D-Link DSL-562T [20/89] Hardware installation

DSL-562T ADSL Router User’s Guide

Hardware Installation

The DSL-562T maintains three separate interfaces, an Ethernet, a USB and an ADSL interface. Place the Router

in a location where it can be connected to the various devices as well as to a power source. The Router should

not be located where it will be exposed to moisture or excessive heat. Make sure the cables and power cord are

placed safely out of the way so they do not create a tripping hazard. As with any electrical appliance, observe

common sense safety procedures.

The Router can be placed on a shelf or desktop, ideally you should be able to see the LED indicators on the front

if you need to view them for troubleshooting.

Power on Router

CAUTION: The Router must be used with the power adapter included with the device.

To power on the Router:

1. Insert the AC Power Adapter cord into the power receptacle located on the rear panel of the Router and plug

the adapter into a suitable nearby power source.

2. You should see the Power LED indicator light up and remain lit. The Status LED should light solid green

and begin to blink after a few seconds.

3. If the Ethernet port is connected to a working device, check the Ethernet Link/Act LED indicators to make

sure the connection is valid. The Router will attempt to establish the ADSL connection, if the ADSL line is

connected and the Router is properly configured this should light up after several seconds. If this is the first

time installing the device, some settings may need to be changed before the Router can establish a

connection.

Factory Reset Button

settings. The factory default IP address of the Router is 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the

default management Username is admin and the default Password is admin.
