 Section 2 – Installation

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-2740U 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.

D-Link DSL-2740U User Manual 4

 Section 2 – Installation

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.

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.

Ethernet NIC
If your computer has an Ethernet NIC, you can connect the DSL-2740U to the Ethernet port using an Ethernet cable.

DHCP Client status

Your DSL-2740U ADSL Router is configured, by default, to be a DHCP server. This means that it can assign an IP address, subnet mask and a
default gateway address to computers on your LAN. The default range of IP addresses the DSL-2740U will assign are from 192.168.1.2 to
192.168.1.254. Your computer (or computers) needs to be configured to obtain an IP address automatically (that is, they need to be configured as
DHCP clients.)

It is recommended that you backup or record this information here, or in some other secure place, in case you have to re-configure your ADSL
connection in the future.

Once you have the above information, you are ready to setup and configure your DSL-2740U ADSL Router.

DNS
DNS
Domain Name System (DNS) is an Internet service that translates the domain
name into IP address. Because the domain name is alphabetic, it is easier to
remember. The Internet, however, is based on IP addresses. Every time you use a
domain name, DNS translates 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 has 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 > DNS. The page shown in the figure appears on the
right. The DNS in this page is based on IPv4 protocol.

Step 1 Connect your PC to the Router using an Ethernet cable.

Step 2 Open a web browser and enter the address http://192.168.1.1
Step 3 The default username is ‘admin’ and the default password is ‘admin’.
Step 4 If you have changed the password and cannot remember it, you will need to reset the Router to the factory default setting (see question 2),
which will set the password back to ‘admin’.

2. How do I reset my Router to the factory default settings?

Step 1 Ensure the Router is powered on.

Step 2 Press and hold the reset button on the back of the device for approximately 1 second.
Step 3 This process should take around 1 to 2 minutes.

Note:
Resetting the Router to the factory default settings will erase the current configuration settings.

3. What can I do if my Router is not working correctly?

There are a few quick steps you can take to try and resolve any issues:
Step 1 Follow the directions in Question 2 to reset the Router.
Step 2 Check that all the cables are firmly connected at both ends.
Step 3 Check the LEDs on the front of the Router. The Power indicator should be on, the Status indicator should flash, and the DSL and LAN

indicators should be on as well.

Step 4 Please ensure that the settings in the Web-based configuration manager, e.g. ISP username and password, are the same as the settings
that have been provided by your ISP.

4. Why can’t I get an Internet connection?

For ADSL ISP users, please contact your ISP to make sure the service has been enabled/connected by your ISP and that your ISP username and
password are correct.

5. What can I do if my Router can’t be detected by running the installation CD?

Step 1 Ensure the Router is powered on.

Step 2 Check that all the cables are firmly connected at both ends and all LEDs are working correctly.
Step 3 Ensure only one network interface card on your PC is activated.
Step 4 Click on Start > Control Panel > Security Center to disable the firewall.

Note:
There is a potential security issue if the firewall is disabled on your PC. Please remember to turn it back on once you have finished the whole
installation procedure. This will enable you to surf the Internet without any problems.

 Appendix A – Networking Basic

Networking Basics
Check Your IP Address
After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless
router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.

Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click on the OK button.

At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.

This will display the IP address, subnet mask and the default
gateway of your adapter.

If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation,

security settings and the settings on your router. Some
firewall software programs may block a DHCP request on
newly installed adapters.

If you are connecting to a wireless network at a hotspot (e.g.

hotel, coffee shop, airport), please contact an employee or
administrator to verify their wireless network settings.

your network or the LAN IP address on your router.
Example: If the router’s LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1, make your IP address 192.168.1.X where X
is a number between 2 and 254. Make sure that the number you choose is not in use on the
network. Set the Default Gateway to be the same as the LAN IP address of your router
(192.168.1.1).

Set the Primary DNS to be the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.1.1). The
Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.

Step 5
Click on the OK button twice to save your settings.
