How can I setup my router to work with Earthlink DSL or any
PPPoE connection? (continued)
Step 7
Turn off your DSL modem for 2-3 minutes. Turn back on. Once the modem has
established a link to your ISP, plug the power back into the D-Link VoIP Terminal
Adapter. Wait about 30 seconds and log back into the router.
Step 8 Click on the Status tab in the web configuration where you can view the
device info. You should now see that the device info will show an IP Address, verifying
that the device has connected to a server and has been assigned an IP Address.
Can I use my D-Link VoIP Terminal Adapter to share my Internet
connection provided by AOL DSL Plus?
In most cases, the answer is yes. AOL DSL+ may use PPPoE for authentication
bypassing the client software. If this is the case, then our routers will work with this
service. Please contact AOL if you are not sure.
To set up your VoIP Terminal Adapter:
Step 1 Log into the web-based configuration (10.1.1.1) and configure the WAN side to
use PPPoE.
Step 2 Enter your screen name followed by @aol.com for the user name. Enter your
AOL password in the password box.
Step 3 You will have to set the MTU to 1400. AOL DSL does not allow for anything
higher than 1400.
Step 4 Apply settings.
Step 5 Recycle the power to the modem for 1 minute and then recycle power to the
router. Allow 1 to 2 minutes to connect.
If you connect to the Internet with a different Internet service provider and want to
use the AOL software, you can do that without configuring the VoIP Terminal
Adapter’s firewall settings. You need to configure the AOL software to connect
using TCP/IP.
