Static Routing
This allows you to select a data path to a particular network destination that will
remain in the routing table and never “age out”. If you wish to define a specific
route that will always be used for data traffic from your LAN to a specific
destination within your LAN (for example to another router or a server) or
outside your network (to a ISP defined default gateway for instance).
Default Routing
This allows you to choose a default path for incoming...

Prepare for Installation
For the smoothest possible installation, assemble all the equipment and
information needed to set up the Router and establish the initial ADSL
connection before you begin. Everything needed for the installation is listed and
discussed in this chapter.
Microfilters and Splitters
Most ADSL clients will be required to install a simple device that prevents the
ADSL line from interfering with regular telephone services. These devices are
commonly...

Microfilters
Unless you are instructed to use a “line splitter” (see below), it will be necessary
to install a microfilter (low pass filter) device for each telephone or telephone
device (answering machines, Faxes etc.) that share the line with the ADSL
service. Microfilters are easy-to-install, in-line devices, which attach to the
telephone cable between the telephone and wall jack. Microfilters that install
behind the wall plate are also available. A typical in-line...

Line Splitter
If you are instructed to use a “line splitter”, you must install the device between
the Modem and the phone jack. Use standard telephone cable with standard RJ-
11 connectors. The splitter has three RJ-11 ports used to connect to the wall jack,
the Modem and if desired, a telephone or telephone device. The connection ports
are typically labeled as follows:
Line
 - This port connects to the wall jack.
ADSL
 – This port connects to the Modem.

Additional Requirements
You will need a PC (referred to in this guide as the Manager PC) to set up and
use the Router. In addition, it will be necessary to configure the device using
information provided by your ADSL service provider. This information is used to
establish the parameters of the ADSL connection and identify the Router on the
WAN. The requirements for the PCs on your LAN are summarized below.
PC WORKSTATION REQUIREMENTS
You can use the Router with PCs...

CONNECTION METHOD
It is necessary to know the connection method used for the ADSL connection. The
connection method is also known as the ADSL Protocol, Encapsulation Protocol
or Encapsulation Method. These protocols are defined by “RFCs” which are
internationally recognized standards for networking protocols. You will be
required to configure the Router to use the correct method. PPP connections
require account information to be entered and stored in the device....
