devolo MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router

Preface

Thank you for placing your trust in this devolo product.

With the MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router, you have chosen an ADSL

router that innovatively combines the functions and advantages of an ADSL

modem, a switch, a router and a dLAN adapter in a single device. This com

bination makes it the optimal, user-friendly network and Internet access solu-

tion for small-office and home-office (SOHO) environments.

 The router's ADSL modem provides satisfyingly fast Internet access:

 Download speeds of up to 8 Mbps make transferring music files,

video material, graphics and other high-volume data a pleasure.

 With upload speeds of up to 1 Mbps, you can easily send large e-mail

attachments quickly and at low cost.

 It also serves as an optimal combination of Internet-access router and

network switch:

 The router simplifies the installation of Internet access significantly,

as no special drivers are required for the connected individual com

puters. The access protocol has been implemented in the router

itself.

 The router functionality lets multiple users access the Internet at the

same time. DHCP automates the TCP/IP configuration of the con

nected computers. The router can be configured conveniently using a

Web browser.

 The integrated switch is the foundation for small networks. Up to four

computers can be connected simultaneously. Each of the four ports

can also be used as an uplink port to connect additional routers,

switches or hubs.

 Thanks to its integrated dLAN technology, the device can use your house-

hold electrical wiring as a network:

 PCs in different rooms or on different floors of a building can thus

communicate with other computers in the network and/or access the

DSL connection via your household wiring by adding further dLAN

adapters—without the need to lay network cables.

Introduction

devolo MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router

1 Introduction

1.1 What is ADSL?

The sheer speed of development of computer technology over the last few

years has resulted in a huge increase in the volume of electronic data traffic.

More users every day want to send and receive a constantly increasing vol

ume of data. Conventional transmission technologies (analog modems or

ISDN devices) are no longer equal to the demand.

New technologies are eliminating the restrictions and are offering the user

true broadband communications at significantly higher transfer speeds. An

important criterion for the spread of these access technologies is their avail

ability in as many offices and private households as possible. One of the tech-

nologies is transfer by ADSL, which bridges the section of the network that

connects to the customer (“the last mile”) over standard copper wires. ADSL

can thus be used for broadband access to the Internet, for example.

ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) technology uses three different

ranges of a conventional copper telephone line—two for data communica

tions and one for telephone service. The term 'Asymmetric' indicates that the

transmitting and receiving channels can carry different quantities of data:

 When the user surfs the Internet, the data sent to the Internet Service

Provider (ISP) tend to carry less information (e.g. addresses of web sites

or e-mails). The transmission rate of up to 1 Mbps is generally sufficient

for this purpose.

 To load multimedia content (video sequences, animations, images etc.)

onto the computer from the Internet at acceptable quality and speed, a

transmission rate of up to 8 Mbps brings a significant saving in cost and

time.

1.2 What exactly is dLAN?

There is now a new alternative to the well-known wired LAN and Wireless

LAN network technologies: dLAN (direct LAN, i.e. directly networked). dLAN

is networking using the electric wiring already installed in the building.

Introduction

devolo MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router

Cost factor and transmission quality

dLAN is an especially easy-to-use networking technology. You don't need to

lay cables and you can connect to the network at every power point.

The dLAN standard modulates and demodulates additional frequencies on

the power lines. Modulation and demodulation is a well-known and proven

method of data transmission, which has been in use in other applications for

a number of years. Now it is used to set up Internet and network accesses.

Depending on the attenuation factor, dLAN is capable of covering distances

of at least 200 meters.

With a maximum data rate of 14 Mbps and symmetrical upload and download

speeds, dLAN is comparable to traditional Ethernet network solutions and the

current WIFI

wireless standard for home applications.

Data security and radiation

DES

pro

bit encryption is used, which guarantees secure data transfer within

the network.

dLAN devices from devolo meet the stringent EU industrial standards and

comply with the current standards for electromagnetic radiation. Its radiation

level is actually well below that of Wireless LAN technologies.

1.3 What does the MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem

Router have to offer?

The following is an outline of the principal features of the device giving you

a quick overview of its capabilities.

Simple installation

 Connect computers in your LAN (Ethernet) to the switch of the MicroLink

dLAN ADSL Modem Router, or connect them to your household electrical

power network as a dLAN using HomePlug adapters

 Connect the MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router to the ADSL line using

the ADSL cable

 Connect the MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router to your household

electrical power network using the AC power cable

 Set up the dLAN network with the MicroLink dLAN Configuration Wizard

 Configure Internet access using the setup wizard

 That's it!

Introduction

devolo MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router

Versatile networking

The MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router lets you choose how you would

like to connect your PCs to the Internet—via your household electrical net

work or a conventional network cable. Both options are no problem. Thanks

to its integrated 4-port switch, the computers connected to the MicroLink

dLAN ADSL Modem Router form an internal network with transfer rates of up

to 100 Mbps. In addition, the network can be expanded using the integrated

HomePlug technology without the need for laying additional cables. Each PC

simply needs a MicroLink dLAN connected to an electrical outlet. With dLAN,

you can connect to the Internet, exchange data, share printers or play exciting

multiplayer games from any room of your house.

2.2 Connecting the MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem

Router

Preconditions

Your MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router requires a computer running an

operating system with network support (e.g. Windows 98, Windows Me,

Windows 2000, Windows XP, MAC OS X, Linux) connected to the MicroLink

dLAN ADSL Modem Router either via LAN (Ethernet) or dLAN (power line).

 Connecting via LAN (Ethernet)

To connect a computer to the integrated switch via LAN, use a UTP-CAT5

(Unshielded Twisted Pair, Category 5) network cable with RJ45 plugs,

also known as a patch cable. The computer must have a free LAN port

(RJ45).

 Connecting via dLAN (household power network)

Connecting a computer via dLAN requires an additional dLAN adapter

connected to a suitable port (Ethernet, USB, WLAN) of your computer.

Connection and installation

devolo MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router

햲 Connect the MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router to an AC outlet using

the AC adapter. Turn on the power with the switch on the back. The blue

'Power' LED on the front panel will light up.

햳 Connect the ADSL cable to the 'ADSL' socket on your router and to the

ADSL connection.

햴 Next, use network cables to connect up to four computers to the router's

RJ45 socket and start the connected computers. The associated 'Link/

Act' control lamps light up.

It is important to always start the router before the computers so that the

computers can receive their address configuration from the router while boot-

ing.

As each of the ports also functions as an uplink port, you may connect either

a computer or an additional switch (hub) to any of the 4 ports, should you

need to link more than 4 computers. Thanks to Auto MDI/X, you can use

either crossover or normal twisted-pair cables. An LED labeled 'Link/Act' will

be lit on the front panel for every computer or switch (hub) which is connected

and powered up.

햵 Computers can also be connected to the MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem

Router via your household electrical power network (dLAN) as an alterna

tive to the switch, or in addition to it. Simply connect your computers to

household power outlets using dLAN adapters. The dLAN adapters of the

computers and the integrated dLAN adapter in the power supply of the

MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router will function as a dLAN network.

For more information on configuring the dLAN network, please turn to

3 Router configuration

This chapter will explain how to set up Internet access and how to take

advantage of additional functions and settings of your router with advanced

configuration.

If you intend to use a computer connected via dLAN to configure the router,

you must set up the dLAN network first. For more information, please see

“Configuring the dLAN network with the MicroLink dLAN Configuration Wiz-

ard” on page 41.

The configuration of the MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router can be broken

down into the following steps:

 Check and configure the DHCP parameters and a number of other settings

of the computers in the network

 Set up Internet access

 Configure additional router functions

We recommend using the setup wizard to configure the DHCP parameters

and set up Internet access. It will assist you with the most important settings

and make suggestions for the required configuration steps (

“Setting up Inter-

net access using the setup wizard” on page 15).

Alternatively, you may also set up Internet access using browser-based con-

figuration (“Setting up Internet access manually” on page 16).

The additional functions of the router must be set up manually using the

browser-based configuration (

“Advanced configuration” on page 17).

If you have switched the router's power off and back on, or reset the router

using the 'Factory Default' switch or settings dialogs, you must then also

restart all of the connected computers to update the TCP/IP information.

3.1 Setting up Internet access using the setup

wizard

If you are using a computer with a Windows operating system to configure

the router, you have the option of using the setup wizard.

Reset to Factory Default

To reset the router to its factory defaults, select 'Reset to Factory Default' and

confirm your choice with the Reset button, or press and hold the 'Factory

Default' button on the rear panel of the MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router

briefly. This will restart the MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router. Next,

restart all of the connected computers.

Router configuration

devolo MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router

process. The router will restart automatically when the firmware update is

complete.

The router switches into a special mode during firmware uploads; the ADSL

module is disabled in this mode, for example. Configuration functions and

Internet access are also disabled during this process. The router will remain

in this mode—even if the power is switched off—until the new firmware has

been successfully loaded or the update process canceled.

When the firmware update is complete, it is necessary to reset the router to

its factory defaults by pressing the button on the rear panel of the device.

When the router restarts, the 'Connect' LED will be lit for around 1 minute. Do

not interrupt this process! Switching the MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem

Router off during this time can irreparably damage the router's firmware.

3.3.7 Advanced

These functions are advanced functions which have been preset for optimal

use. Normally, it is not necessary to modify these settings.

Virtual Server

You can use 'Virtual Server' to activate (via IP address) a certain service (spe-

cified by port number) for specific local computers for direct access from the

Internet (e.g. for web, FTP or e-mail servers). If you want to use this option,

dynamic IP address assignment must be disabled on the particular computer,

and a static IP address assigned.

 'Port Start': Enter the WAN port number for the service, e.g. port 25 for e-

mail.

 'Port End': Enter the WAN port number for the service, e.g. port 25 for e-

mail.

 'Private Port Start': Enter the LAN port number for the service.

The port number in the LAN may differ from that in the WAN, i.e. within your

local network, you can assign port numbers that are different to conventional

WAN numbers. In such cases, the router simply diverts the service to the

relevant port.

 'Port Type': This is where you select the appropriate protocol, e.g. 'TCP'.

 'Host IP Address': This is where you enter the IP address of your local

server, e.g. 192.168.0.249.

Confirm your entries by clicking on Add.

DDNS

The Dynamic Domain Name System is an extension to DNS and controls the

assignment of dynamic IP addresses for fixed host names (i.e. computer

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

Router configuration

devolo MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router

names). New IP numbers as assigned by the ISP are automatically forwarded

to the DDNS provider so that a plain-text name (e.g. www.devolo.com) is

constantly available despite the varying IP address.

 'Dynamic DNS Enabled': This is where you activate the DDNS function.

 'DDNS Server': Host name of the DDNS server.

 'Update Type': The is where you select the various DNS products

'static', 'dyndns' and 'custom'.

More information is available from www.dyndns.org.

 'Username': This is where you enter the user name given to you by

your DDNS provider.

 'Password': This is where you enter the password given to you by your

DDNS provider.

 'Host Name ...': Under host name 0 to 4 you enter each of the fixed

computer names (e.g. www.example.dyndns.org).

Route Table

If there are multiple routers on your network, it is useful to set presets for the

routing. The 'Route Table' contains the current routing data. The gateway

associated with the IP address ranges is also stored here. These settings can

be modified while the WAN connection is active.

 'System Default Gateway Configuration':

 'None': The router does not use a default gateway.

 'Auto': The router selects the gateway automatically.

 'Interface': The default gateway can be entered manually.

 'IP Address': IP address of the gateway (or router).

 'Manually Configured Routes':

 'Destination': IP address of the destination network.

 'Netmask' of the destination network.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

Router configuration

devolo MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router

 'Gateway': 'IP Address' of the next router over which the destination

network can be reached.

 'Interface' is the interface over which the target network can be rea-

ched.

PPP Disconnect Timeout

Use 'PPP Disconnect Timeout' to define filters for the idle time. These filters

can be used to accept or discard certain data packets.

The idle time function (default setting: '5') lets you set a time limit so that you

can control your connection charges and reduce costs based on time. If the

router does not receive any admitted data packets for the amount of time spe

cified by the idle time setting, it automatically disconnects from the Internet

server. As soon as it receives a request to connect after disconnecting auto

matically, it automatically reestablishes a connection (if you have enabled

the option 'Reconnect on Internet access').

 'Enable/Disable Idle Time Filter':

 If the 'All traffic will reset Idle Timer (ignore filter below)' option is

enabled, no filters will be applied when establishing the Internet

connection.

 If the 'Only filtered traffic will reset Idle Timer (use filter below)'

option is enabled, the configured filters will be applied when esta

blishing the Internet connection.

 'Apply Filter To': Specify the data to be filtered here.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

Router configuration

devolo MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router

 'Inbound Traffic Only'

 'Outbound Traffic Only' or

 'Inbound and Outbound Traffic'.

 'Filter Details': Define the filters at the protocol level here by specifying

a protocol and a port. Select the appropriate 'Action' to add or remove a

protocol. The following protocols have been preset:

 TCP protocol with number 6

 UDP protocol with number 17

 ICMP protocol with number 1

The default setting for the idle time filters (see illustration) is optimal for most

applications. Please note: By permitting incoming data, your configured idle

time will virtually never elapse due to random incoming data packets. If you

have flat-rate service from your Internet provider (unlimited online time

without additional charges), you obviously do not have to worry about such

"inadvertent” connections to the Internet. However, if your Internet connec

tion is billed by connection time, we recommend keeping the default setting

for the idle time filter.

DNS Proxy

The Domain Name Service protocol converts Internet names (also called URL

addresses, e.g. www.british-telecom.co.uk) into IP addresses (e.g.

212.184.6.56).

 'DNS Proxy': Select 'Enabled' to use the DHCP proxy.

 Select 'Auto Discovery' to use the DNS addresses provided when esta-

blishing the Internet connection.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

Router configuration

devolo MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router

 Select 'User Configuration' to use DNS addresses you have entered

manually.

 'DNS Server IP': When specifying settings, enter the IP address(es) of

your Internet provider's DNS server(s) in the 'DNS Server' field, click

'Add' and confirm with Submit.

ADSL configuration

Settings for the ADSL protocols can be defined under 'ADSL configuration'.

 'User Selected Annex Mode': Annex A or Annex B, depending on the stan-

dard of your ADSL provider.

 'Trellis': the trellis process subtracts transmitted data from the signal mix

for echo cancellation and filters out received information. This complex

process improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the connection for an

enhanced data rate. Support by your ADSL carrier is required in order to

take advantage of the trellis process.

 'Handshake Protocol': communication protocol that governs data flow

between the computer and router.

 'Wiring Selection': connection type of the ADSL cable.

 'Bit Swapping': bit swapping refers to the adaptation of bit distribution in

the various subchannels (sub-carriers) during ongoing operation. The

communication speed is adjusted to match the performance of the chan

nel without interrupting the data flow. The number of bits varies accord-

ing to the intensity of the signal and noise.
