D-Link DFL-1500 User manual

Before You Begin

It’s best to use a computer with an Ethernet adapter for configuring the DFL-1500. The

default IP address for the DFL-1500 is 192.168.1.254 (LAN1 at the port number 3)

with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. You will need to assign your computer a Static

IP address within the same range as the DFL-1500’s IP address, say 192.168.1.2 to

configure the DFL-1500. See the Appendix if you need assistance in assigning a

Static IP address for your network adapter.

System Architecture

DFL-1500 is an integrated solution that can provide enterprises the maximum security

and the best resource utilization. It contains stateful inspection Firewall, NAT, VPN,

Intrusion Detection System, Dynamic Routing, Content Filtering, Bandwidth

Management, WAN load balancer, Anti-Virus, in a single box. It also features high

performance accelerator and wire-speed VPN encryption/decryption. It is the most

cost-effective solution for enterprise.

Connecting the DFL-1500

A. First, connect the power cord to the Power Socket at the back panel

of the DFL-1500 and then plug the other end of the power adapter to

a wall outlet or power strip. Press the switch to ON position. The

Power LED will turn ON to indicate proper operation.

B. Using an Ethernet cable, insert one end of the cable to the WAN port

on the front panel of the DFL-1500 and the other end of the cable to a

DSL / Cable modem or other internet access devices.

C. Computers with an Ethernet adapter can be directly connected to any

of the LAN ports using a cross-over Ethernet cable.

D. Computers that act as servers to provide Internet services should be

connected to the DMZ port using an Ethernet Cable.

Using the Setup Wizard

A computer on your LAN1 must be assigned an IP address and subnet mask from the

same range as the IP address and subnet mask assigned to the DFL-1500 in order to

be able to make an HTTPS connection using a web browser. The DFL-1500 is

assigned an IP address of 192.168.1.254 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 by

default. The computer that will be used to configure the DFL-1500 must be assigned

an IP address between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.253 with a subnet mask of

255.255.255.0 to be able to connect to the DFL-1500. This address range can be

changed later. There are instructions in the DFL-1500 User’s Guide, if you do not

know how to set the IP address and subnet mask for your computer.

Step 1 －Login

Type “admin” in the account field,

“admin” in the Password field and

click Login.

Step 2 －Run Setup

Wizard

Click the Run Setup Wizard.

After login to DFL-1500 web configurator

BASIC SETUP > Wizard

Open your Web browse

and

type “http://192.168.1.254:8080”

or “https://192.168.1.254”into the

URL address box. Then press the

Enter or Return key.

Step 3 －System Name

Enter the Host Name and the

Domain Name, followed by clicking

the Next.

BASIC SETUP > Wizard

Step 4 －WAN

Connectivity

To setup the first WAN link, make

WAN1 as the Default WAN link

(Gateway/DNS). Choose the type

of IP Address Assignment

provided by your ISP to access the

Internet. Here we have four types to

select. This will determine how the

IP address of WAN1 is obtained.

Click Next to proceed.

BASIC SETUP > Wizard > Next

Step 4.a —DHCP client

If Get IP Automatically

(DHCP) is selected, DFL-1500 will

request for IP address, netmask,

and DNS servers from your ISP.

You can use your preferred DNS by

clicking the DNS IP Address and

then completing the Primary DNS

and Secondary DNS server IP

addresses. Click Next to proceed.

BASIC SETUP > Wizard > Next > DHCP

Step 4.b —Fixed IP

If Fixed IP Address is selected,

enter the ISP-given IP Address,

Subnet Mask, Gateway IP,

Primary DNS and Secondary

DNS IP. Click Next to proceed.

BASIC SETUP > Wizard > Next > Fixed IP

Step 4.c —PPPoE client

If PPP over Ethernet is

selected, enter the ISP-given User

Name, Password and the optional

Service Name. Click Next to

proceed.

BASIC SETUP > Wizard > Next > PPPoE

Step 5 －System Status

Here we select PPPoE method in

WAN1 port. Then the DFL-1500

provides a short summary of the

system. Please check if anything

mentioned above is properly set

into the system. Click Finish to

close the wizard.

Basic Setup

Setting up a VPN and configuring the Firewall on the DFL-1500 requires a deeper

understanding of the protocols and security features of the DFL-1500 than can be

presented here. If you need additional information about setting up a VPN or

configuring the Firewall, please consult your DFL-1500 User’s Guide or your Network

Administrator.

Please Note:

Each configuration page has buttons on the bottom labeled Apply and Reset. When

you configure any page, you must press the Apply button to make the configuration

effective. You CANNOT configure multiple pages, and then press Apply. Each page

must have the configuration information ‘applied’ before going on to the next page.

WAN Settings

The WAN Settings page allows you to modify the protocol that the DFL-1500 will use

to connect to your ISP and obtain the necessary network address information.

The usage of these pages is essentially the same as those introduced in the wizard

pages. The ISP Settings page allows you to modify the way that the DFL-1500 obtains

its network settings from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The entry fields on the

page will change depending upon which of the following options you choose: Fixed IP

Address, Get IP Automatically, and PPPoE.

1. Fixed IP Address

If your ISP has assigned you an IP address that will never change, choose this option.

When this option is chosen, the following fields appear to allow you to enter the

network address information. The example shows that the ISP assigns an IP 61.2.1.1,

a netmask 255.255.255.0, a default gateway 61.2.1.254, and DNS (168.95.1.1).

2. Get IP Automatically

If your ISP uses the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to assign an IP

address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS addresses, choose this option.

3. PPPoE

If your ISP uses Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), choose this option.

When this option is chosen, the following fields appear to allow you to enter the

network address information:

To simplify the initial settings of the DFL-1500, the Network Address Translation is

automatically configured if the NAT Basic mode is selected. Then the DFL-1500

will let all private-IP traffic from the subnets of LAN/DMZ ports to access the

Internet using the global IP address assigned by the ISP.
