•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.

D-Link DSR-Series User Manual

Preface

•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.

•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 modifications.

•Always follow your local/national wiring rules.

•When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable power supplies, if offered 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 firmly 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 antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in your system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.

2.When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or package.

3.Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads, workbench pads and an antistatic grounding strap.

Section 1 - Introduction

Introduction

D-Link Services Routers offer 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 offer 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 benefits:

•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 traffic without disconnecting when a landline connection is lost. The Outbound Load Balancing feature adjusts outgoing traffic across two WAN interfaces and optimizes the system performance resulting in high availability. The solution supports configuring 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

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 the 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 offers an additional secure data connection for networks that provide critical services. The product can be configured 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 offices 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 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) to facilitate branch office connectivity through encrypted virtual links. The DSR-150/150N, DSR-250/250N, DSR-500/500N and DSR-1000/1000N 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.

Section 4 - LAN Configuration

LAN Configuration

By default, the router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to the hosts on the LAN and WLAN network. With DHCP, PCs and other LAN devices can be assigned IP addresses as well as addresses for DNS servers, Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) servers, and the default gateway. With DHCP server enabled the router’s IP address serves as the gateway address for LAN and WLAN clients. The PCs in the LAN are assigned IP addresses from a pool of addresses specified in this procedure. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.

For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings are satisfactory. If you want another PC on your network to be the DHCP server or if you are manually configuring the network settings of all of your PCs, set the DHCP mode to‘none’. DHCP relay can be used to forward DHCP lease information from another DHCP server on the network. This is particularly useful for wireless clients.

Instead of using a DNS server, you can use a Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server. A WINS server is the equivalent of a DNS server but uses the NetBIOS protocol to resolve host names. The router includes the WINS server IP address in the DHCP configuration when acknowledging a DHCP request from a DHCP client.

You can also enable DNS proxy for the LAN. When this is enabled the router then as a proxy for all DNS requests and communicates with the ISP’s DNS servers. When disabled all DHCP clients receive the DNS IP addresses of the ISP.
