Introduction
TERRIFIC VPN PERFORMANCE
For optimal VPN conguration, the DIR-140L has an integrated VPN client and server to support almost any required VPN policy. This
device has a hardware VPN engine to support and manage up to 25 VPN congurations. The DIR-140L can support IPSec, PPTP, L2TP,
and GRE protocols in server mode and can handle pass-through trac as well. Advanced VPN conguration options include: DES, 3DES,
and AES encryption, IKE/ISAKMP key management, Main/Aggressive Negotiation modes, and VPN authentication support using the
internal 10-user database.
USER CONFIGURABLE INTERFACE
The DIR-140L features an intuitive user interface that can easily be congured and monitored via D-Link’s web-based management
interface. These conguration options can be managed through Admin or Read/Write administrator rights. With these access management
levels, any authorized user can easily congure or access the management interface of the DIR-140L.
USE MYDLINK TO MONITOR YOUR NETWORK
The Broadband Cloud VPN Router is mydlink-enabled, so you can eortlessly access and view your network no matter where you are.
See who is connected to your router, change settings, or block someone from using your network connection, all from any Internet
connected PC, or an iOS or Android mobile device. Home users can check on their children’s web browsing habits, and business users
can manage employee Internet activity, all while staying informed and in control on the go.
ADVANCED HARDWARE FEATURES
The DIR-140L can be connected to a cable or DSL line to share high-speed Internet access. It also doubles as a 4-port full-duplex 10/100
switch to connect up to four Ethernet-enabled devices, and you can simply add more switches to expand your wired network. In addition,
you can create a Virtual Private Network (VPN) with the DIR-140L and allow up to 25 o-site or traveling users to securely access your
central network through the Internet simultaneously.
TOTAL NETWORK SECURITY
The DIR-140L has a host of security features to prevent unauthorized access and utilizes dual active rewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent
potential attacks from across the Internet.

Section 2 - Installation
Before you Begin
Installation
This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router
in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, or in an attic or garage.
• Please congure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem.
• You can only use the Ethernet port on your modem. If you were using a USB connection before using the router,
then you must turn o your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable to the Internet port
on the router, and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call your ISP to change connection
types (USB to Ethernet).
• If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as WinPoet,
Broadjump, or Enternet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.
