This section will walk 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 standard telephone cable. Ask your service provider for more information about the use of low pass

filters with your installation.

Operating Systems

The DSL-2790U 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, and Windows Vista.

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.
