D-Link Router Family Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Part I: General Product Overview Questions
1. What is the Router product family?
The Router family of products are a set of multiprotocol remote
access routers that deliver a feature-rich, reliable, and secure
interconnection between your LAN and the remote network such as
Internet or Corporate network via ISDN. The Router product’s
unique features make the interconnection flexible and easy to
upgrade. Router supports IP routing, IPX routing, and
Transparent Bridging. It supports Ethernet, ISDN, and POTS port.
Router can be managed via either RS-232 or Telnet. Its menu-
driven System Management Terminal provides an easy-to-use
interface.
2. What ISDN switches and B Channel protocols are supported by the
Router?
The Router supports the following ISDN switches:
European switches:
DSS1 (also used in other countries)
1TR6
North American switches:
AT&T: NI1, Point-to-Point, Point to Multipoint
Northern Telecom DMS100: NI1, Custom
The Router supports the PPP protocol in the B channels.
3. What are some of the major applications for the Router?
Some of the major applications of the Router include:
Internet Access
The Router can be set up to access the Internet in 15 minutes.
In addition, the Router provides an economic way for small office
to connect to Internet (see Subject 8 for Internet Single User
Account).
LAN-to-LAN Connection
The Router can dial to or answer calls from another remote access
router connected to a different network. The Router supports
TCP/IP, Novell IPX routing and has the capability to bridge any
Ethernet protocol.
Telecommuting Server
The Router allows remote users to dial-in and gain access to your
LAN. This feature enables users that have workstations with
remote access capabilities, e.g., Windows 95, to access the
network resources without physically being in the office.
4. What are the benefits of the Router over other vendors’
products?
D-Link Co.,_______________________________________________________________________ FAQ
FAQ: 2
The Router incorporates features not present on most of their
competitors' products.
Internet Single User Account (SUA) Support
Please see Subject 9 for details.
Multiprotocol Router
The Router is the only remote access router supporting IP
Routing, IPX routing, and Transparent Bridge.
Telecommuting Server
In addition to providing both ISDN and modem access for remote
users, the Router also support dynamic IP address assignment and
Windows 95 compatibility. This makes the Router an ideal product
for serving Windows 95 telecommuter and mobile users. The Router
offers support for these accounts that will allow multiple users
on the LAN (Local Area Network) to access the Internet
concurrently for the cost of a single user.
5. What other Remote Access Servers are compatible with the Router?
The Router has successfully gone through PPP MP compatibility
tests with 30+ vendors in October, 1996 at Pacific Bell.
Furthermore, the Router has been tested extensively with Cisco
routers and Ascend routers (both Max and Pipeline).
6. How to do factory reset for the router?
There is a file called “default.cfg” which be included with
shipping diskette. Use this file to restore to the factory
setting. Select SMT Menu 24.6 'Restore Configuration' and
transfer this file by X-modem file transfer. After file download
complete, the router is in factory setting.
Part II: Application Setup Questions
1. What does my computer need to connect to the Router?
You will need an ethernet card that supports a 10baseT (RJ-45
jack) ethernet interface.
If you intend to connect your computer directly to the Router
without a hub in between, you will need to use a ‘crossover’
cable and a 10baseT ethernet card. The ‘crossover’ cable is a 4-
pair RJ-45 cable with pins #1 and #3 swapped, and pins #2 and #6
swapped.
To initially configure your Router, you need to have an RS-232
cable and a communications program on your computer.
In order to access the WAN (Wide Area Network) on the Router's
ISDN connection, you need to have a Ethernet connection in your
computer.
2. How can I remotely configure my Router using a modem?
D-Link Co.,_______________________________________________________________________ FAQ
FAQ: 3
You can configure your Router remotely through a modem call.
This setup requires an external ‘local’ modem.
Local Remote
v v
[Router]--[Null Modem]-[Modem]--(phone line)--[Modem]-[Computer]
^
RS-232 Cable
The procedure for this setting up this application is as follows:
- Set the modem on the ‘local’ end to IGNORE DTR
- Set the modem on the ‘local’ end to Auto Answer (ATS0=1)
- Set the Router Port Speed (menu 24.2) to be 19200 if the
‘local’ modem is a 14.4K, and 38400 if it is faster (
28.8K+)
- Dial the ‘local’ modem with the ‘remote’ modem.
3. How can I set up my Router as an Internet Firewall?
The Router has easily customizable filter sets that you can use
to set it up as an Internet Firewall. To do this, set the
filters to do the following:
Allow ARP/ICMP/PING packets
Allow TCP/UDP traffic to ports > 1023
Allow HTTP, SMTP, NNTP, DNS
Block everything else inbound from the Internet
Here's an example in Router:
A branch office wants to allow all Packet from headquarter
through Internet, but would like to setup a Internet firewall to
block other intrusion:

The Router can allow multiple hosts on the LAN (My-net) to access the Internet through an ISP
(Internet Service Provider). In this configuration, the Router is assigned a unique Ethernet IP
address on ‘My-net’ (A). This address (A) will be also used to negotiate the connection with the
ISP. Note that the IP address on ‘My-net’ are not hidden from the ISP and the rest of the Internet.
D-Link Co.,_______________________________________________________________________ FAQ
FAQ: 7
In Menu 1:
-Set Route IP to ‘Yes’.
In Menu 3.2:
- Set IP Address to an address on ‘My-net’ (A).
In Menu 4:
- Set ISP IP Addr to ‘C’.
- Make sure Single User Account is set to ‘No’.
In order for the nodes on ‘My-net’ to access the Internet, they
need to have two items configured. First, the should set their
‘default gateway’ to the IP address of the Router (A). Second,
they need to set their Domain Name Server address. If the LAN
has a DNS present, use this address. Otherwise, you will have to
obtain the DNS IP address from the ISP (not C).
