Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a D-Link DI-1162/DI-1162M Remote Access Router. Your new router offers
inexpensive 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/DI-1162M 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 /DI-1162M 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/DI-1162M 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 wiring 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/DI-1162M Router Configuration Utility, a Windows-based
application that makes configuring the router a snap.
Networking Compatibility
The DI-1162/DI-1162M 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/DI-1162M 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/DI-1162M 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/DI-1162M contains an expansion slot able to house any one of the following slide-in expansion
modules:
♦An RJ-45 10/100 Fast Ethernet port, giving the router another LAN connection.

DI-1162/DI-1162M Remote Access Router

♦Two high-speed serial (async/sync) ports for two additional WAN connections.
♦A BRI ISDN module (S/T interface only).
These modules allow you to expand the functionality of the DI-1162/DI-1162M to fulfill all your internetworking
needs.
Dial on Demand
The Dial-On-Demand feature allows the DI-1162/DI-1162M 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/DI-1162M 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/DI-1162M 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/DI-1162M supports both RIP-1 and RIP-2 (Routing Information Protocol versions 1 and 2)
exchanges with adjacent routers. These exchanges allow the DI-1162/DI-1162M 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/DI-1162M router to automatically assign IP
addresses to computers as they enter the network. This feature frees the network administrator from assigning and
managing IP addresses for each individual machine on the LAN.
Data Compression
The DI-1162/DI-1162M 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/DI-1162M
Some applications for the DI-1162/DI-1162M include:

Internet. This router allows everyone connected to the LAN to access the Internet.
Internet Security
The DI-1162/DI-1162M 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 locations to pass
through.
Link Branch Offices
The DI-1162/DI-1162M 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/DI-1162M can route traffic between up to eight local IP networks.
Telecommuting
The DI-1162/DI-1162M 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.

feet cushion the router, protect the casing from scratches and prevent it from scratching other surfaces.
Rack Mounting
The DI-1162/DI-1162M may stand alone or be mounted on a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Rack mounting
produces an orderly installation when you have a number of related network devices. Use the six supplied screws
to fasten the supplied mounting brackets to either end of the router, then fasten the router into the rack.
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.
Before connecting or disconnecting an RS-232 cable between the DI-1162/DI-1162M 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/DI-1162M 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 terminal 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/DI-1162M 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, power on the router.
Using the Console
The Console Program is the interface that you will be using to configure your DI-1162/DI-1162M. Several
operations that you should be familiar with before you attempt to modify the configuration of your router are listed
below:
♦Moving Forward to Another Menu To move forward to a submenu below the current one, use Tab or
arrow keys to position the cursor on the submenu item and press Enter to view the selected submenu.
♦Moving the Cursor Within a menu, use Tab and arrow keys to navigate through different information
fields.
♦Entering Information There are two types of fields that you will need to fill in. The first requires you to
type in the appropriate information. The second gives you choices to choose from. In the second case, press
the space bar to cycle through the available choices. Upon configuring all fields the submenu, position the
cursor on SAVE and press Enter to save, or position the cursor on EXIT to cancel.

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 submenu.
♦Choose Interface Configuration!WAN 1.
♦Configure the Protocol setting. This is a very important setting as it determines what type of device can be
connected to the WAN port.
◊SLIP Asynchronous mode used for modems.
◊PPP_ASYN Asynchronous mode used for modems.
◊CISCO_HDLC Synchronous mode used for CSU/DSU’s or synchronous modems
using a leased line.
◊PPP_SYN Synchronous mode used for CSU/DSU’s or synchronous modems using a
leased line.
◊FRAME_RELAY A high-speed protocol available from many ISPs for switched lines.
The current version of this router only supports IP over frame relay and PVC. OSPF,
IPX, and bridge are not supported.
♦Position the cursor over the State item and press <space bar>. The State will change from Disable to
Enable.
♦Other items in this screen also need to be configured such as the Phone Number, Baud Rate, and additional
Frame Delay Config settings, which appear on a series of screens accessed from the bottom of this window
if FRAME_RELAY is selected. Please refer to the manual for the device being connected to the WAN port
for the proper settings. For more information regarding these settings, please refer to the appropriate section
in the “Configuration and Management” chapter of this manual.
♦Position the cursor on the Save option at the bottom of the screen and press <Enter> to save the new
setting.
♦Choose Exit in the submenus to return to the Main Menu.
2. Enable IP Networking.
♦Choose Network Configuration!IP Configuration.
♦Position the cursor on the IP Networking line and press <space bar> to Enable it.
♦Position the cursor on the Save option at the bottom of the screen and press <Enter> to save the new
setting.
3. Assign an IP address to the WAN port in the Network Configuration submenu of the Main Menu.
♦Still in Network Configuration!IP Configuration submenu from Step 2 above, choose IP Stack
Configuration!WAN 1.
♦Enter a valid IP address for the WAN in the first item. You may also enter a Netmask if you wish. For more
information about IP Addresses and Subnet masks, please refer to “Appendix C – IP Concepts.”

♦Other items in this screen may also need to be configured such as the State, Routing and Multicast settings.
Please refer to the appropriate section in the “Configuration and Management” chapter of this manual for
detailed explanations concerning the nature and use of these items.
♦Position the cursor on the Save option at the bottom of the screen and press <Enter> to save the new
setting.
♦Choose Exit in the submenus to return to the Main Menu.
Configuring for Dial-in, Dial-out or Leased Line
At this point, you need to decide if the WAN port will be used for dialing in, dialing out, both or a leased line
connection. The settings you make in next few steps depend on how you wish to use the WAN port. Remember,
only one WAN port should be setup to connect to the Internet.
4. Configure the Dial settings in the Advanced Functions submenu.
♦Choose Advanced Functions!Dial Configuration.
♦Choose WAN1.
♦Please refer to the “Configuration and Management” chapter of this manual for more detailed information
regarding the items in this screen.
♦Position the cursor on the Save option at the bottom of the screen and press <Enter> to save the new
setting.
5. Define and configure dial-in users who may access the router and the LAN it is connected to (if applicable).
♦From the Main Menu choose Advanced Functions!Remote Access Configuration!Dial-In User
Profile and press <Enter> in the first empty field.
♦Enter the dial-in user’s Username (this might not be their real name) and Password.
♦Change the State to Enable.
♦Please refer to the “Configuration and Management” chapter of this manual for more detailed information
regarding the items in this screen.
♦Position the cursor on the Save option at the bottom of the screen and press <Enter> to save the new
setting.
The WAN port is now setup to receive calls from that user. At this point, you may wish to define other users
who will dial-in to the router. Please note that User Profiles for dial-in users are valid for any WAN port
configured to receive calls.
6. Define a WAN port for dialing out.
♦From the Main Menu choose Advanced Functions!Remote Access Configuration !Remote Network
Profile and press <Enter> in the first empty field.
♦Set the Direction to In, Out, or Both.
♦Enter a Name and Password used to establish Incoming and/or Outgoing connections (if the remote site
uses PAP or CHAP).

regarding the items in this screen.
♦Position the cursor on the Save option at the bottom of the screen and press <Enter> to save the new
setting.
♦Choose Exit in the submenus to return to the Main Menu.
7. Define a WAN port for a leased line connection.
♦There are only three steps that need to be done to configure a WAN port for using a leased line and they
have already been done. They are numbers 1, 2 and 3; enabling the WAN port in the Interface
Configuration submenu, configuring the Protocol setting to a synchronous mode, and assigning an IP
Address to the WAN port in the Network Configuration submenu. Remember to save any submenu
screens in which you have made changes.
Choose LOGOFF from the Main Menu.
Your WAN ports are now configured and should operate normally. Please note that many of the settings
configured here depend on the type and capabilities of the device being connected.
At this point in the installation process, you need to turn off the router. Don’t worry. As long as you saved each
screen in the configuration process, your settings will have been saved in the EEPROM and will not be lost.
Step 4 - Connecting the Router to a LAN
Your DI-1162/DI-1162M has a single LAN port for connecting to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet switch or hub.
The jack for the router’s Ethernet port is of the type known as EIA RJ-45. The cabling used should be Category 3,
4 or 5 UTP or STP depending on the connection speed, fitted with an RJ-45 connector.
The 10/100M auto-negotiation feature allows this port to automatically configure itself to match the settings used
by the port it is being connected to. If it is connected to another 10/100 Fast Ethernet capable port, the two ports
will configure themselves to attain the best connection possible.
Full duplex mode will only be enabled if this port is connected to a full-duplex capable switched port.
At this point, please connect the router to the LAN.
Step 5 - Connecting the Router to WAN Devices
The DI-1162/DI-1162M has two DB-25 ports corresponding to WANs 1 & 2. These two WAN ports are both
synchronous/asynchronous ports, and can connect to a modem or CSU/DSU using a standard serial cable with a
DB-25 connector at one end.
Make sure both the WAN device(s) and the router are turned OFF when making these connections.
Step 6 – Plugging in All Devices
Plug the 100 ~ 240V AC/DC power cord into the power jack on the router’s rear panel and into a power strip or
grounded wall outlet.
At this point in the installation, you may plug in and power on all other devices. Do not power on the router yet.

Step 7 - Powering Up the DI-1162/DI-1162M
After all the devices are powered up, the DI-1162/DI-1162M can be turned ON. The router will perform a POST
(Power-On Self-Test). It is during this POST procedure that the PROM Configuration Menu can be accessed.
The router is now able to use the LAN and WAN ports.
The router must be further configured for managing your network. This can now be done by using the console, the
included Windows-based Configuration Utility, or Telnet.
For more information about configuring or managing the router, please refer to the next chapter, “Configuration
and Management.”
