Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a D-Link DI-1162 Remote Access
Router. Your new router offers ine xpensive yet complete
telecommunications and internetworking solutions for your corporate
office, school or business. It is ideal for everything from Internet
browsing to receiving calls from Remote Dial-in Users. It incorporates
the most recent technologies to make fast, secure and stable
connections to remote stations via LAN to WAN and vice versa.
Distinguishing features of the DI-1162 include support for a full range
of networking protocols such as TCP/IP (Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol), Ethernet, Fast Ethernet as well as various
other networking protocols.
Each DI-1162 router is packed with features that give it the flexibility
to provide a complete networking solution for almost any site. The
router fulfills the need for Internet access, IP-based intranetworks and
LAN to multiple WAN communications.
Ease of Installation
The DI-1162 is a self-contained unit that is quick and easy to install. It
is designed to be a standalone unit or it may be mounted on a standard
19-inch networking equipment rack. It uses standard Ethernet wiri ng to
connect (route) a local area network (LAN) to up to 4 separate wide
area networks (WANs) through dial-up or dedicated , leased lines.
Also included with the router is the DI-1162 Router Configuration
Utility, a Windows-based application that makes configuring the router
a snap.
Introduction 1
DI-1162 Remote Access Router
Networking Compatibility
The DI-1162 is compatible with remote access products from other
companies such as Ascend, Cisco, and 3Com. Furthermore, it supports
Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT remote access
capability.
Product Features
LAN Port
The DI-1162 is equipped with an auto-negotiated 10/100 (Ethernet and
Fast Ethernet) RJ-45 jack for connecting the router to the LAN.
Multiple WAN Ports
The DI-1162 has two EIA-530 WAN ports, each of which can be
connected to a dial-up (dial in or out) line or a dedicated leased line by
multiplexing with a modem or CSU/DSU (Channel Service Unit/ Data
Service Unit) respectively. We recommend connecting only one WAN
port to the Internet.
Expansion Slot/Modules
The DI-1162 contains an expansion slot able to house any one of the
following slide-in expansion modules:
• An RJ-45 NWay 10/100 Ethernet port, giving the router another
LAN connection.
• Two high-speed serial (async/sync) ports for two additional WAN
connections.
• A BRI ISDN module.
2
DI-1162 Remote Access Router
These modules allow you to expand the functionality of the DI-1162 to
fulfill all your internetworking needs.
Dial on Demand
The Dial-On-Demand feature allows the DI-1162 to automatically
place a call to a remote node, via a WAN, whenever there is traffic
coming from any workstation on the LAN to that remote site.
Full Network Management
The DI-1162 incorporates SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) agents and a menu-driven Network Management System
accessible via an RS-232 (console) or Telnet connection.
Security
The DI-1162 supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol), CHAP
(Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol), Layer 2 and IP
Filtering, and the creation of firewalls.
RIP-1/ RIP-2 Routing Protocols
The DI-1162 supports both RIP-1 and RIP-2 (Routing Information
Protocol versions 1 and 2) exchanges with adjacent routers. These
exchanges allow the DI-1162 to send and/or receive routing tables to
adjacent routers in order to streamline WAN communications.
DHCP Support
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the DI-1162
router to automatically assign IP addresses to computers as they enter
the network. This feature frees the network administrator from
Introduction 3
DI-1162 Remote Access Router
assigning and managing IP addresses for each individual machine on
the LAN.
Data Compression
The DI-1162 incorporates the hardware-based Stac LZS Data
Compression for CCP (Compression Control Protocol).
Network Address Translation (NAT/NAPT)
This feature allows multiple users on the LAN to access the Internet
(through an Internet Service Provider) concurrently through a single IP
address. This is especially useful for corporate office environments,
where a large number of users need access to the internet, but only a
few internet addresses are available.
Applications for the DI-1162
Some applications for the DI-1162 include:
Internet Access
The DI-1162 supports the TCP/IP (a.k.a. IP) protocol, which is the
protocol language used for t he Internet. This router allows eve ryone
connected to the LAN to access the internet.
Internet Security
The DI-1162 can act as a firewall between your office network and the
internet, and can hide the size of your office network and the host
addresses of your office computers from prying internet users. It can
also filter traffic to and from the internet allowing only certain types of
communications to or from certain locat ions to pass through.
4
DI-1162 Remote Access Router
Link Branch Offices
The DI-1162 routes communications through its two (upgradeable to
four) WAN ports allowing direct communications to a branch office via
phone lines, the internet or both.
Local Routing
The DI-1162 can route traffic between up to eight local IP networks.
Telecommuting
The DI-1162 allows remote users to dial in and obtain remote access to
the LAN. This feature enables users that have workstations with
remote access capability, e.g. Windows 95, to dial in using a modem
and access the network resources without physically being in the office.
What This Manual Doesn’t Cover
This manual assumes that you are familiar with network management
and networking devices, especially routing protocols.

Installation and Initial Configuration of the Router
This section discusses the different connections that can be made to the
router when setting it up.
Initially, you will only wish to connect the console to the router in
order to configure the other ports. Once that is complete, you will need
to turn off the power to the router and plug in the connection cables to
the other devices. Next, power on the other devices. When they have
finished powering up, power on the router. Each of these steps is
described in detail in the sections below. Please skip any setting
adjustments that do not apply to your configuration needs.
A Warning about Connecting Cables
It is important that correct cables are used for each connection;
otherwise, the router could be damaged.
Installation 13
DI-1162 Remote Access Router
Before connecting or disconnecting an RS-232 cable between the
DI-1162 and the console and modems, please make sure all devices are
off to avoid any chance of damage.
Step 1 - Setting up the Console
The initial setup of the DI-1162, requires connecting a console to
the 9-pin RS-232 Diagnostic port on the router’s front panel. A
serial cable is supplied with the router in order to make this
connection. A console can be a terminal, such as a VT-100, or a
normal PC running te rminal emulation software (such as Microsoft
HyperTerminal, included with Windows). The terminal emulation
software needs to be configured to the following parameters:
◊ VT100 terminal emulation
◊ 9600 baud
◊ No parity, 8 data bits, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit
◊ No flow control
Step 2 - Connecting the Console to the Router
A serial cable is included in the DI-1162 package. To connect this
cable, plug its nine-pin connector into the 9-pin RS-232 Diagnostic
port on the router’s front panel, then connect the other end to the serial
port on the rear of your computer or data terminal.
Please make sure both machines are turned off before making this
connection.
After the connection is made, first power on the console. If you are
using a PC, run the terminal emulation software at this time. After the
PC and the terminal emulation software are up and running, po wer on
the router.

Configuration
Step 3b - Configuring the WAN Ports for Dial-in, Dialout and Leased Lines
Please configure LAN port as described above to familiarize yourself
with the configuration program (the LAN p ort must be configured in
any case). Some settings that were made configuring the LAN will be
repeated below. Please disregard the instructions below if the setting
has already been changed.
Each WAN port can be configured to either receive dial-in calls (act as
a Remote Access Server), dial out to other routers (at branch offices or
the Internet, for instance), or both (but not at the same time). The WAN
ports can also be configured for a leased line (synchronous)
connection. Please note however that we recommend only one single
WAN connection to the Internet since a second connection will not
significantly enhance the performance of the connection.
Enabling a WAN Port
In this section, we will use WAN1 as an example. Other WAN ports
however, will follow the same procedures.
1. The WAN port must be enabled in the Interface
Configuration sub-menu.
♦ Choose Interface Configuration, WAN 1.
♦ Configure the Protocol setting. This is a very important
setting which determines what type of device can be connected
to the WAN port.
