Chapter 1. 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 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-500N, DSR-1000 and DSR-1000N 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 second WAN port can be configured as a DMZ port allowing you to isolate
servers from your LAN.
DSR-150/150N/250 /250N 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-500N and DSR-
1000N include 802.11 a/b/g/n support, allowing for operation on either the 2.4
GHz or 5 GHz radio bands. Multiple In Multiple Out (MIMO) technology
allows the DSR-500N and DSR-1000N to provide high data rates with minimal
“dead spots” throughout the wireless coverage area.
DSR-150N, 250N and DSR-500N supports the 2.4GHz radio band only.
•Flexible Deployment Options
The DSR-1000 / 1000N 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 DSR-
1000N 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-

Chapter 2. Configuring Your Network: LAN Setup
It is assumed that the user has a machine for management connected to the LAN to the router. The LAN
connection may be through the wired Ethernet ports available on the router, or once the initial setup is
complete, the DSR may also be managed through its wireless interface as it is bridged with the LAN.
Access the router’s graphical user interface (GUI) for management by using any web browser, such as
Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox:
•Go to http://192.168.10.1 (default IP address) to display the router’s management login screen.
•Default login credentials for the management GUI:
•Username: admin
•Password: admin
If the router’s LAN IP address was changed, use that IP address in the navigation bar of the browser to
access the router’s management UI.
2.1 LAN Configuration
Setup > Network Settings > LAN Configuration
By default, the router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to the hosts
on the WLAN or LAN 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 the 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 LAN device that is the network’s DHCP server; 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 hostnames.
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.
To configure LAN Connectivity, please follow the steps below:
1. In the LAN Setup page, enter the following information for your router:
•IP address (factory default: 192.168.10.1).

Unified Services Router User Manual
14
If you change the IP address and click Save Settings, the GUI will not respond. Open a new connection
to the new IP address and log in again. Be sure the LAN host (the machine used to manage the router)
has obtained IP address from newly assigned pool (or has a static IP address in the router’s LAN
subnet) before accessing the router via changed IP address.
•Subnet mask (factory default: 255.255.255.0).
2. In the DHCP section, select the DHCP mode:
•None: the router’s DHCP server is disabled for the LAN
•DHCP Server. With this option the router assigns an IP address within the specified range
plus additional specified information to any LAN device that requests DHCP served
addresses.
•DHCP Relay: With this option enabled, DHCP clients on the LAN can receive IP address
leases and corresponding information from a DHCP server on a different subnet. Specify
the Relay Gateway, and when LAN clients make a DHCP request it will be passed along to
the server accessible via the Relay Gateway IP address.
•If DHCP is being enabled, enter the following DHCP server parameters:
•Starting and Ending IP Addresses: Enter the first and last continuous addresses in the IP
address pool. Any new DHCP client joining the LAN is assigned an IP address in this range.
The default starting address is 192.168.10.2. The default ending address is 192.168.10.100.
These addresses should be in the same IP address subnet as the router’s LAN IP address.
You may wish to save part of the subnet range for devices with statically assigned IP
addresses in the LAN.
•Primary and Secondary DNS servers: If configured domain name system (DNS) servers are
available on the LAN enter their IP addresses here.
•WINS Server (optional): Enter the IP address for the WINS server or, if present in your
network, the Windows NetBIOS server.
•Lease Time: Enter the time, in hours, for which IP addresses are leased to clients.
•Relay Gateway: Enter the gateway address. This is the only configuration parameter
required in this section when DHCP Relay is selected as its DHCP mode
3. In the DNS Host Name Mapping section:
•Host Name: Provide a valid host name
•IP address: Provide the IP address of the host name,
4. In the LAN proxy section:

Unified Services Router User Manual
15
•Enable DNS Proxy: To enable the router to act as a proxy for all DNS requests and
communicate with the ISP’s DNS servers, click the checkbox.
5. Click Save Settings to apply all changes.

2.1.1 LAN DHCP Reserved IPs
Setup > Network Settings > LAN DHCP Reserved IPs
The router’s DHCP server can assign TCP/IP configurations to computers in the LAN explicitly by
adding client's network interface hardware address and the IP address to be assigned to that client in
DHCP server's database. Whenever DHCP server receives a request from client, hardware address of
that client is compared with the hardware address list present in the database, if an IP address is
already assigned to that computer or device in the database , the customized IP address is configured
otherwise an IP address is assigned to the client automatically from the DHCP pool.
Computer Name: The user defined name for the LAN host.

Unified Services Router User Manual

IP Addresses: The LAN IP address of a host that is reserved by the DHCP server.
MAC Addresses: The MAC address that will be assigned the reserved IP address when it is on the
LAN.
Associate with IP/MAC Binding: When the user enables this option the Computer Name, IP and
MAC addresses are associated with the IP/MAC binding.
The actions that can be taken on list of reserved IP addresses are:
Select: Selects all the reserved IP addresses in the list.
Edit: Opens the LAN DHCP Reserved IP Configuration page to edit the selected binding rule.
Delete: Deletes the selected IP address reservation(s)
Add: Opens the LAN DHCP Reserved IP Configuration page to add a new binding rule.

(1) In IPv6 mode, the LAN DHCP server is disabled by default (similar to IPv4 mode). The
DHCPv6 server will serve IPv6 addresses from configured address pools with the IPv6 Prefix
Length assigned to the LAN.
IPv4 / IPv6 mode must be enabled in the Advanced > IPv6 > IP mode to enable IPv6 configuration
options.

the prefix length. The IPv6 network (subnet) is identified by the initial bits of the address called the
prefix. By default this is 64 bits long. All hosts in the network have common initial bits for their
IPv6 address; the number of common initial bits in the network’s addresses is set by the prefix
length field.

If you change the IP address and click Save Settings, the GUI will not respond. Open a new connection
to the new IP address and log in again. Be sure the LAN host (the machine used to manage the router)
has obtained IP address from newly assigned pool (or has a static IP address in the router’s LAN
subnet) before accessing the router via changed IP address.
