement. Location Many environmental factors can affect the effective wireless function of the DSL-604+. If this is your first time setting up a wireless network device, read and consider the points listed below. The access point can be placed on a shelf or desktop, ideally you should be able to see the LED indicators on the front if you need to view them for troubleshooting. Designed to go up to 100 meters indoors and up to 300 meters outdoors, Wireless LAN lets you access your network from anywhere you want. However, the number of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through can limit signal range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF noise in your home or business. To range and signal strength, use these basic guidelines: 1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings to a minimum: The signal emitted fro m Wireless LAN devices can penetrate through ceilings and walls. However, each wall or ceiling can reduce the range Wireless LAN devices from 1 to 30M. Position your wireless devices so that the number of walls or ceilings obstructing the signal path is minimized. 2. Consider the direct line between access points and workstations: A wall that is 0.5 meters thick, at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 1 meter thick. At a 2-degree angle, it is over 14 meters thick. Be careful to position access points and client adapters so the signal can travel straight through (90º angle) a wall or ceiling for better reception. 3. Building Materials make a difference: Buildings constructed using metal framing or doors can reduce effective range of the device. If possible, position wireless devices so that their signal can pass through drywall or open doorways, avoid positioning them so that their signal must pass through metallic materials. Poured concrete walls are reinforced with steel while cinderblock walls generally have little or no structural steel. 4. Position the antennas for best reception. Play around with the antenna position to see if signal strength improves. Some adapters or access points allow the user to judge the strength of the signal. 5. Keep your product away (at least 1-2 meters) from electrical devices: Position wireless devices away from electrical devices that generate RF noise such as micro wave ovens, monitors, electric motors, etc.

2 Network Connection Complete the connection to the wired networks through the ADSL port and the Ethernet port on the back of the Router. See the diagram on page 4 Connect ADSL Line Use the ADSL cable included with the Router to connect it to a telephone wall socket. Plug one end of the cable into the ADSL port (RJ -11 receptacle) on the rear panel of the Router and insert the other end into the RJ-11 wall socket. If you are using a low pass filter device, follow the instructions included with the device or given to you by your service provider. The ADSL connection represents the WAN interface. It is the physical link to the ISP’s network backbone and ultimately to the Internet. Connect Router to Ethernet The Router connects directly to Ethernet workstation or to an Ethernet LAN. The RJ-45 ports on the Router are crossed ports (MDI-X) and can be connected to an Ethernet adapter with a straight-through (MDI-II) port using a normal straight-through Ethernet cable. Use crossed cable when connecting the Router to a crossed port (MDI- X) on a switch or hub. Use a straight-through cable when connecting it to an uplink (MDI-II) port on a hub or switch. A valid connection is indicated if the Ethernet Link LED indicator(s) on the front panel shine steady green. The rules governing Ethernet cable lengths apply to the four Ethernet ports. Be sure that the cable connecting the Router to other Ethernet devices does not exceed 100 meters. Power On Router To power on the Router: 1. Insert the AC Power Adapter cord into the power receptacle located on the rear panel of the Router and plug the adapter into a suitable nearby power source. 2. Turn on the power with the power switch located on the rear panel. 3. You should see the Power LED indicator light up and remain lit. The Status LED should light solid green and begin to blink after a few seconds. 4. If you have the Router connected to your network you can look at the Ethernet Link/Act LED indicators to make sure they have valid connections. The Router will attempt to establish the ADSL connection, if the ADSL line is connected and the connection is properly configured this should light up after several seconds. Factory Reset Button The Router may be reset to the original factory default settings by pressing the reset button for 10 seconds while the device is powered on. Use a ballpoint or paperclip to push down the reset button. Remember that this will wipe out any settings stored in flash memory including IP settings. The factory default IP address of the Router is 192.168.0.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. If you have forgotten your password, this will return the modem back to it’s default username and password that the modem shipped with.

3 2 Configuring the Router for the First Time The first time you setup the Router it is recommended that you configure the WAN connection using a single computer making sure that both the computer and the Router are not connected to the LAN. Once the WAN connection is functioning properly you may continue change settings to suit your network. This chapter is only concerned with settings up the WAN connection. The following chapter, Web-based Management Guide, describes the various menus used to configure and monitor the Router including how to change IP settings and DHCP server setup. WAN Configuration Summary 1. Connect to the Router To configure the WAN connection used by the Router it is first necessary to communicate with the Router through its management interface, which is HTML-based and can be accessed using a web browser. To access the management software your computer must be able to “see” the Router. Your computer can see the Router if it is in the same “neighborhood” or subnet as the Router. This is accomplished by making sure your computer has IP settings that place it in the same subnet as the Router. The easiest way to make sure your computer has the correct IP settings is to configure it to use the DHCP server in the Router. The next section describes how to change the IP configuration for a computer running a Windows operating system to be a DHCP client. 2. Configure the WAN Connection Once your are able to access the configuration software you can proceed to change the settings required to establish the ADSL connection and connect to the service provider’s network. There are different methods used to establish the connection to the service provider’s network and ultimately to the Internet. You should know what Encapsulation and connection type you are required to use for your ADSL service. It is also possible that you must change the PVC settings used for the ADSL connection. Your service provider should provide all the information you need to configure the WAN connection. Configuring IP Settings on Your Computer In order to configure your system to receive IP settings from the Router it must first have the TCP/IP protocol installed. If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably already has TCP/IP protocol installed. If you are using Windows XP the TCP/IP is enabled by default for standard installations. Below is an illustrated example of how to configure a Windows XP system to automatically obtain IP settings from the Router. Following this example is a step-by-step description of the procedures used on the other Windows operating systems to first check if the TCP/IP protocol has been installed, if it is not instruction are provided for installing it. Once the protocol has been installed you can configure the system to receive IP settings from the Router. For computers running non-Windows operating systems, follow the instructions for your OS that configure the system to receive an IP address from the Router, that is, configure the system to be a DHCP client. Note If you are using this Router to provide Internet access for more than one computer, you can use these instructions later to change the IP settings for the other computers. However you cannot use the same IP address since every computer must have its own IP address that is unique on the local network.

If you change the IP address you will use the new IP address to access the web-based manager. After entering the IP address, a new window will appear and you will be prompted for a user name and password to access the web-based manager. Use the default user name admin and password telus for first time set up. You should change the web-based manager access password once you have verified that a connection can be established.

11 Router Configuration All the settings that define Router operations on both the LAN and WAN can be configured with the menus located in Home and Advanced tab. The Tools tab and Status tab contain menus useful for system upkeep and analysis. These menus are described later in this chapter. Home Home> Wizard You may just run the wizard to build up the ADSL connection. Step 1. After you logged in, click “Run Wizard”.

12 Step 2. You will see the set-up procedure in the following pop-up screen. Click Next to continue. Step 3. Set your new password. You are also required to type the old one (by default it’s telus). Click Next

13 Step 4. Choose your time zone from the drop-down menu. Click Next.

14 Step 5. You will be prompted to select the type of Internet connection for your router. It is set Dynamic IP Address. Click Next. The device will get an IP address automatically from your ISP. Here you may also use the Clone MAC address to copy the MAC of your Ethernet adaptor in your computer. Click Next.

15 Step 6. Wireless setup The default settings are: SSID:=default; SSID Broadcast:=Enabled; Channel:=6 You can change these settings to match an existing wireless network. Click Next.

16 Step 7. The default WEP function is disabled. You can change the encryption settings for secure association. DSL-604+ is able to use 64-bit, and 128-bit encryption for wireless encryption. Click Next. Step 8. Click Restart to save changes and restart the DSL-604+.

17 Home> Wireless Settings This page allows you to change the wireless settings of the router, in order to fit in with an existing wireless network or to customize your wireless network. Wireless Connection You may enable the WLAN connection for wireless communication or disable the option to stop all wireless transmission.

18 SSID SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the unique identifier that client devices use to associate with the DSL-604+. The default SSID is “default". The SSID can be easily changed to create a new wireless network. All wireless client communicating with the DSL-605+ need to use the same SSID. Channel The default channel for DSL-604+ is set as 6. This option can be changed to fit the proper channel setting for an existing wireless network or to customize the wireless network. Remember that all client communicating with DSL-604+ need to select the same channel (and use the same SSID). SSID Broadcast This setting is used to choose whether the clients that do not specify a SSID are allowed to associate to the access point. Enable to allow the client devices using the primary SSID to communicate to the access point. Or you may disable SSID Broadcast to deny the clients using primary SSID to associate with AP. WEP Wired Encryption Protocol (WEP) is a wireless security protocol for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). WEP provides security by encrypting the data that is sent over the WLAN. The DSL-604+ supports 2 levels of WEP Encryption: 64-bit encryption, and 128-bit encryption. The higher the encryption, the more secure you network will be. If WEP not enabled, your network would not be protected from unauthorized access. Although there will be a slight performance hit, it is recommended to enable WEP for your network security. Keys: You may enter up to 4 sets of keys, which allow you to easily change wireless encryption settings for a secure network. But only one of them can be active. A key becomes the active one by selecting it. If you choose 64-bit format, you need to define exactly 10 hexadecimal digits (Hexadecimal digits are defined as the numerical digits 0-9 and the letters A-F; Upper and lower case are recognized as the same digit). You need to type exactly 26 hexadecimal digits for 128-bit key.

19 Home> ADSL WAN (wide area network) Settings are used to connect to your ISP (Internet Service Provider). ADSL- Dynamic IP Address Telus has set the default ADSL setting to "Dynamic IP Address". Host Name - (optional) The Host Name field is optional but may be required by some Internet Service Providers. The default host name is the model number of the device, DSL-604+. MAC Address - (optional) The MAC (Media Access Control) Address field is required by some Internet Service Providers (ISP). The default MAC address is one of the WAN interface in the DSL-604+. You can use the "Clone MAC Address" button to automatically copy the MAC address of the Ethernet Card installed in the computer used to configure the device. It is only necessary to fill in this option if requested by your ISP.

20 Home> LAN DHCP Server The DHCP server will provide IP addresses to computers that are starting up and are requesting an IP address to log on to the network. The computer must be set as a DHCP client to "Obtain the IP address automatically". By default, the DHCP Server is enabled. The DHCP address pool contains the range of the IP addresses that will automatically assign to the clients on the network. Starting IP address - The starting IP address for the DHCP server's IP assignment. Ending IP address - The ending IP address for the DHCP server's IP assignment. Lease Time - The length of time for the IP lease. DHCP client computers connected to the unit will be displayed in the DHCP Client Table. The table will show the Host Name, IP Address, MAC Address, and Expired Time of the DHCP lease for each client computer.

21 Advanced Advanced> LAN settings These are the IP settings of the LAN (Local Area Network) interface for the device. These settings may be indicated to "private settings". You may change the LAN IP address if needed. The LAN IP address is private to your internal network and cannot be seen on the Internet. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. IP Address: IP address of the DSL-604+, default is 192.168.0.1. Subnet Mask: Subnet Mask of DSL-604+, default is 255.255.255.0. Local Domain Name : (optional) Enter in the local domain name for the network. Advanced> Virtual Server This setting allows the remote users to access Web or FTP services via public IP, which will be automatically redirected to local servers in LAN. Depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the device redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network. The DSL-604+ firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the DSL-604+ are invisible to the outside world. You may make some of the LAN computers accessible from Internet by enabling Virtual Server. Depending on the requested service, the DSL-604+ redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network. The DSL-604+ is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular port may be redirected to a different port on the server computer. Some well-known virtual services are already defined in the Virtual Server Table. You may click Edit icon to enable it or change the options or Delete icon to remove the option.

22 Name - The name referencing the virtual service. Private IP - The server computer in LAN will provide the virtual services. Protocol Type - The protocol is used for the virtual service. Private Port - The port number of the service is used by the Private IP computer. Public Port - The port number on the WAN side will be used to access the virtual service. Schedule - You may set the specific time to enable virtual services via "Schedule" option. If selecting "Always", the particular service will be allowed to use all the time. But if selecting "Time", you may set the time frame to enable the service. And when accessing the device outside the scheduled time, the service will be disabled. Example: If you have a Web server that you wanted Internet users to access at all times, you would need to enable it. Web (HTTP) server is on LAN computer 192.168.0.25. HTTP uses port 80, TCP. Name: Web Server Private IP: 192.168.0.25 Protocol Type: TCP Private Port: 80 Public Port: 80 Schedule: always

23 Advanced> Special Applications Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, Internet telephony and others. Thus these applications are unable to work through NAT (Network Address Translation). If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, specify one port for the particular application in the "Trigger Port" option. And select the protocol type as TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) or UDP (User Datagram Protocol) to trigger the special application. Then enter the public ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic. There are some known special applications which have been listed on the Special Application table. You may select the data by clicking the Edit icon and then enable the service. Name - This is the name for the special application. Trigger Port - This is the port used to trigger the application. It can be either a single port or a range of ports. Trigger Type - This is the protocol used to trigger the port for the special application. Public Port - This is the port number on the WAN side that will be used to access the application. You may define a single port or a range of ports. You can use a comma to add multiple ports or port ranges. Public Type - This is the protocol used to trigger the public port for the special application. Home> Firewall Firewall Rules is an advanced feature to deny or allow traffic to pass through the device. It works in the same way as IP Filters with additional settings. You can create more detailed access rules for the device. When the virtual services are created and enabled, it will also display in Firewall Rules contains all network firewall rules pertaining to IP.

24 In the Firewall Rules list, some pre-defined rules are display from the top as the highest priority to the bottom as the comparatively lower priority. Note The MAC filtering rule has precedence over the firewall rules. Home> Filters Filters are used to deny or allow LAN computers to access the Internet. The unit can refuse some computers with the assigned IP or MAC addresses to access the Internet. Or it also may block users to access the restricted web sites. Filter - IP Filters Use IP Filters to deny particular LAN IP addresses to access the Internet. You can deny specific port numbers or all ports for a specific IP address. The well-known ports are displayed on the "IP filter list". Please click the edit icon to enable them. You will only need to enter the LAN IP address(es) of the computer(s) that will be denied to access Internet.

25 IP - The IP address of the LAN computer that will be denied access to the Internet. You can also add a range of IP addresses. Port - The single port or port range that will be denied to access the Internet. If no port is specified, the default setting would deny all the ports to access. Protocol Type - This is the protocol type used for the port blocking. Schedule - This is to schedule when the IP Filter will be enabled.

26 Filters - MAC Filters This is to deny LAN computers to access the Internet. You can either manually add a MAC address or select the MAC address from the list of clients that are currently connected to the unit. Select "Only allow computers with MAC address listed below to access the network": Only the selected computers can access the network. Select "Only deny computers with MAC address listed below to access the network": All the computers can access the network except those computers on the list. Name: Enter the host name for the MAC filter. MAC Address: The MAC address of the computer on the LAN (Local Area Network) side. DHCP Client: You may read the DHCP client's host name and MAC address listed here. Select the client computer which you want to add on the MAC filter list and then click Apply button. Or you may click Clone to automatically add computer's MAC address to the MAC Address section. Click Delete icon to remove the items. Filters - URL Blocking URL Blocking is used to deny the computers within the LAN (Local Area Network) accessing to the specific web sites. And it is rejected by its URL (Uniform Resource Locator). A URL is a specially formatted text string that defines a location on the Internet. If any part of the URL contains the blocked word, the site will not be accessed and the web page will not be displayed as well.

27 Example: If you wanted to block LAN users to go to the shopping websites, you would need to enter "shopping" into the URL Blocking list. The sites such as below are not admitted to access for LAN users because they contain the keyword in the URL. http://www.yahoo.com/shopping/stores.html http://www.msn.com/search/shopping-spree.html Filters - Domain Blocking Domain Blocking is used to deny or allow the computers within the LAN (Local Area Network) accessing specific domains on the Internet. That is, it will deny or allow all requests such as http and ftp to a specific domain.

28 Select Allow users to access all domains except "Blocked Domains" if you allow the users to access all domains except the domains on the Blocked Domains list. Select Deny users to access all domains except "Permitted Domains" if you only want the users to access Permitted Domains. Example: If you just allow your children to access some particular sites, you would have to choose Deny users to access all domains except "Permitted Domains". Then enter in the domains you want your children to access. Telus.net Cartoons.com DiscoveryChannel.com

29 Advanced> DMZ If your computer cannot run Internet applications properly with the device, then you can enable this option to allow the computer accessing the unrestricted Internet. Enter the IP address of the computer as a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host. Adding the computer to the DMZ may expose it under insecurity risk; thus suggest not using this option unless no other alternatives.

30 Advanced> Wireless Performance Beacon interval Beacons are the packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. And the beacon interval is to determine the amount of time between beacons. You may specify ranging from 1 to 1000. The default value is 100 microseconds. RTS Threshold This setting determines the packet size that the AP issues a RTS (request to send) before sending the packet. You may enter a value from 256 to 2432. The default value for RTS Threshold is suggested to set as 2432. Fragmentation Use the low Fragmentation in areas where the communication is poor or where there is a lot of clients. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase your "Fragmentation" value within the range 256~ 2346. This value is suggested to set as a default value 2346. DTIM interval (beacon rate) Enter a value between 1 and 65535 to set up the DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) interval rate. This setting determines how often the beacon contains a DTIM. The DTIM tells power-save client devices that a packet is waiting for them. The default value for DTIM interval is 3. Basic Rates

31 This is to set up the rate for AP and clients' initial association. Transmission (TX) Rates Select the transmission rates based on the speed of wireless adapters on the WLAN (wireless local area network). Preamble Type The Preamble is the section of the data at the head of a packet that contains information the access point and the roaming wireless adaptors need when sending or receiving packets. Selecting long preamble is to ensure the compatibility and short preamble can improve throughput performance. Make sure to select the appropriate preamble type and click the Apply button. Authentication There are three options for the Authentication-- Open System, Shared key or Both. If selecting Open System, the Access Point will be visible to all devices on the network. There is no necessary to enable the WEP key, but it would be suggested to enable for higher level of security. Once the WEP key is enabled, only the wireless clients with the same WEP key are able to communicate on the wireless network. If selecting the Shared Key, the AP thus must enable the WEP. The DSL-604+ will not be seen on the wireless network except the clients share the same key. Or you may select AUTO to allow all the clients to access the DSL-604+, whatever the clients use Open System or Shared Key. The default value for Authentication is "Auto". Antenna Transmit Power This setting determines the power level of radio transmission. There are three levels for selection--100%, 50% and 25%. You may select the appropriate one to maximize the transmission range and to improve the quality. The default value is set as the highest value- 100%. 4X Mode Select Enabled to get up to 4 times throughput increase over 802.11b devices ideally when using D-Link Airplus clients that also support 4X mode.

32 Tools Tool> Admin> Administrator Settings There are two accounts that can access the management interface through the web browser. The account for users is admin and the other is for root level. Admin has read/write ability on the web page and can make some changes. You can change the Admin account password here for personal security. Tool> Admin> Remote Management Remote Management allows the device to be configured through the WAN (Wide Area Network) port from the Internet using a web browser. A username and password are still required to access the browser-based management interface. IP Address - Enter the Internet IP address of the computer connected to the DSL-604+. If the IP address is set to *, this allows all Internet IP addresses to access the DSL-604+. Port - The port number is used to access the DSL-604+. Example: http://x.x.x.x:8080 whereas x.x.x.x is the WAN IP address of the DSL-604+ and 8080 is the port used for the Web-Management interface. Tools> System Time The "system time" is used by the unit to synchronize scheduling services and system logging activities. You will need to set the time zone corresponding to your location. The time can be set manually or the device can connect to a NTP (Network Time Protocol) server to retrieve the time.

33 Tools> System Settings The current system settings can be saved as a file onto the local hard drive. The saved file or any other saved setting file created by device can be uploaded into the unit. The file will be saved as adslmodem.cfg. To reload a system settings file, click on Browse to search the local hard drive for the file to be used. The device can also be reset back to factory default settings by clicking Restore. Use the restore feature only if necessary. This will erase previously save settings for the unit. Make sure to save your system settings to the local driver before doing a factory restore.

34 Tools> Firmware Upgrade You can upgrade the firmware of the device using this tool. Make sure that the firmware you want to use is saved on the local hard drive of the computer or accessible TFTP server. Click on Browse to search the local hard drive for the firmware to be used for the update. Upgrading the firmware will not change any of your system settings but it is recommended that you save your system settings before doing a firmware upgrade. Please check the D-Link support site for firmware updates at http://support.dlink.ca/telus.

35 Tools> Miscellaneous Items These are additional tools and features of the device. Ping Test This diagnostic utility can be used to check if a computer is on the Internet. It sends ping packets and listens to the replies from the specific host. Enter in a host name or the IP address that you want to ping (Packet Internet Groper) and click Ping. Example: telus.net or 198.161.157.214 Restart Device If the device is not responding correctly, you may want to restart the unit by clicking on the Restart button. UPnP UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is a feature that facilitates networking for a variety of devices and systems. This feature is enabled by default. It will only work with other UPnP systems or software. You can disable the UPnP option by selecting disabled and clicking the Apply button. VPN Pass-Through The device supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through for both PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) and IPSec (IP Security). Once VPN pass-through is enabled, there is no need to enable the virtual services. Multiple VPN connections can be made through the device. This is useful when you have many VPN clients on the local area network.

36 Status Status> Device Information This page displays the current information for the DSL-604+. The page will show the version of the firmware currently loaded in the device.
