D-Link DSL500 CONFIGURATION

Access the Web-based Manager

The Manager PC can now use a web browser to communicate with the Router.

Note: Be sure that the Manager PC is not configured to use a proxy server in the Internet settings. In Windows Internet Explorer, you can check if a proxy server is enabled using the following procedure:

1. In Windows, click on the START button, go to Settings and choose Control Panel
2. In the Control Panel window, double-click on the Internet Options icon
3. Click the Connections tab and click on the LAN Settings button
4. Verify that the Use proxy server option is NOT checked. If it is checked, click in the checked box to deselect the option and click OK

To use the web-based management software, launch a suitable web browser and direct it to the IP address of the Router. Type in http:// followed by the default IP address, 192.168.0.1 in the address bar of the browser. The URL in the address bar should read: http://192.168.0.1.

In the page that opens, click on the Login to web-based management module button in the center. A new window will appear and you will be prompted for a user name and password to access the web-based manager. Use the default user name admin and password admin for first time set up. You should change the web-based manager access user name and password once you have verified that a connection can be established. The user name and password allows any PC within the same subnet as the Router to access the web-based manager.

Once you have changed the connection method to PPPoE, saved the configuration change and restarted the device, you can proceed to enter authentication information used to connect to the WAN. Follow these steps:

1. Under PPPoE Login, enter the Login User Name used for your network account. The user name and login password, are used to authenticate the identity of the ADSL client and provide access to the service provider’s network. The user name and login password can be any combination of up to 64 characters
2. Enter the Login Password
3. Unless you are instructed to use a different Authentication method, leave the default chap protocol selected. The alternative method, pap, can be selected from the pull-down menu if required by the service provider
4. Leave the Connect on Demand option as enabled in the pull-down menu. This will allow the Router to establish a WAN connection upon restarting
5. Leave Idle Time set to the default value 0
6. Click on the OK button on the bottom of the window. A new screen appears
7. The Save changes and reboot system message prompt offers two option:
   • You can save the configuration changes and restart the device now by clicking OK; or,
   • If you want to change the user name and password used to access the Web Manager, select the Continue and do ‘Save Changes’ later option and click OK, and go to the System Username and Password menu in the Maintenance folder
