Device Installation
The DSL-2500U connects two separate physical interfaces, an ADSL (WAN) and an Ethernet (LAN) 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
The Router must be used with the power adapter included with the device.
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. Depress the Power button into the on position. 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.
