DSL-300 ADSL Ethernet Modem User’s Guide About This User’s Guide This user’s guide provides instructions on how to install the DSL-300 ADSL Modem and use it to connect a PC or Ethernet LAN to the Internet or a remote LAN. For the sake of simplicity, this document uses the terms Modem (first letter upper case) to refer specifically to the DSL-300 ADSL Modem, and modem (first letter lower case) to refer to all such devices including the DSL-300.
DSL-300 ADSL Ethernet Modem User’s Guide Introduction ADSL technology is a relatively new technology and may be unfamiliar to the reader. In this section, we introduce you to ADSL technology and give a brief description of its key attributes. We also give a general description of the D-Link DSL-300 Modem and its main features.
DSL-300 ADSL Ethernet Modem User’s Guide Modem Description and Operation The DSL-300 ADSL Ethernet Modem is easy to install and use. The DSL-300 connects to an Ethernet LAN via a standard Ethernet 10BASE-T interface. Your ADSL connection is made using ordinary twisted-pair telephone line with standard RJ-11 connectors. Several PCs can be networked in an Ethernet LAN and connected to the Internet via the Modem.
DSL-300 ADSL Ethernet Modem User’s Guide Front Panel Place the Modem in a location that allows a view of the LED indicators shown in the front panel diagram below. Front Panel Rear Panel The rear panel of the Modem provides access to the power cord connection as well as the various communication port connections.
DSL-300 ADSL Ethernet Modem User’s Guide LED Indicators LED Indicators The LED Indicators read as follows: Power Steady green light indicates the unit is powered on. Status Lights steady green during the ADSL negotiation phase. Once the connection status has been settled, the light will blink green. ADSL: Link Steady green light indicates a valid ADSL connection. This will light after the ADSL negotiation process has been settled. ADSL: Act Blinking green light indicates an active WAN session.
DSL-300 ADSL Ethernet Modem User’s Guide Hardware Installation In this chapter you will learn about the various connections you will need to make in order to use the Modem. When selecting the location for the Modem be sure to allow room to access the connections on the rear panel. You will want to place the Modem so that you will be able to see the LED indicators on the front panel. Allow some space above the Modem for ventilation to avoid problems with overheating.
DSL-300 ADSL Ethernet Modem User’s Guide Connect Ethernet LAN to Modem The Modem may be connected to any 10BASE-T Ethernet LAN. Any connection to an Ethernet concentrating device such as a switch or hub must operate at a speed of 10 Mbps only. Use standard twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 port on the Modem is a crossed (MDI-X) port. Follow standard Ethernet guidelines when deciding what type of cable to use to make this connection.
DSL-300 ADSL Ethernet Modem User’s Guide PC/Server to Modem Connection You can connect the Modem directly to a 10BASE-T (10 Mbps) Ethernet adapter card (NIC) installed on a PC using the Ethernet cable cable as shown in the diagram below: PC to Modem Connection 8
