2.GettingStarted

While getting started with DLM-3500, you may encounter with complicated settings which may hinder your

progress. This chapter serves to explain the basic functionalities of DLM-3500 and how to operate and

configure the system.It will also cover related subjects in network structures and hardware installation which

will help you during your setup of DLM-3500.

2.1 Preparation

Before you get started, there are few things you need to know:

1. The position of the DLM-3500 LAN Port: It has five network interfaces and the last port is LAN Port which

is marked on the machine.

2. The default IP address for LAN interface is 192.168.0.1

3. Your IP addresses for computers in the LAN should be changed to 192.168.0.2 (or 192.168.0.x) and

subnet mask 255.255.255.0 in order to avoid conflicts with the default LAN port.

4. Check your network environment carefully before installing DLM-3500. A well-designed network

environment with the necessary information such as your network structure, IP addresses, and network

segments information will help you complete the setup of DLM-3500 parameters.

5. DLM-3500 uses a web-based management user interface (Web-based UI). Due to internal design

constraints, you have to use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 (IE 6.0), or higher to access the Web-based

UI. A screen resolution of 800x600 or higher is recommended.

2.2 Access to the Web-based UI

The Web-based UI enables you to easily perform every configuration task. Follow the steps below to access

the Web-based UI.

1. Connect your PC Ethernet LAN interface to LAN port of DLM-3500 with a cross-over cable, which is in

standard packing. The default management LAN port of DLM-3500 is LAN port.

2. After powering on DLM-3500, the LED of LAN port will turn on. This indicates that it is on-line.

3. Check that the proxy setting of your IE browser is turned off, no proxy server is required in order to

access DLM-3500’s Web-based UI. Open IE, select Internet Option on the menu bar of Tools, click the

Connection tab, and then click LAN settings to open Local Area Network Settings dialog box, under

Proxy server, make sure proxy server is not selected.

5. In the URL filed of IE, type in http://192.168.0.1 to access the Web-based UI.

6. DLM-3500 provides two types of user accounts:

admin – Has privileges to monitor and modify system parameters.

monitor – Has privileges to monitor only.

DLM-3500 allows up to 1 administrator and 1 monitor to access concurrently.

Default password for admin and monitor are “admin” and “monitor”, respectively. We strongly recommend

you to modify the passwords at the first time you log into the web-based UI.

DLM-3500 Quick Installation Guide 6

2.3 DLM-3500 Web-based UI Overview

After logged in, you will be able to start configuring or monitoring DLM-3500 through the Web-based UI.

In order to help you to familiar with the basic operations, the explanations are as follows:

The Web-based UI tasks are grouped into four categories. The categories are located at the upper left-hand

corner of Web-based UI task bar. The four categories are:

System

Network

Service

Log

On the first stage,you can login as Administrator in the Web-based UI and modify the Administrator or

Monitor password by performing the following:(1)Click System and select Administration on task bar,(2)

enter your new admin password or monitor password, after the system confirmation, using the new

password next time you log in.

Password Recovery

If you forget your administrator password, use a Terminal (VT-100 compatible) to establish the connection

between PC RS-232 series port and DLM-3500 Console interface, execute system reset to default.

Before you log into serial console, please complete following setting: Bits per second: 9600, Data bits: 8,

Parity: None, Stop bits: 8, Flow control: None. The serial console and Web-based UI use the same

username and password pairs. By default, the password of “admin” is “admin”, and the password of

“monitor” is “monitor”. If the password is changed via the Web-based UI, it will also be changed in the serial

console. In case you lose your password, you can use the username “reset” and password

“DLM-3500_dlink” to log into serial console and reset the system to default.

Open the IE browser to access the Web-based UI

Please Note: Please remember the changed password; otherwise it is not possible to access the DLM-3500

management interface.

2.4.2 Network Scenario

In this section, we will walk you through a simple example to configure DLM-3500 step by step. The network

architecture in this example is illustrated as below. DLM-3500 is running outbound load-balancing on WAN 1

and WAN 2 interface with two last mile connection from ISP 1 and ISP 2. WAN 1 uses static IP address

assigned by ISP 1 and ISP 2 will use automatically IP address assigned by ISP 2.

2.4.3 Configuring Your WAN Interface

Click on the [Network] -> [WAN Setting] in menu, you will see the page for WAN setting. Before configuring

your WAN setting, make sure you know the gateway, public IPs from your ISP. Information like this should

have been given to you when first applied for a WAN connection with your ISP. They are essential to make

your WAN connection work properly.

DLM-3500 Quick Installation Guide 9

After you see the [WAN Setting] page, the procedure for configuring WAN settings is listed below:

1. Select the number of WAN links you want to configure. If you have multiple links, you can only edit one

WAN link at a time.

2. In the [Basic Setting] table, tick the checkbox next to “Enable” to activate the WAN link.

3. Select your WAN mode in the second field. Several options are available in this dropdown list. The WAN

type depends on how your ISP allocates the WAN link to you.In this example, we assume you are given a

single public IP from your ISP, so you need to configure your WAN mode as “Standard”.

4. In the thrid and fourth field, fill in your upstream and downstream bandwidth limits of your WAN link.

5. In the fifth field, you can set it manually or system can get it automatically.

5. In this example, we assumes you have a healthy WAN and stop monitoring ICMP and TCP packets, so we

configure it as “Never”. (For further information about “WAN Link Health Detection”, please refer to

the User’s Manual)

6. Fill in your IP Address to WAN1 of DLM-3500 in the ninth field. In this example, it is 211.30.10.11

7. Fill in the gateway’s IP address in the tenth field. In this example, it is 211.30.10.9.

8. Fill in the subnet mask in the eleventh field. In this example, it is 255.255.255.0.

DLM-3500 Quick Installation Guide 10

10. Select “WAN 2” in the first field [WAN No.] and tick the checkbox next to “Enable” to activate the WAN

link.

11. Select your WAN mode in the second field. In this example, we assume you are given a IP from a DHCP

server, so you need to configure your WAN mode as “DHCP”.

12. Fill in your upstream and downstream bandwidth limits of WAN link 2.

13. Config [Speed/Duplex] as “Auto” and [Wan Link Health Detection] as “Never”. (we assumes you

have a healthy WAN and stop monitoring ICMP and TCP packets)
