Chapter 1. Introduction
D-Link Unified 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 Unified Services Router you are able to experience a diverse set of
benefits:
Comprehensive Management Capabilities
The DSR-500N 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.
Superior Wireless Performance
Designed to deliver superior wireless performance, the DSR-500N and DSR-
1000N include 802.11 a/b/g/n, 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.
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-500, DSR-
500N, DSR-1000 and DSR-1000N are capable of simultaneously managing 10
or 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-500 / 500N
supports up to 35 simultaneous VPN tunnels, and the DSR-1000 / 100N up to
70 VPN tunnels.
Efficient D-Link Green Technology

Unified Services Router User Manual
10
As a concerned member of the global community, D-Link is devoted to
providing eco-friendly products. D-Link Green WiFi and D-Link Green
Ethernet save power and prevent waste. The D-Link Green WLAN scheduler
reduces wireless power automatically during off-peak hours. Likewise the D-
Link Green Ethernet program adjusts power usage based on the detected cable
length and link status. In addition, compliance with RoHS (Restriction of
Hazardous Substances) and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment)
directives make D-Link Green certified devices the environmentally responsible
choice.
Support for the 3G wireless WAN USB dongle is only available for DSR-1000 and
DSR-1000N.
1.1 About this User Manual
This document is a high level manual to allow new D-Link Unified Services Router
users to configure connectivity, setup VPN tunnels, establish firewall rules and
perform general administrative tasks. Typical deployment and use case scenarios are
described in each section. For more detailed setup instructions and explanations of
each configuration parameter, refer to the online help that can be accessed from each
page in the router GUI.

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).
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.
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.
3. Click Save Settings to apply all changes.

2.1.1 LAN Configuration in an IPv6 Network
Advanced > IPv6 > IPv6 LAN > IPv6 LAN Config
In IPv6 mode, the LAN DHCP server is enabled 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.
LAN Settings
The default IPv6 LAN address for the router is fec0::1. You can change this 128 bit
IPv6 address based on your network requirements. The other field that defines the
LAN settings for the router is 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.

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.
As with an IPv4 LAN network, the router has a DHCPv6 server. If enabled, the
router assigns an IP address within the specified range plus additional specified
information to any LAN PC that requests DHCP served addresses.
The following settings are used to configure the DHCPv6 server:

Unified Services Router User Manual

DHCP Mode: The IPv6 DHCP server is either stateless or stateful. If stateless is
selected an external IPv6 DHCP server is not required as the IPv6 LAN hosts
are auto-configured by this router. In this case the router advertisement daemon
(RADVD) must be configured on this device and ICMPv6 router discovery
messages are used by the host for auto-configuration. There are no managed
addresses to serve the LAN nodes. If stateful is selected the IPv6 LAN host will
rely on an external DHCPv6 server to provide required configuration settings
The domain name of the DHCPv6 server is an optional setting
Server Preference is used to indicate the preference level of this DHCP server.
DHCP advertise messages with the highest server preference value to a LAN
host are preferred over other DHCP server advertise messages. The default is
255.
The DNS server details can be manually entered here (primary/secondary
options. An alternative is to allow the LAN DHCP client to receive the DNS
server details from the ISP directly. By selecting Use DNS proxy, this router
acts as a proxy for all DNS requests and communicates with the ISP‘s DNS
servers (a WAN configuration parameter).
Primary and Secondary DNS servers: If there are configured domain name
system (DNS) servers available on the LAN enter the IP addresses here.
Lease/Rebind time sets the duration of the DHCPv6 lease from this router to the
LAN client.
IPv6 Address Pools
This feature allows you to define the IPv6 delegation prefix for a range of IP
addresses to be served by the gateway‘s DHCPv6 server. Using a delegation prefix
you can automate the process of informing other networking equipment on the LAN
of DHCP information specific for the assigned prefix.
2.1.2 Configuring IPv6 Router Advertisements
Router Advertisements are analogous to IPv4 DHCP assignments for LAN clients, in
that the router will assign an IP address and supporting network information to
devices that are configured to accept such details. Router Advertisement is required
in an IPv6 network is required for stateless auto configuration of the IPv6 LAN. By
configuring the Router Advertisement Daemon on this router, the DSR will listen on
the LAN for router solicitations and respond to these LAN hosts with router
advisements.

RADVD
Advanced > IPv6 > IPv6 LAN > Router Advertisement
To support stateless IPv6 auto configuration on the LAN, set the RADVD status to
Enable. The following settings are used to configure RADVD:
Advertise Mode: Select Unsolicited Multicast to send router advertisements
(RA‘s) to all interfaces in the multicast group. To restrict RA‘s to well
known IPv6 addresses on the LAN, and thereby reduce overall network
traffic, select Unicast only.
Advertise Interval: When advertisements are unsolicited multicast packets,
this interval sets the maximum time between advertisements from the
interface. The actual duration between advertisements is a random value
between one third of this field and this field. The default is 30 seconds.
RA Flags: The router advertisements (RA‘s) can be sent with one or both of
these flags. Chose Managed to use the administered /stateful protocol for
address auto configuration. If the Other flag is selected the host uses
administered/stateful protocol for non-address auto configuration.
Router Preference: this low/medium/high parameter determines the
preference associated with the RADVD process of the router. This is useful
if there are other RADVD enabled devices on the LAN as it helps avoid
conflicts for IPv6 clients.
MTU: The router advertisement will set this maximum transmission unit
(MTU) value for all nodes in the LAN that are autoconfigured by the router.
The default is 1500.
Router Lifetime: This value is present in RA‘s and indicates the usefulness
of this router as a default router for the interface. The default is 3600
seconds. Upon expiration of this value, a new RADVD exchange must take
place between the host and this router.

Advertisement Prefixes
Advanced > IPv6 > IPv6 LAN > Advertisement Prefixes
The router advertisements configured with advertisement prefixes allow this router
to inform hosts how to perform stateless address auto configuration. Router
advertisements contain a list of subnet prefixes that allow the router to determine
neighbors and whether the host is on the same link as the router.
The following prefix options are available for the router advertisements:
IPv6 Prefix Type: To ensure hosts support IPv6 to IPv4 tunnel select the
6to4 prefix type. Selecting Global/Local/ISATAP will allow the nodes to
support all other IPv6 routing options
SLA ID: The SLA ID (Site-Level Aggregation Identifier) is available when
6to4 Prefixes are selected. This should be the interface ID of the router‘s
LAN interface used for router advertisements.
IPv6 Prefix: When using Global/Local/ISATAP prefixes, this field is used to
define the IPv6 network advertised by this router.
