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.
3
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-2520U 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 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista,
Windows 7 and MAC OS.
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) and USB Port

Any computer that uses the Router must be able to connect to it
through the Ethernet port or the USB Port on the Router. These
connections are Ethernet connection and USB device connection
and therefore require that your computer be equipped with an
Ethernet port or USB Port as well. Most notebook computers are
4
now sold with an Ethernet port and a USB Port already installed.
Likewise, most fully assembled desktop computers come with an
Ethernet NIC adapter and USB port as standard equipment. If your
computer does not have an Ethernet port or a USB Port, you must
install an Ethernet NIC adapter or USB driver 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.
5
Installing the Router
Connect the ADSL Line and Telephone

Connect your phone cable between the DSL port of the router and the
MODEM port of the splitter. Connect your phone to the PHONE port of the
splitter. Then connect another phone cable between a phone jack and the

Appendix Troubleshooting
This chapter covers potential problems and the corresponding remedies.
Using LEDs to Diagnose Problems
The Light-Emitting Diodes (LED) are useful aides for finding the
possible causes of problems.
 Problem: Power LED Doesn’t Light Up
The Power (PWR) LED on the front panel does not light up.
STEPS CORRECTIVE ACTION
Make sure that the router’s power adaptor is connected to the router and
1
plugged in to an appropriate power source. Use only the supplied power adaptor.
Check that the router and the power source are both turned on and the router is
2
receiving sufficient power.
3 Turn the router off and on.
4 If the error persists, you may have a hardware problem. Contact your vendor.
 Problem: LAN LED Doesn’t Light Up
The LAN LED on the front panel does not light up.
1 Check the Ethernet cable connections between your router and the computer or
hub.
2 Check for faulty Ethernet cables.
3 Make sure your computer’s Ethernet card is working properly.
4 If the error persists, contact your local distributor for assistance.
 Problem: DSL LED Doesn’t Light Up
The DSL LED on the front panel does not light up.
Check the telephone wire and connections between the router DSL port and the
1
wall jack.
Make sure that the telephone company has checked your phone line and set it up for
2
DSL service.
3 Reset your ADSL line to reinitialize your link to the DSLAM.
49
4 If the problem persists, contact your local distributor for assistance.
Can’t Access Web Configurator
I cannot access the Web configurator.
1 Make sure you are using the correct IP address of the router. Check the IP
address of the router.
2 Make sure that a console session isn’t running.
3 Check that you have enabled Web service access. If you have configured a secured
client IP address, your computer’s IP address must match it. Refer to the chapter on
remote management for details.
4 For WAN access, you must configure remote management to allow server access from
the WAN (or all).
5 Your computer’s and the router’s IP addresses must be on the same subnet for
LAN access.
6 If you changed the router’s LAN IP address, enter the new one as the URL.
7 Remove any filters in LAN or WAN that block Web service.
The Web configurator does not display properly.
1 Make sure you are using Internet Explorer 5.0 or later versions.
2 Delete the temporary Web files and log in again.
In Internet Explorer, click Tools, Internet Options and then click the Delete Files ...
button. When a Delete Files window displays, select Delete all offline content and
click OK. (Steps may vary depending on the version of your Internet browser.)
Forgotten Login Username and Password
I forgot my login username or password.
1 If you have changed the password and forgotten it, you will need to upload the default
configuration file. This will erase all custom configurations and restore factory defaults,
including the password.
50
2 Press the RESET button for five seconds, and then release it. When the SYS LED
begins to blink, the defaults have been restored and the router restarts. Or refer
to the Resetting the router section for uploading a configuration file via console port.
3 The default username is “admin”. The default password is “admin”. The Password and
Username fields are case-sensitive. Make sure that you use the proper casing.
4 It is highly recommended to change the default username and password. Make sure
you record the username and password in a save place.
Can’t Access LAN Interface
I cannot access the router from the LAN or ping any computer on the
LAN.
1 Check the Ethernet LEDs on the front panel. A LAN LED should be on if the port is
connected to a computer or hub. If the 10M/100M LEDs on the front panel are both off.
2 Make sure that the IP address and the subnet mask of the router and your
computer(s) are on the same subnet.
Can’t Access WAN Interface
Initialization of the ADSL connection failed.
1 Check the cable connections between the ADSL port and the wall jack. The DSL LED
on the front panel of the router should be on.
2 Check that your VPI, VCI, type of encapsulation and type of multiplexing settings are the
same as that you obtained from your telephone company and ISP.
3 Restart the router. If you still have problems, you may need to verify your VPI,
VCI, type of encapsulation and type of multiplexing settings with the telephone company
and ISP.
I cannot get a WAN IP address from the ISP.
51
1 The ISP provides the WAN IP address after authenticating you. Authentication may be
through the username and password, the MAC address or the host name.
2 The username and password apply to PPPoE and PPPoA encapsulation only. Make
sure that you have entered the correct Service Type, User Name and Password (be
sure to use the correct casing).
Can’t Access the Internet
I cannot access the Internet.
1 Make sure the router is turned on and connected to the network.
2 If the DSL LED is off, refer to Section A.1.3.
3 Verify your WAN settings.
4 Make sure you entered the correct username and password.
Internet connection disconnects.
1 Check the schedule rules.
2 If you use PPPoA or PPPoE encapsulation, check the idle time-out setting.
3 Contact your ISP.
Can’t Access Remote Management
I cannot remotely manage the ROUTER from the LAN or WAN.
1 Refer to the Remote Management Limitations section in the Firmware and Configuration
File Management chapter for scenarios when remote management may not be possible.
2 Use the router’s WAN IP address when configuring from the WAN.
Use the router’s LAN IP address when configuring from the LAN.
Can’t Access Remote Node Connection
I cannot connect to a remote node or ISP.
52
1 Check the WAN screen to verify that the username and password are entered properly.
2 Verify your login name and password for the remote node.
3 If the problem persists, you may need to verify your login and password with your ISP.
