D-Link DIR-100 User Manual 8 Section 1 - Product Overview Technology Introduction Introduction to Broadband Router Technology A router is a device that forwards data packets from a source to a destination. Routers forward data packets using IP addresses and not a MAC address. A router will forward data from the Internet to a particular computer on your LAN. The information that makes up the Internet gets moved around using routers. When you click on a link on a web page, you send a request to a server to show you the next page. The information that is sent and received from your computer is moved from your computer to the server using routers. A router also determines the best route that your information should follow to ensure that the information is delivered properly. A router controls the amount of data that is sent through your network by eliminating information that should not be there. This provides security for the computers connected to your router, because computers from the outside cannot access or send information directly to any computer on your network. The router determines which computer the information should be forwarded to and sends it. If the information is not intended for any computer on your network, the data is discarded. This keeps any unwanted or harmful information from accessing or damaging your network. Introduction to Firewalls A firewall is a device that sits between your computer and the Internet that prevents unauthorized access to or from your network. A firewall can be a computer using firewall software or a special piece of hardware built specifically to act as a firewall. In most circumstances, a firewall is used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks or corporate LAN's and Intranets. A firewall watches all of the information moving to and from your network and analyzes each piece of data. Each piece of data is checked against a set of criteria that the administrator configures. If any data does not meet the criteria, that data is blocked and discarded. If the data meets the criteria, the data is passed through. This method is called packet filtering. A firewall can also run specific security functions based on the type of application or type of port that is being used. For example, a firewall can be configured to work with an FTP or Telnet server. Or a firewall can be configured to work with specific UDP or TCP ports to allow certain applications or games to work properly over the Internet. D-Link DIR-100 User Manual 9 Section 1 - Product Overview Introduction to Local Area Networking Local Area Networking (LAN) is the term used when connecting several computers together over a small area such as a building or group of buildings. LAN's can be connected over large areas. A collection of LAN's connected over a large area is called a Wide Area Network (WAN). A LAN consists of multiple computers connected to each other. There are many types of media that can connect computers together. The most common media is CAT5 cable (UTP or STP twisted pair wire.) On the other hand, wireless networks do not use wires; instead they communicate over radio waves. Each computer must have a Network Interface Card (NIC), which communicates the data between computers. A NIC is usually a 10Mbps network card, or 10/100Mbps network card, or a wireless network card. Most networks use hardware devices such as hubs or switches that each cable can be connected to in order to continue the connection between computers. A hub simply takes any data arriving through each port and forwards the data to all other ports. A switch is more sophisticated, in that a switch can determine the destination port for a specific piece of data. A switch minimizes network traffic overhead and speeds up the communication over a network. Networks take some time in order to plan and implement correctly. There are many ways to configure your network. You may want to take some time to determine the best network set-up for your needs. Reset To reset the system settings to factory defaults, please follow these steps: 1. Leave the device powered on, do not disconnect the power . Press the reset button and hold (use a paper-clip) 3. Keep the button pressed about 10 seconds 4. Release the button The DIR-100 will then automatically reboot itself. D-Link DIR-100 User Manual 10 Section - Installation Installation Getting Started Installation Location The DIR-100 functions as an Ethernet LAN for your home or office use. The Router can be placed on a shelf or desktop and ideally you should be able to see the LED indicators on the front if you need to view them for troubleshooting. No special wiring or cooling requirements are needed but when you are ready to place the Router, you must take into account the following guidelines: · Place the DIR-100 on a flat horizontal plane. · Keep away from any heating devices. · Do not place in a dusty or wet environment. The recommended operational specifications of the DIR-100 are: Temperature 3o F ~ 131o F Humidity 5 % ~ 90 % In addition, remember to turn off the power, remove the power cord from the outlet, and keep your hands dry when you install the hardware. Network Settings To use the DIR-100 correctly, you have to properly configure the network settings of your computers. The default IP address of the DIR-100 is 192.168.0.1, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These addresses can be changed as needed, but the default values are used in this manual. If the TCP/IP environment of your computer has not yet been configured, you can refer to Configuring Your PCs to Connect to the DIR-100 to configure it. For example: 1. Configure your computer IP as 19.168.0.3, subnet mask as 55.55.55.0 and gateway as 19.168.0.1 Or more conveniently . Configure your computers to obtain TCP/IP settings automatically from the DHCP server feature of the DIR-100 Since the IP address of the DIR-100 is 19.168.0.1, the IP address of your computer must be 19.168.0.X (where "X" is a number between and 54.) Each computer on your network must have a different IP address within that range. The default gateway must be 19.168.0.1 D-Link DIR-100 User Manual 11 Section 3 - Configuration (the IP address of the DIR-100).

Address: Your local area network settings are based on the address assigned here. For example, 19.168.0.1. Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of your router on the local area network. Local Domain This entry is optional. Enter a domain name for the Name: local network. The DHCP server will give this domain name to the computers on the LAN. So, for example, if you enter mynetwork.net here, and you have a PC with a name of chris, that PC will be known as chris. mynetwork.net. Note, however, if the router's WAN settings specify Dynamic IP Address, and the ISP's DHCP server assigns a domain name to the router, that domain name will override any name you enter here. DNS Relay: When DNS Relay is enabled, the router plays the role of a DNS server. DNS requests sent to the router are forwarded to the ISP's DNS server. This provides a constant DNS address that LAN computers can use, even when the router obtains a different DNS server address from the ISP upon re-establishing the WAN connection. You should disable DNS relay if you implement a LAN-side DNS server as a virtual server. D-Link DIR-100 User Manual 6 Section 3 - Configuration LAN Setup DHCP Server Settings DHCP Server: Once the router is properly configured and this DHCP Server option is enabled, the DHCP Server will manage the IP addresses and other network configuration information for computers and other devices connected to the Local Area Network. There is no need for you to do this yourself. The computers (and other devices) connected to your LAN also need to have their TCP/IP configuration set to "DHCP" or "Obtain an IP address automatically". These two IP values (from and to) define a range DHCP IP Address of IP addresses that the DHCP Server uses when Range: assigning addresses to computers and devices on your Local Area Network. Any addresses that are outside of this range are not managed by the DHCP Server; these could, therefore, be used for manually configured devices or devices that cannot use DHCP to obtain network address details automatically. The amount of time that a computer may have an IP address before it is required to renew the lease. The lease functions just as a lease on an apartment Lease Time: would. The initial lease designates the amount of time before the lease expires. If the tenant wishes to retain the address when the lease is expired then a new lease is established. If the lease expires and the address is no longer needed then another tenant may use the address.

Read the following descriptions if you are having problems. (The examples below are illustrated in Windows® XP. If you have a different operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.) 1. Why can't I access the web-based configuration utility? When entering the IP address of the D-Link router (19.168.0.1 for example), you are not connecting to a website on the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility. · Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following: · Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher · Firefox 1.5 or higher · Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If you do not get a solid link light, try using a different cable or connect to a different port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned off, the link light may not be on. · Disable any internet security software running on the computer. Software firewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Sygate, Norton Personal Firewall, and Windows® XP firewall may block access to the configuration pages. Check the help files included with your firewall software for more information on disabling or configuring it. Troubleshooting D-Link DIR-100 User Manual 50
