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

DI-1162/DI-1162M Remote Access Router

♦Change the State to Enable.

♦Please refer to the “Configuration and Management” chapter of this manual for more detailed information regarding the items in this screen.

♦Position the cursor on the Save option at the bottom of the screen and press <Enter> to save the new setting.

♦Choose Exit in the submenus to return to the Main Menu.

7.Define a WAN port for a leased line connection.

♦There are only three steps that need to be done to configure a WAN port for using a leased line and they have already been done. They are numbers 1, 2 and 3; enabling the WAN port in the Interface Configuration submenu, configuring the Protocol setting to a synchronous mode, and assigning an IP Address to the WAN port in the Network Configuration submenu. Remember to save any submenu screens in which you have made changes.

Choose LOGOFF from the Main Menu.

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/DI-1162M 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 10/100M auto-negotiation 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 10/100 Fast Ethernet 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/DI-1162M 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.

Make sure both the WAN device(s) and the router are turned OFF when making these connections.

Step 6 – Plugging in All Devices

Plug the 100 ~ 240V AC/DC power cord into the power jack on the router’s rear panel and into a power strip or grounded wall outlet.

At this point in the installation, you may plug in and power on all other devices. Do not power on the router yet.
