Install an ADSL Router

Required Equipment

1. ADSL micro filter/splitter or ADSL Faceplate

2. ADSL cable

3. ADSL router with power supply

4. RJ45 Ethernet cable

5. Link-Connect provisioned ADSL line

Microfilter

ADSL Faceplate

Splitter

Fitting Micro Filters

Ensuring the microfilter(s) are installed correctly is very important as failing to do so will disrupt the connection.

Please see the following check points when installing microfilters:

1. Any item that connects to the phone line must go through a microfilter, eg.Fax Machine, Sky TV Box, Telephones, Analogue dialup modems.

2. If an extension cable is used from the BT phone socket to the router, then the microfilter must be fitted at the router end of the extension and NOT the BT wall socket end.

Connecting Up Router

1. Connect microfilter into BT wall socket.

2. Connect ADSL cable into the 'ADSL' connector on the microfilter, and then connect the other end of the ADSL cable into the 'ADSL' connector on the rear of the ADSL Router.

3. Connect the RJ45 Ethernet Cable into one of the 'LAN' ports on the rear of the ADSL Router and then the subsequent end of the RJ45 Ethernet cable into the Ethernet Card on your PC.

4. Connect the Router power supply into the rear of the router and then into the AC mains power outlet in your premises.

Router Settings

The following are the basic settings required by most routers to establish a connection:

" VCI: 38

" VPI: 0

" Encapsulation: PPPoA VCMUX

" Authentication: CHAP

" MTU: 1492

" Primary DNS: 82.144.228.3

" Secondary DNS: 82.144.228.34

If you have any other options or settings available try leaving them at the default and connecting.Should this fail please contact the support desk

No-NAT Configuration

When setting up an NO-NAT (sometimes called routed IP) connection please ensure you do the following:

1. You have a NO-NAT compatible router

2. NAT is disabled on the router

3. DHCP is disabled on the router

4. Make sure the LAN IP addresses is the same and the first IP address in your range as stated on the set up sheet that came with the router.Some routers (Netgear) will not allow you to set up the router in this manner & require you to setup a 'Virtual IP', If you use a netgear please call support as we will need to supply your IP range via a single static

5. Make sure that the correct subnet mask is applied to the LAN interface on the router.

*For /30 (4IP's) the subnet mask would be 225.225.225.252,

*For a /29 (8IP's) the subnet mask would be 255.255.255.248,

*For a /28 (16IP's) the subnet mask will be 255.255.255.240

6. For all machines that connect to the router will need to be statically assigned an IP address from the NO-NAT range. With a /30 you will have 1 usable IP addresses after the router IP for the firewall/server, with a /29 you will have 5 usable IP addresses after the router IP. You must also ensure that the subnet mask entered statically on the PC matches the subnet mask entered into the router in point 5 above.

Using NO-NAT connection in conjunction with a larger internal network

If you require a number of servers on your network with Public IP addresses from your NO-NAT range, but still requiring a larger number of workstation on a separate internal IP range, then a second gateway will be required on your network. This can take the form of a second router or a gateway server with two network cards.
