A) Operating Temperature - In a rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than the ambient
temperature of the room. The equipment should
be installed in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specied by
the manufacturer.
B) Air Flow - Make sure that the amount of air ow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.

C) Mechanical Loading - Prevent unsafe conditions
by avoiding uneven mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be
given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit and the eect that overloading of
the circuits might have on overcurrent protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration
of equipment power ratings displayed on the
nameplate should be used when addressing this
concern.
E) Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted
equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections
other than direct connections to the power supply
(e.g. use of power strips).
Rack Installation
Please follow the instructions below for how to
mount the DFL-870 in a standard 19” rack.
1. Attach the included brackets to both sides of
the DFL-870 and secure them with the provided
screws.
Connecting To The Network
When powering on the device, allow 1 to 2 minutes
for the device to boot up completely before
connecting it to the network. Please refer to the
instructions below for making network connections:
1. Using an Ethernet cable, connect the external
router to the WAN1 port on the rewall. Port 1 is
pre-congured as the WAN1 network segment.
2. (Optional) Using an Ethernet cable, connect a
switch to the DMZ port (port 3 on the device).
3. Using an Ethernet cable, connect other Ethernet
devices, such as a switch, to the LAN ports (ports
4, 5, and 6 on the device). These ports are precongured as LAN interfaces by default.
4. Connect a management station to the console
port on the DFL-870 using the included cable to
congure the device using the CLI.
Note: When connecting a PC to the console port with
the included Mini-USB to USB cable, Windows will
recognize the device and automatically install the
appropriate driver. When using a Linux or MacOSbased system, you may need manually download
and install the mini-USB drivers. To download these
drivers, visit http://security.dlink.com.tw and
proceed to Support > Download Software.

Accessing the Firewall
The DFL-870’s web UI can be accessed using one of
the following browsers: Firefox 11+, Opera 11.6+,
Safari 5+, Internet Explorer 9+, or Chrome 18+.
Note: The DFL-870 allows both HTTP and HTTPS
connections from any management host. However,
for security reasons, only a secure HTTPS connection
is allowed by default. For more information on
conguring connection settings, please refer to the
user manual.
1. Connect the management station to LAN1
(port 4). Make sure that the management
station is congured with a static IP address in
the 192.168.10.2-254 range with a subnet of
255.255.255.0.
2. Launch one of the compatible web browsers, and
enter the default IP address https://192.168.10.1
into the address bar.
