D-Link DI-1162 manual Connecting the Router to a LAN, Connecting the Router to WAN Devices

DI-1162 Remote Access Router

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 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 NWay 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 NWay 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 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.
