Telepermit Information
DSE XH9950 ADSL Wireless Router PTC 272/06/039
PTC200 General Warning
1. The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only
that Telecom has accepted that the item complies with minimum conditions
for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of the product by
Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it provides no
assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects with another item of
Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply that
any product is compatible with all of Telecom's network services.
The Service Covered by this Telepermit
2. This Telepermit shows that this DSE XH9950 ADSL Wireless Router is
suitable for connection to Telecom’s existing ADSL1 service. This service is
defined by the specification PTC270. When compliance with the specification
XH9950 – DSE Wireless ADSL Router 802.11g 4 port
3
is proved a PTC272 Telepermit is issued for each product. This Telepermit
does not show suitability for connection to a new ADSL service when Telecom
introduces it. Telecom will require proof of compliance with a new PTC
specification when the new service is introduced
ADSL2 & ADSL2+ Services
3. ADSL2 and ADSL2+ services are only available from the network of the ADSL
Service Provider. Telecom does not currently provide either service to
customers from its Broadband network. When Telecom introduces ADSL2
and/or ADSL2+ services this Wireless Router has not been proven suitable for
connection to it.
Routers and Power Supply
4. This DSE XH9950 ADSL Wireless Router must be connected to the Telecom
network using the model RH48-1201200AS AC-AC Power Adaptor that it was
tested with in Telelab limited Test Report number 1236, testing date 29
September 2006. Failure to do so could negate the Telepermit as untested
power supplies may affect the routers operation.
This DSE XH9950 ADSL Wireless Router on Long Lines
5. This DSE XH9950 ADSL Wireless Router may not achieve the type of “high
speed” operation expected when attached to a line that is longer than
intended by the ITU-T G996.1 ADSL standard i.e. >4 km of 0.4mm cable or a
shorter cable length with several tails or multiples. If the Router is installed in
such conditions and does not give the expected “download” performance,
then do not refer the matter to the Telecom Fault Service or ADSL Helpdesk.
User Instructions (1) for This DSE XH9950 ADSL Wireless Router
6. When distributed to Broadband users attached to the Telecom network the
User Instructions for setting up this DSE XH9950 ADSL Wireless Router must
not contain any information that relates to setting up the router on another
companies network. Such information is confusing for the new customer and
causes excessive calls to the Jetstream Helpdesk.
User Instructions (2) for This DSE XH9950 ADSL Wireless Router
7. If customers have problems setting up this DSE XH9950 ADSL Wireless
Router to download information from the “Internet” via the Telecom network
the problem must be directed to the Router supplier (DSE NZ limited) do not
call the Telecom Fault Service or Jetstream helpdesk or a monetary charge
will result.
Security of the Wireless Connectivity on This DSE XH9950 ADSL Wireless Router
8. Security of the 802.11g wireless connection associated with this DSE XH9950
ADSL Wireless Router is the Supplier’s and customer’s responsibility.
Telecom will take no responsibility for charges made to customer’s accounts
due to poorly organised wireless security allowing unknown users to connect
to the internet via this wireless router. Should this occur do not complain to
the Telecom Fault Service or JetStream Helpdesk.

3.3 Make sure ADSL service is activated
Note: Before you can use any ADSL modem or router, you must confirm that the
following conditions have been met.
• You are located within 5Km of an ADSL enabled phone exchange and you
can get Telecom’s ADSL service. This can be checked by contacting
Telecom.
• Telecom has enabled the ADSL service to your house or office.
• Because the 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 to install a central splitter.
• You need to have an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to
enable your new ADSL line to connect to the internet.
3.4 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.

Cost

and the actual installation

3.4.1 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 dialers, Etc.
Filtering telephone equipment is as simple as plugging the XH7556 or XH8556 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 jack
point. However should an adaptor be required between the plug on the modem cord and the
jack point, or you wish to connect telephone equipment to the same jack point, the XH7556
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 JP
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 jack point,
then a double adaptor can be plugged into the “PHONE” socket of this filter.
• If the Line Filter has a RJ11 “ADSL” socket incorporated. Only ADSL modems or routers
may be plugged into this socket.
Note: If you have a house alarm with dialler which is hardwired into your phone line,
you will need to have a central splitter installed as the filters will not be adequate.
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.

11
3.4.2 Option 2: Have an ADSL splitter professionally installed
• Contact Telecom on 123 to arrange for a technician to be sent out to install
a central splitter.
3.5 Connecting the ADSL modem to your PC
1. Plug the provided 12v power adaptor into the connector labelled as POWER
on the rear panel.
2. Plug one end of the provided Ethernet cable into one of the four LAN
connectors on the rear of the router and the other end into a Network/Ethernet

• ATM VC: ATM settings are used to connect to your ISP. Your ISP provides
VPI, VCI settings to you. In this Device, you can totally setup 8 VCs on
different encapsulations, if you apply 8 different virtual circuits from your ISP.
You need to activate the VC to take effect. For PVCs management, you can
use ATM QoS to setup each PVC traffic line's priority.
o Virtual Circuit: Select the VC number you want to setup.
o Status: Currently activated or deactivated.
o VPI: Virtual Path Identifier.
o VCI: Virtual Channel Identifier.
o ATM QoS: Select the Quality of Service types for this Virtual Circuit.
The ATM QoS types include CBR (Constant Bit Rate), VBR (Variable
Bit Rate) and UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate). These QoS types are all
controlled by the parameters specified below, including PCR, SCR and
MBS.
o PCR: Peak cell rate.
o SCR: Sustained cell rate.
o MBS: Maximum burst size.
• Encapsulation
o Dynamic IP: Select this option if your ISP provides you an IP address
automatically. This option is typically used for Cable services.
o Static IP: Select this option to set static IP information. You will need to
enter in the Connection type, IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
address, provided to you by your ISP. Each IP address entered in the
