D-Link DI-1162 manual Dial-In User Profile

DI-1162 Remote Access Router

will search for a Remote Network Profile that further configures this WAN port for dialing-out.

Set Peer IP as Default Gateway – when enabled, this feature sets the IP address of the remote device as the default gateway (default next hop router) for all packets not found in the routing table. This option should be enabled for the WAN circuit (WAN1 or WAN2) that is used to connect to the Internet. Also, if the default gateway is defined here, you don’t need to define one in the Network Configuration, IP Static Route submenu (but you still need to define a static default route). And also make sure that the Remote IP Address in the Remote Networks Profile is set to 0.0.0.0. Note that only one WAN circuit should be connected to the Internet, and only one WAN circuit (the same one) should be the default gateway.

Dial-In User Profile

The Dial-In User Profile is used to configure the DI-1162 for single users (for example a person working at home) to dial in to the router and gain access to the network. At least one User Profile must be configured for each user who will dial in (in conjunction with Dial Configuration settings). Please note that WAN connections to computers on other networks must be defined in the Remote Network Profile submenu.

Up to eight users can be set up to dial in to the router. However, more dial-in users can be accommodated by using a Radius server as described in the Radius Configuration section of this manual.

The Dial-In User Profile submenu appears below:
