Section 2 – Installation D-Link DSL-2740E User Manual 4 Installation This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the Router is very important. Do not place the Router in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet or in the attic or garage. Before You Begin Please read and make sure you understand all the prerequisites for proper installation of your new Router. Have all the necessary information and equipment on hand before beginning the installation. Installation Notes In order to establish a connection to the Internet it will be necessary to provide information to the Router that will be stored in its memory. For some users, only their account information (Username and Password) is required. For others, various parameters that control and define the Internet connection will be required. You can print out the two pages below and use the tables to list this information. This way you have a hard copy of all the information needed to setup the Router. If it is necessary to reconfigure the device, all the necessary information can be easily accessed. Be sure to keep this information safe and private. Low Pass Filters Since ADSL and telephone services share the same copper wiring to carry their respective signals, a filtering mechanism may be necessary to avoid mutual interference. A low pass filter device can be installed for each telephone that shares the line with the ADSL line. These filters are easy to install passive devices that connect to the ADSL device and/or telephone using a standard telephone cable. Ask your service provider for more information about the use of low pass filters with your installation. Operating Systems The DSL-2740E uses an HTML-based web interface for setup and management. The web configuration manager may be accessed using any operating system capable of running web browser software, including Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
Section 2 – Installation D-Link DSL-2740E User Manual 5 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 Opera, Microsoft Internet Explorer® version 6.0, Netscape Navigator® version 6.2.3, or later versions. The web browser must have JavaScript enabled. JavaScript is enabled by default on many browsers. Make sure JavaScript has not been disabled by other software (such as virus protection or web user security packages) that may be running on your computer. Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter) Any computer that uses the Router must be able to connect to it through the Ethernet port on the Router. This connection is an Ethernet connection and therefore requires that your computer be equipped with an Ethernet port as well. 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. If your computer does not have an Ethernet port, you must install an Ethernet NIC adapter before you can use the Router. If you need to install an adapter, follow the installation instructions that come with the Ethernet NIC adapter. Additional Software It may be necessary to install software on your computer that enables the computer to access the Internet. Additional software must be installed if you are using the device as a simple bridge. For a bridged connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored on another computer or gateway device, not in the Router itself. If your ADSL service is delivered through a PPPoE or PPPoA connection, the information needed to establish and maintain the Internet connection can be stored in the Router. In this case, it is not necessary to install software on your computer. It may however be necessary to change some settings in the device, including account information used to identify and verify the connection. All connections to the Internet require a unique global IP address. For bridged connections, the global IP settings must reside in a TCP/IP enabled device on the LAN side of the bridge, such as a PC, a server, a gateway device, such as a router, or similar firewall hardware. The IP address can be assigned in a number of ways. Your network service provider will give you instructions about any additional connection software or NIC configuration that may be required.
Section 2 – Installation D-Link DSL-2740E User Manual 6 Information you will need from your ADSL service provider Username This is the Username used to log on to your ADSL service provider’s network. Your ADSL service provider uses this to identify your account. Password This is the Password used, in conjunction with the Username above, to log on to your ADSL service provider’s network. This is used to verify the identity of your account. WAN Setting / Connection Type These settings describe the method your ADSL service provider uses to transport data between the Internet and your computer. Most users will use the default settings. You may need to specify one of the following WAN Setting and Connection Type configurations (Connection Type settings listed in parenthesis): PPPoE/PPPoA (PPPoE LLC, PPPoA LLC or PPPoA VC-Mux) Bridge Mode (1483 Bridged IP LLC or 1483 Bridged IP VC Mux) IPoA/MER (Static IP Address) (Bridged IP LLC, 1483 Bridged IP VC Mux, 1483 Routed IP LLC, 1483 Routed IP VC-Mux or IPoA) MER (Dynamic IP Address) (1483 Bridged IP LLC or 1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux) Modulation Type ADSL uses various standardized modulation techniques to transmit data over the allotted signal frequencies. Some users may need to change the type of modulation used for their service. The default DSL modulation (ADSL2+ Multi-Mode) used for the Router automatically detects all types of ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+ modulation. Security Protocol This is the method your ADSL service provider will use to verify your Username and Password when you log on to their network. Your Router supports the PAP and CHAP protocols. VPI Most users will not be required to change this setting. The Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) is used in conjunction with the Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) to identify the data path between your ADSL service provider’s network and your computer. If you are setting up the Router for multiple virtual connections, you will need to configure the VPI and VCI as instructed by your ADSL service provider for the additional connections. This setting can be changed in the WAN Settings window of the web management interface. VCI Most users will not be required to change this setting. The Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) is used in conjunction with the VPI to identify the data path between your ADSL service provider’s network and your computer. If you are setting up the Router for multiple virtual connections, you will need to configure the VPI and VCI as instructed by your ADSL service provider for the additional connections. This setting can be changed in the WAN Setup window of the web management interface.

Section 4 – Troubleshooting D-Link DSL-2740E User Manual 35 DNS Domain name system (DNS) is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they are easier to remember. The Internet, however, is actually based on IP addresses. Each time you use a domain name, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com might be translated to 198.105.232.4. The DNS system is, in fact, its own network. If one DNS server does not know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned. Choose ADVANCED > DNS. The page shown in the right figure appears. If you are using the device for DHCP service on the LAN or using DNS servers on the ISP network, select Attain DNS Automatically.

Click a hyperlinked URL in the form of hostname.dyndns.org and allow remote access to a host. Many ISPs assign public IP addresses using DHCP, so locating a specific host on the LAN using the standard DNS is difficult. For example, if you are running a public web server or VPN server on your LAN, DDNS ensures that the host can be located from the Internet even if the public IP address changes. DDNS requires that an account be set up with one of the supported DDNS service providers (DyndDNS.org or dlinkddns.com). Choose ADVANCED > Dynamic DNS. The page shown in the right page appears. Click Add to add dynamic DNS. The following table describes the parameters of this page. Field Description DDDNS provider Select one of the DDNS registration organizations from the down-list drop.
