Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your system from
potential damage.
Safety Cautions
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, re, and damage to the equipment, observe the following
precautions:
• Observe and follow service markings.
• Do not service any product except as explained in your system documentation.
• Opening or removing covers that are marked with the triangular symbol with a lightning bolt
may expose you to electrical shock.
• Only a trained service technician should service components inside these compartments.
• If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical outlet and replace the
part or contact your trained service provider:
• The power cable, extension cable, or plug is damaged.
• An object has fallen into the product.
• The product has been exposed to water.
• The product has been dropped or damaged.
• The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating instructions.
• Keep your system away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents.
• Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate the product in a wet
environment. If the system gets wet, see the appropriate section in your troubleshooting guide or
contact your trained service provider.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your system. Doing so can cause re or electric shock by
shorting out interior components.
• Use the product only with approved equipment.
• Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal components.
• Operate the product only from the type of external power source indicated on the electrical ratings
label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required, consult your service provider or local
power company.
• Also, be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your
location.
• Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided with a power cable for your system or
for any AC powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use
in your country. The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked
on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cable should be greater
than the ratings marked on the product.
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system and peripheral power cables into properly grounded
electrical outlets.
• These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use
adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a
3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
D-Link DSR-Series User Manual iii
• Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products
plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit
for the extension cable or power strip.
• To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a
surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Position system cables and power cables carefully; route cables so that they cannot be stepped on or
tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site
modications.
• Always follow your local/national wiring rules.
• When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable power supplies, if oered with your system,
observe the following guidelines:
• Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power supply.
• Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.
• If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the system by unplugging all
power cables from the power supplies.
• Move products with care; ensure that all casters and/or stabilizers are rmly connected to the system.
Avoid sudden stops and uneven surfaces.

Preface
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage, discharge static
electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can
do so by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
1. When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the
component from the anti-static packing material until you are ready to install the component
in your system. Just before unwrapping the anti-static packaging, be sure to discharge static
electricity from your body.
2. When transporting a sensitive component, rst place it in an anti-static container or package.
3. Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use anti-static oor pads,
workbench pads and an anti-static grounding strap.

D-Link Services Routers oer a secure, high performance networking solution to address the growing needs
of small and medium businesses. Integrated high-speed IEEE 802.11n/ac and 3G wireless technologies oer
comparable performance to traditional wired networks, but with fewer limitations. Optimal network security is
provided via features such as virtual private network (VPN) tunnels, IP Security (IPsec), Point-to-Point Tunneling
Protocol (PPTP), Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP), and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Empower your road warriors
with clientless remote access anywhere and anytime using SSL VPN tunnels.
With the D-Link Services Router you are able to experience a diverse set of benets:
• Comprehensive Management Capabilities
The DSR-500, DSR-1000, DSR-500AC, and DSR-1000AC include dual-WAN Gigabit Ethernet
which provides policy-based service management ensuring maximum productivity for your
business operations. The failover feature maintains data trac without disconnecting when
a landline connection is lost. The Outbound Load Balancing feature adjusts outgoing trac
across two WAN interfaces and optimizes the system performance resulting in high availability.
The solution supports conguring a port as a dedicated DMZ port allowing you to isolate
servers from your LAN.
Note: DSR-150/150N/250/250N product have a single WAN interface, and thus it does not support
Auto Failover and Load Balancing scenarios.
• Superior Wireless Performance
Designed to deliver superior wireless performance, the DSR-150N and DSR-250N include
802.11 a/b/g/n support, allowing for operation on the 2.4 GHz radio band. Multiple In Multiple
Out (MIMO) technology allows the DSR-150N and DSR-250N to provide high data rates with
minimal “dead spots” throughout the wireless coverage area.
Next generation wireless performance is available on the DSR-500AC and DSR-1000AC, which
introduce 802.11AC support to the family. Available on the 5 GHz band, the combination of
wider RF bandwidths and up to 8 MIMO streams take data rates available to supporting AC
clients to the next level.
Note: DSR-150N and DSR-250N support 2.4GHz radio band only.
• Flexible Deployment Options
The DSR series supports Third Generation (3G) Networks via an extendable USB 3G dongle. This
3G network capability oers an additional secure data connection for networks that provide
critical services. The product can be congured to automatically switch to a 3G network
whenever a physical link is lost.
• Robust VPN features
A fully featured virtual private network (VPN) provides your mobile workers and branch
oces with a secure link to your network. The DSR products are capable of simultaneously
managing 5, 5, 10, 20 Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN tunnels respectively, empowering your
mobile users by providing remote access to a central corporate database. Site-to-site VPN
tunnels use IP Security (IPsec) Protocol, Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), or Layer 2
D-Link DSR-Series User Manual 1
Section 1 - Introduction
Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) to facilitate branch oce connectivity through encrypted virtual
links. The DSR-150/150N, DSR-250/250N, DSR-500 and DSR-1000 support 10, 25, 35 and 100
simultaneous IPsec VPN tunnels respectively. The DSR-500AC and DSR-1000AC support 35 and
100 simultaneous IPsec VPN tunnels respectively.
• Ecient D-Link Green Technology
As a concerned member of the global community, D-Link is devoted to providing eco-friendly
products. D-Link Green Wi-Fi and D-Link Green Ethernet save power and prevent waste. The
D-Link Green WLAN scheduler reduces wireless power automatically during o-peak hours.
Likewise the D-Link Green Ethernet program adjusts power usage based on the detected cable
length and link status. In addition, compliance with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)
and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directives make D-Link Green certied
devices the environmentally responsible choice.
