XH6830 – DSE 802.11g ADSL Router

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the DSE 802.11g ADSL router. This product is the perfect option to

connect a group of wired or wireless PCs to a high-speed ADSL Internet connection.

Configurable as a DHCP server for your existing network, this router acts as the only externally

recognized Internet gateway on your local area network (LAN) or wireless local area network

(WLAN) and serves as an Internet NAT firewall against unwanted outside intruders. This router

can also be configured to filter users by MAC address, provide a level of security using Wired

Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and control internal users’ access to the Internet.

A typical router relies on a hub or a switch to share its Internet connection, but this Wireless

Router channels this connection through the blazing, full duplex speed of its built-in 4-Port

10/100Mbps Switch. This cutting-edge combination of Wireless Router and switch technology

eliminates the need to buy an additional hub or switch and extends the range of your wireless

network.

• IP Address Sharing by NAT. The Wireless Router allows several networked PCs to

share an Internet account using only a single IP address, which may be statically or

dynamically assign -ed by your Internet service provider (ISP).

XH6830 – DSE 802.11g ADSL Router

•

Automatic Configuration of DHCP. The Wireless Router dynamically assigns network

configuration information, including IP Address, WAN Gateway, Domain Name Server

( DNS ) Addresses, … etc. This greatly simplifies configuration of PCs on your local

network.

•

Dynamic DNS. This is a method of keeping a domain name linked to a changing IP

Address as not all computers use Static IP addresses. Typically, when a user connects

to the Internet, the user's ISP assigns an unused IP address from a pool of IP

addresses, and this address is used only for the duration of that specific connection.

•

PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE). PPPoE is a method for the encapsulation of PPP packets

over Ethernet frames from the user to the ISP over the Internet. One reason PPPoE is

preferred by ISPs is because it provides authentication (username and password) in

addition to data transport. A PPPoE session can be initiated by either a client application

residing on a PC, or by client firmware residing on a modem or router.

•

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) – PPTP is a protocol (set of communication

rules) that allows corporations to extend their own corporate network through private

"Tunnels" over the public Internet. Effectively, a corporation uses a wide-area network

as a single large local area network. A company no longer needs to lease its own lines

for wide-area communication but can securely use the public networks. This kind of

interconnection is known as a virtual private network.

•

Support UPnP. Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) enhances peer-to-peer network

connectivity for personal computers, wireless devices, and other intelligent appliances,

in a distributed, open networking architecture. UPnP provides an architectural

framework for creating self-configuring, self-describing devices and services. Networks

managed by UPnP require no configuration by users or network administrators because

“UPnP” supports automatic discovery. UPnP enables a device to dynamically join a

network, obtain an IP address, and convey its capabilities on request.

•

Easy Installation and Management

•

Quick Setup. The Quick Setup is meant to help you install the product quickly and

easily.

•

Browser-based management. Browser-based configuration allows you to easily

configure your router from almost any type of personal computer, such as Windows,

Macintosh, or Linux.

•

Visual monitoring. The Wireless Router’s front panel’s LEDs provide an easy way to

monitor the connection status and activity.

of the power adaptor to the power outlet.

XH6830 – DSE 802.11g ADSL Router

4.3 Connection to WAN

4.3.1 Make sure ADSL service is activated

Before you can use any ADSL modem or router, you must confirm the following:

• You are located within about 5km of an ADSL enabled phone exchange and you can get

Telecom’s ADSL service. This can be checked on-line by visiting “adsl.dse.co.nz” and

clicking on the link “your area” – or by calling Telecom on 0800 253 878.

•

Telecom has enabled the ADSL service to your house or office.

This can be facilitated by Ihug, Xtra or directly with Telecom

•

Because ADSL and voice works on the same phone line at the same time, you need to

install ADSL filter/s on each of your normal Telephone devices or contact Telecom on 123 to

arrange for someone to install a central splitter. You can also order ADSL on-line by visiting

“adsl.dse.co.nz” and clicking on the “Order JetStream @ Home” or “Order JetStream @

Work” links.

•

You need to have an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to enable your new

ADSL line to connect to the Internet.

•

To connect with IHUG, simply call 0800 GET IHUG or visit www.ihug.co.nz/dse

To connect with XTRA, simply call 0800 GET XTRA

4.3.2 Configure your phone equipment

ADSL works by combining both voice and data signals on the same phone line. At your

premises, these signals need to be separated through the use of an approved Filter or Splitter.

Whilst both achieve the same results, each has their pro’s and cons.

Filter Splitter

Ideal for

Smaller installations with a

limited amount of phone

outlets (phones, answering

machines, cordless phones,

56K modems, Fax, etc.)

Larger installations or

situations where filters

cannot be used (alarm

diallers and other

permanently wired

telephone devices).

Installation method

Self install Professional contractor only

Maximum phones

5 – although double and triple

adaptors can be plugged into

the phone socket of each filter.

Unlimited

How to get

Dick Smith Electronics –

XH7556

Call Telecom on 123

Cost

Low per unit for most

installations

Higher – depends on

installer and the actual

installation

4.3.3 Option 1: Install ADSL Filter/s yourself

• All telephone equipment must be filtered in an ADSL installation. This includes corded &

cordless phones, answering machines, faxes, caller display units, analogue modem

(including such devices as a Sky digital decoder with integrated modem), dedicated diallers,

Etc. Filtering telephone equipment is as simple as plugging the XH7556 DSE ADSL filter

in-line with the device/s.

•

Your ADSL modem or router will be the only device that can connect directly to your

jackpoint. However should an adaptor be required between the plug on the modem cord and

the jackpoint, or you wish to connect telephone equipment to the same jackpoint, the DSE

ADSL filter can be used by plugging the router or modem into the “ADSL” socket.

•

Do not plug an ADSL modem or router into the “PHONE” socket if the modem cord has this

type of plug.

•

It is important that the filter is connected the right way around.

- The lead coming out of the side marked “LINE” is plugged into the telephone jackpoint

- Non-ADSL telephone equipment then plugs into the “PHONE” socket on the filter

- The ADSL Modem or Router plugs into the “ADSL” socket on the filter.

•

Up to 5 filters can be used on a single telephone line. If you need to install more than 5

filters, a central splitter must be installed by Telecom.

•

If you need to connect more than one item of telephone equipment at the same jackpoint,

then a double adaptor can be plugged into the “PHONE” socket of this filter.

•

This Line Filter has a RJ11 “ADSL” socket incorporated. Only ADSL modems or routers

may be plugged into this socket.

CAUTION:

Failure to connect ALL telephone type equipment via a filter will result in loss of the data link

whenever a call is made or answered. In many cases the link will also be lost when a call is

received, even if it is not answered.

4.3.4 Option 2: Have an ADSL splitter professionally installed

Contact Telecom on 123 to arrange for a central splitter to be installed.

XH6830 – DSE 802.11g ADSL Router

4.4 Connection to LAN

Connect an Ethernet network cable from your PC’s Ethernet port to one of the router’s LAN

ports. The LAN LINK/ACT LED indicator will be lit by the corresponding port’s number when a

successful connection is made.

All the Ethernet ports support auto crossover functionality which means that either a patch or

crossover cable can be used.

5 Network Settings Configuration

This section will help you configure your computers to be able to communicate with the router.

Computers access the network and the Internet using a protocol called TCP/IP (Transmission

Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol). Each computer on your network must have TCP/IP installed

and selected as its networking protocol. If a Network Interface Card (NIC) or Wireless LAN Card

is already installed in your PC, then TCP/IP is probably already installed as well.

The following description assumes the router has the factory default settings. (If not, please hold

the reset button down for 10 seconds). The default router’s LAN IP is 192.168.8.1 and the DHCP

server setting for LAN users is on (offered IP range from 192.168.8.17 to 192.168.8.128 by

default).

Follow the procedures below to set your computers to get an IP address from the router.
