Chapter 1 Introduction

This chapter describes the features of the NETGEAR DM111P ADSL2+ Ethernet Modem, the packaging list, and describes the connectors, LEDs, and pushbuttons on the front and rear panels. Note: If you are unfamiliar with networking and routing, refer to Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing: in Appendix B to become more familiar with the terms and procedures used in this manual.

About the Modem

The modem provides an always-on Internet connection for home and office networks. The 24Mbps downstream and 1.5-Mbps upstream throughput delivers true broadband performance. The modem is ideal for seting up your network with related NETGEAR routers, such as the 108 Mbps Wireless Firewall Router (GT624) or the 54 Mbps Wireless Router (WGR614).

Key Features

The ADSL2+ Modem provides the following features: Supports the full range of Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) standards Easy, Web-based setup for installation and management Extensive Internet protocol support 10/100 Mbps auto sensing and Auto Uplink (Auto MDI-X feature that eliminates the need for crossover cables) LAN Ethernet connections
These features are discussed below.
Introduction v1.0, August 2006
Easy Installation and Management
You can install, configure, and operate the DM111P within minutes after connecting it to the network. The following features simplify installation and management tasks: Browser-based management Browser-based configuration allows you to easily configure your modem from almost any type of personal computer, such as Windows, Macintosh, or Linux. A user-friendly Setup Wizard is provided and online help documentation is built into the browser-based Web Management Interface. Smart Wizard A wizard built into the modem automatically senses the type of Internet connection, asking you only for the information required for your type of ISP account. Diagnostic functions The modem incorporates built-in diagnostic functions such as Ping, DNS lookup, and remote reboot. These functions allow you to test Internet connectivity and reboot the modem. You can use these diagnostic functions directly from the DM111P when you are connected on the LAN or when you are connected over the Internet via the remote management function. Visual monitoring The modems front panel LEDs provide an easy way to monitor its status and activity. Flash erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) for firmware upgrades.

Protocol Support

The DM111P supports Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP). Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing: in Appendix B provides further information on TCP/IP. Automatic Configuration of Attached PCs by DHCP The DM111P dynamically assigns network configuration information, including IP, modem, and domain name server (DNS) addresses, to attached PCs on the LAN using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies configuration of PCs on your local network. PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) PPP over Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an ADSL connection by simulating a dial-up connection. This feature eliminates the need to run a login program such as EnterNet or WinPOET on your computer.

1-2 v1.0, August 2006

Introduction
PPP over ATM (PPPoA) PPP over ATM is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an ADSL connection by simulating an ATM connection.
Auto Sensing and Auto Uplink LAN Ethernet Connections
With its internal 10/100 switch, the DM111P can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard Ethernet network or a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network. The local LAN ports are autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation. The modem incorporates Auto UplinkTM technology. Each local Ethernet port will automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a normal connection such as to a computer or an uplink connection such as 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.

Basic Functioning

After you turn on power to the modem, the following sequence of events should occur: 1. When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED initially displays red to indicate that the self-test procedure is running (see The Modems Front Panel on page 1-5 for an illustration and explanation of the LEDs). 2. After approximately 10 seconds, verify that: a. The Power LED changes color from red to green. b. The LAN port LEDs is lit to indicate that the modem is connected to your PC or router.
Troubleshooting v1.0, August 2006
c. The ADSL port LED is lit, indicating that your modem is synchronized to your ISPs DSLAM. d. The Internet LED is lit to indicate that you have an Internet connection. If any of these conditions does not occur, refer to the appropriate following section.

Power LED Not On

If the Power and other LEDs are off when your modem is turned on: Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to your modem, that the power supply adapter is properly connected to a functioning power outlet, and the power switch on the back of the modem is pressed in. Check that you are using the 12 V DC power adapter supplied by NETGEAR for this product.
If the error persists, you have a hardware problem and should contact technical support.
Power LED Never Turns Green
If the Power LED never turns green, the modems self-test procedure failed. Cycle the power to see if the modem recovers. Clear the modems configuration to factory defaults. This will set the modems IP address to 192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in Using the Reset button on page 4-7.
If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact technical support.
ADSL LED not On or Blinking
If the ADSL LED is not lit, no ADSL link is detected. Check the following: Make sure that the telephone jack is livetemporarily connect a standard telephone to the telephone jack to check for a dial tone. Make sure that the telephone cable connections are secure at the modem and at the ADSLcapable telephone jack.
If the ADSL LED is on, but is continuously blinking, the modem cannot synchronize with your ISPs equipment. If you have just installed the modem and the ADSL LED has never been solid on, check the following:

4-2 v1.0, August 2006

Troubleshooting
Disconnect all telephones on the line. If this solves the problem, reconnect the telephones one at a time, being careful to use a microfilter on each telephone. If the microfilters are connected correctly, you should be able to connect all your telephones. If disconnecting telephones does not result in a green Internet LED, there may be a problem with your wiring. If the telephone company has tested the ADSL signal at your Network Interface Device (NID), then you may have poor quality wiring in your house. Verify that you are connected to the correct telephone line. If you have more than one phone line, be sure that you are connected to the line with the ADSL service. It may be necessary to use a swapper if you ADSL signal is on pins 1 and 4 or the RJ-11 jack. The ADSL2+ Modem uses pins 2 and 3. Log in to the modem interface, as described in Opening the Web-Based Modem Management Utility on page 2-4, and select ADSL Settings from the Setup section of the main menu. Make sure your login name and account password are correct and the ADSL settings are set to the values required by your ISP.

Restoring the Default Configuration and Password
This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, changing the modems administration password to password and the IP address to 192.168.0.1. You can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults in two ways: Use the Erase function of the Web Configuration Manager (see Backing Up, Restoring, or Erasing Your Settings on page 3-2). Use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router. Use this method for cases when the administration password or IP address is not known.

Using the Reset button

To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the administration password or IP address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router. 1. Press and hold the default reset button until the Power LED turns red (about 10 seconds). 2. Release the Default Reset button and wait for the router to reboot.
