vii

Information you will need about your DSL-2540T ADSL Router:

Username

This is the Username needed access the Router’s
management interface. When you attempt to connect

to the device through a web browser you will be

prompted to enter this Username. The default

Username for the Router is “admin.” The user cannot

Password

This is the Password you will be prompted to enter

when you access the Router’s management interface.

The default Password is “admin.” The user may change

this.

LAN IP addresses for

the DSL-2540T

This is the IP address you will enter into the Address

field of your web browser to access the Router’s

configuration graphical user interface (GUI) using a
web browser. The default IP address is 192.168.1.1.

This may be changed to suit any IP address scheme

the user desires. This address will be the base IP

address used for DHCP service on the LAN when DHCP

is enabled.

LAN Subnet Mask for

the DSL-2540T

This is the subnet mask used by the DSL-2540T, and

will be used throughout your LAN. The default subnet

mask is 255.255.255.0. This can be changed later.

Information you will need about your LAN or computer:

Ethernet NIC

If your computer has an Ethernet NIC, you can

connect the DSL-2540T to this Ethernet port using an

Ethernet cable. You can also use the Ethernet ports

on the DSL-2540T to connect to other computer or

Ethernet devices.

DHCP Client status

Your DSL-2540T ADSL Router is configured, by

default, to be a DHCP server. This means that it can

assign an IP address, subnet mask, and a default
gateway address to computers on your LAN. The

default range of IP addresses the DSL-2540T will

assign are from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.

Your computer (or computers) needs to be configured

to Obtain an IP address automatically (that is,

they need to be configured as DHCP clients.)

It is recommended that your collect and record this information here, or in some other secure place, in case you have to
re-configure your ADSL connection in the future.

Once you have the above information, you are ready to setup and configure your DSL-2540T ADSL Router.
