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 equipment. If your computer does
not have an Ethernet port, you must install an Ethernet NIC adapter before you can use the Router. If you must
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 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.
Information you will need about your DSL-500T ADSL Router:

The Modem may be reset to its factory default settings by performing a Restore settings
operation within the management interface. If you cannot gain access to the
management interface, you may opt to use the Reset button on the rear panel of the

interface using a web browser. The management interface is
referred to as the web manager in the manual. The default
LAN IP address 10.1.1.1 may be changed to suit any IP
address scheme the user desires. This address will be the
base IP address used for DHCP service on the LAN when
DHCP is enabled.
This is the subnet mask used by the DSL-500T, and will be
used throughout your LAN. The default subnet mask is
255.0.0.0. This can be changed later.
