the Router

2. Plug the power adapter into a standard electrical wall socket

3. Press the Power button located on the rear panel of the Router

4. Wait for the power LED to turn steady green

CONNECTING THE

ROUTER The first step to install the router is to physically connect it to the telephone

socket and then connect it to a computer by means of an Ethernet connection.

To connect the phone cables (valid only for bonding models):

1. Connect one end of the first phone cable into the DSL filter port; the other

end of the phone cable shall be inserted into the first DSL port on the rear of

the Router.

2. Connect one end of the second phone cable into second phone line con-

nector available on the wall; the other end of the cable shall be connected to

the second DSL port on the rear panel of the router. (this is valid only for

DB 6520

Router Installation 13

To connect the Ethernet cable:

1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into one of the four Ethernet ports on

the rear of the Router

2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet Network card

of your computer

3. Verify if the Ethernet Network card is configured as DHCP client, otherwise

configure it to remain in the same local network of the router interface (see

chapter “Setting Up Your Computer”)

FIGURE 3. Ethernet Cable Connection

ETHERNET CONNECTION You have to verify the existence of a TCP/IP protocol stack and, then, according

to your Operating System, to establish an Ethernet connection to the Data

Gateway. This connection will require you to enable your computer to receive

DB 6520

14 Router Installation

from the Data Gateway its own IP Address automatically: in such a case, the

Data Gateway acts like the DHCP server in your local network.

TCP/IP CONFIGURATION To access the Internet through the Data Gateway, you must configure the net-

work settings of the computers on your LAN to use the same IP subnet as Data

Gateway. The default IP settings for the Data Gateway are:

IP ADDRESS: 192.168.1.1

SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0

These settings can be changed to fit your network requirements, but you must

first configure at least one computer to access the Data Gateway's web configu-

ration interface in order to make the required changes.

Glossary

802.11b

The IEEE specification for wireless Ethernet which allows speeds of up to 11 Mbps. The standard provides

for 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbps data rates. The rates will switch automatically depending on range and environ-

ment.

802.11g

The IEEE specification for wireless Ethernet which allows speeds of up to 54 Mbps. The standard provides

for 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps data rates. The rates will switch automatically depending on range

and environment.

802.11n

The IEEE specification for wireless Ethernet which allows speeds of up to 300 Mbps. The standard provides

for 7,2 up to 300 Mbps data rates. The rates will switch automatically depending on range and environment.

10BASE-T

The IEEE specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair cable.

100BASE-TX

The IEEE specification for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over Category 5 twisted-pair cable.

1000BASE-TX

The IEEE specification for 1 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet over Category 5 twisted-pair cable.

Access Point

An Access Point is a device through which wireless clients connect to other wireless clients and which acts

as a bridge between wireless clients and a wired network, such as Ethernet. Wireless clients can be moved

anywhere within the coverage area of the access point and still connect with each other. If connected to an

Ethernet network, the access point monitors Ethernet traffic and forwards appropriate Ethernet messages to

the wireless network, while also monitoring wireless client radio traffic and forwarding wireless client mes-

sages to the Ethernet LAN.

Ad Hoc mode

Ad Hoc mode is a configuration supported by most wireless clients. It is used to connect a peer to peer net-

work together without the use of an access point. It offers lower performance than infrastructure mode, which

is the mode the router uses. (see also Infrastructure mode.

Auto-negotiation

Some devices in the range support auto-negotiation. Auto-negotiation is where two devices sharing a link,

automatically configure to use the best common speed. The order of preference (best first) is: 100BASE-TX

full duplex, 100BASE-TX half duplex, 10BASE-T full duplex, and 10BASE-T half duplex. Auto-negotiation is

defined in the IEEE 802.3 standard for Ethernet and is an operation that takes place in a few milliseconds.

Bandwidth

The information capacity, measured in bits per second, that a channel can transmit. The bandwidth of Ether-

net is 10 Mbps, the bandwidth of Fast Ethernet is 100 Mbps. The bandwidth for 802.11b wireless is 11Mbps.

Category 5 Cables

One of five grades of Twisted Pair (TP) cabling defined by the EIA/TIA-586 standard. Category 5 can be

used in Ethernet (10BASE-T) and Fast Ethernet networks (100BASE-TX) and can transmit data up to

speeds of 100 Mbps. Category 5 cabling is better to use for network cabling than Category 3, because it

supports both Ethernet (10 Mbps) and Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) speeds.

Channel

Similar to any radio device, the Wireless Cable/DSL router allows you to choose different radio channels in

the wireless spectrum. A channel is a particular frequency within the 2.4GHz spectrum within which the

Router operates.

Client

The term used to described the desktop PC that is connected to your network.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically assigns an IP address for every computer

on your network. Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 contain software that assigns IP addresses

to workstations on a network. These assignments are made by the DHCP server software that runs on Win-

dows NT Server, and Windows 95 and Windows 98 will call the server to obtain the address. Windows 98

will allocate itself an address if no DHCP server can be found.

DMZ

DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is an area outside the firewall, to let remote users to have access to items on your

network (Web site, FTP download and upload area, etc.).

DNS Server Address

DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet host computers to have a domain name (such

as pirelli.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.168.10.8). A DNS server keeps a database of

host computers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is re-

quested (as in typing “pirelli.com” into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The

DNS server address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your

ISP has assigned.

DSL

Short for digital subscriber line, but is commonly used in reference to the asymmetric version of this technol-

ogy (ADSL) that allows data to be sent over existing copper telephone lines at data rates of from 1.5 to 9

Mbps when receiving data (known as the downstream rate) and from 16 to 640 Kbps when sending data

(known as the upstream rate). ADSL requires a special ADSL modem. ADSL is growing in popularity as

more areas around the world gain access.

DSL modem

DSL stands for digital subscriber line. A DSL modem uses your existing phone lines to send and receive da-

ta at high speeds.

Encryption

A method for providing a level of security to wireless data transmissions. The Router uses two levels of en-

cryption; 40/64 bit and 128 bit. 128 bit is a more powerful level of encryption than 40/64 bit.

computer to report its multicast group membership to adjacent routers. Multicasting allows one computer on

the Internet to send content to multiple other computers that have identified themselves as interested in re-

ceiving the originating computer's content. Multicasting can be used for such applications as updating the

address books of mobile computer users in the field, sending out company newsletters to a distribution list,

and

"broadcasting" high-bandwidth programs of streaming media to an audience that has "tuned in" by setting up

a multicast group membership.

as they are used to identify other devices in a network. MAC addresses are 6 bytes long.

Mbps

Megabits per second.

MDI/MDIX

In cable wiring, the concept of transmit and receive are from the perspective of the PC, which is wired as a

Media Dependant Interface (MDI). In MDI wiring, a PC transmits on pins 1 and 2. At the hub, switch, router,

or access point, the perspective is reversed, and the hub receives on pins 1 and 2. This wiring is referred to

as Media Dependant Interface - Crossover (MDI-X).

An extension of the IP addressing scheme that allows a site to use a single IP network address for multiple

physical networks.

Subnet mask

A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers

configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network

(as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must assigned by InterNIC).

Subnets

A network that is a component of a larger network.

Switch

A device that interconnects several LANs to form a single logical LAN that comprises of several LAN seg-

ments. Switches are similar to bridges, in that they connect LANs of a different type; however they connect

more LANs than a bridge and are generally more sophisticated.
