Connecting The DLINK DI-704P Broadband Router to Your Network  

Connecting The DLINK DI-704P Broadband Router to Your Network
 
 

A. First, connect the power adapter to the receptor at the back panel of the DI-704P and then plug the other end of the power adapter to a wall outlet or power strip. The Power LED will turn ON to indicate proper operation.
 
B. 1. Power off your Cable or DSL modem; some devices may not have a on/off switch and will require you to unplug the power adapter. Now, the DI-704P should be powered on and the Cable / DSL modem should be turned off.
2. Cable / DSL modem (Power Off) – DI-704P (Power On) Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet jack located on the Cable / DSL modem. After the Ethernet cable is securely connected, power on the Cable /
DSL modem by turning on the unit or plugging in the power adapter.
3. Cable / DSL modem (Power On) – DI-704P (Power On) insert the other end of the Ethernet cable to the WAN PORT on the back panel of the DI-704P. The WAN LED light will illuminate to indicate proper connection.
If the WAN LED is not illuminated, please go back to step B1 and repeat the instructions.
 
C. Insert an Ethernet cable to LAN port 1 on the back panel of the DI-704P and an available Ethernet port on the network adapter in the computer you will use to configure the DI-704P. The LED light for LAN Port 1 will illuminate to indicate proper connection. (Note: The LAN Ports on the DI-704P are Auto-MDI/MDIX. Meaning you can use a straight-through or crossover-Ethernet cable to the LAN Ports.)
 
D. The parallel port on the DI-704P is used to connect printers only. Connect one
end of the printer cable to your printer and the other end to the DI-704P.
