    DSL-G604T 54Mbps Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem/Router Manual IP Concepts This appendix describes some basic IP concepts, the TCP/IP addressing scheme and show how to assign IP Addresses. When setting up the Router, you must make sure it has a valid IP address. Even if you will not use the WAN port (ADSL port), you should, at the very least, make sure the Ethernet LAN port is assigned a valid IP address.
  • Page 85 DSL-G604T 54Mbps Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem/Router Manual Networks attached to the Internet are assigned class types that determine the maximum number of possible hosts per network. The previous figure illustrates how the net and host portions of the IP address differ among the three classes. Class A is assigned to networks that have more than 65,535 hosts;...

    DSL-G604T 54Mbps Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem/Router Manual Subnet Mask In the absence of sub networks, standard TCP/IP addressing may be used by specifying subnet masks as shown below. IP Class Subnet Mask Class A 255.0.0.0 Class B 255.255.0.0 Class C 255.255.255.0 Subnet mask settings other than those listed above add significance to the interpretation of bits in the IP address.

    DSL-G604T 54Mbps Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem/Router Manual Microfilters and Splitters Most ADSL clients will be required to install a simple device that prevents the ADSL line from interfering with regular telephone services. These devices are commonly referred to as microfilters or sometimes called (inaccurately) line splitters.

    DSL-G604T 54Mbps Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem/Router Manual Line Splitter If you are instructed to use a “line splitter”, you must install the device between the Router and the phone jack. Use standard telephone cable with standard RJ-11 connectors. The splitter has three RJ-11 ports used to connect to the wall jack, the Router and if desired, a telephone or telephone device.
