How to configure DI-7xx for ADSL with PPPoE?

The DI-7xx provides Web based configuration. You can configure your DI-7xx 
through your Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer browser in MS Windows, 
Macintosh or UNIX based platforms. 


SETUP YOUR COMPUTER

First set your computer up to obtain IP address automatically:
You can do this under Control Panel > Network > TCP/IP (linked to your network card) > 
Properties. In Windows XP select Local Area Connection > Properties. Connect your 
computer to the DI-7xx (using straight-through cable), make sure you are getting a 
link light on the router on the port you have the computer connected to.
Restart PC.

After rebooting check the IP address that you have got:
in Win95/98 - go to Start > Run > winipcfg > OK > select your adapter and look 
under IP Address. 
in Win2000/XP go to Start > Run > cmd > OK > ipconfig /all > look for IP Address. 

It should be something like 192.168.0.x 

If it is not - do the following: 
in Win95/98 - go to Start > Run > winipcfg > OK > select your adapter and press Release 
All and then Renew All.
in Win2000/XP go to Start > Run > cmd > OK > ipconfig /release (hit Enter) > 
ipconfig /renew (hit Enter)

Start your Internet browser (ensure that any proxy settings are disabled. In IE: under 
Tools > Internet Options > Connection > LAN Settings). Then, type the IP address of the 
DI-7xx (the default IP address is 192.168.0.1) into the Location (for Netscape) or Address 
(for IE) field and press "Enter" For example: http://192.168.0.1. After the connection is 
established, you will see the web user interface. To log in, enter the system password 
(the factory setting is "admin") in the System Password field and click on the "Log in" button. 


DI-7xx SETUP

Please configure the DI-7xx as follows: 

After login, click on "Setup" at the bottom of the page
Under WAN Type click on "Change..."
Select "PPP over Ethernet" and then save.

Then go to "Setup" menu and enter your user name in the field "Account". Enter your 
password in the "Password" field. User name and password are provided by your 
Internet provider. Telstra customers require to add "@bigpond" or "@direct.telstra.net"
to their user names. 

Save and Reboot. 
Go to "Tools" menu in DI-7xx and click on "Clone MAC". Do this from the computer which
the ADSL was directly connected to the last time. This will place the MAC address of your 
computer into the DI-7xx. 

Thats usually all the setup this is required in DI-7xx. You just need to set your computer 
to "obtain IP address automatically", restart , and you should be ready to go. 

If the problem is still there, then please power off your ADSL modem (which is connected 
to DI-7xx), wait for 30 secs then power it back on. 

Once the DI-7xx has sucessfully connected to cable network, you will see some IP address
information (i.e IP address numbers etc) from the "Information" menu of DI-7xx. When it is 
not connected, it will usually show 0.0.0.0 there. Click on "Renew". 

Note: 
Ensure that the TCP/IP of your computers are properly configured in order to be able 
to setup the DI-7xx. If the IP address of the DI-7xx is 192.168.0.1, the IP address of 
your computer must be 192.168.0.X (where "X" is a number between 2 and 254). Each 
computer on your network must have a different IP address within that range. The 
default gateway must be 192.168.0.1 - the IP of DI-7xx.

The TCP/IP environment of your computer can be configured in two ways. You can either 
set up a fixed IP address or it can be set to obtain the IP address from the DHCP 
server in DI-7xx ("Obtain IP Address Automatically" mode). 

For example, 
1. Configure IP as 192.168.0.3, subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and gateway as 
192.168.0.1. Also you need to enter the DNS IP address of your ISP or more conveniently, 
2. Configure your computers to load TCP/IP setting automatically, that is, via the DHCP 
server of the DI-7xx.
