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 VDSL2(ADSL/ADSL2+) 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
VDSL2(ADSL/ADSL2+) line. These filters are easy to install passive devices that connect to the VDSL2(ADSL/ADSL2+) 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-224 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,
Windows 8, and Windows10.
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
