Reference Manual for the Model DG834 ADSL Firewall Router
Connecting the Router to the Internet 3-7
Note: The DG834 router incorporates Auto Uplink
TM
technology. Each Ethernet LAN port
will automatically sense whether the cable plugged into the port should have a 'normal'
connection (for example, connecting to a computer) or an 'uplink' connection (for example,
connecting to a switch or hub). That port will then configure itself to the correct configuration.
This feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will
accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection.
d. Connect the power adapter to the router and plug it in to a power outlet. Verify the
following:
The power light is lit after turning on the router.
The ADSL link light is solid green, indicating a link has been established to the
ADSL network.
e. Now, turn on your computer. If software usually logs you in to your Internet connection,
do not run that software or cancel it if it starts automatically.
The local lights are lit for any connected computers.
3. LOG IN TO THE DG834.
Note: Your computer needs to be configured for DHCP. For instructions on configuring for
DHCP, please see Appendix C in the Reference Manual on the ADSL Firewall Router
Resource CD.
