Section 1 - Introduction
D-Link Services Routers offer a secure, high performance networking solution to address the growing needs
of small and medium businesses. Integrated high -speed IEEE 802.11n and 3G wireless technologies offer
comparable performance to traditional wired networks, but with fewer limitations. Optimal network security is
provided via features such as virtual private network (VPN) tunnels, IP Security ( IPsec), Point-to-Point Tunneling
Protocol (PPTP), Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP), and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Empower your road warriors
with clientless remote access anywhere and anytime using SSL VPN tunnels.
With the D-Link Services Router you are able to experience a diverse set of benefits:
• Comprehensive Management Capabilities
The DSR-500, DSR-500N, DSR-1000 and DSR-1000N include dual-WAN Gigabit Ethernet which
provides policy-based service management ensuring maximum productivity for your business
operations. The failover feature maintains data traffic without disconnecting when a landline
connection is lost. The Outbound Load Balancing feature adjusts outgoing traffic across two
WAN interfaces and optimizes the system performance resulting in high availability. The
solution supports configuring a port as a dedicated DMZ port allowing you to isolate servers
from your LAN.
Note: The DSR-150/150N/250/250N products have a single WAN interface, and thus do not support
Auto Failover or Load Balancing scenarios.
• Superior Wireless Performance
Designed to deliver superior wireless performance, the DSR-500N and DSR-1000N include
802.11 a/b/g/n support, allowing for operation on either the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radio bands.
Multiple In Multiple Out (MIMO) technology allows the DSR-500N and DSR-1000N to provide
high data rates with minimal "dead spots" throughout the wireless coverage area.
Note: The DSR-150N, DSR-250N, and DSR-500N support the 2.4GHz radio band only.
• Flexible Deployment Options
The DSR-1000/1000N supports Third Generation (3G) Networks via an extendable USB 3G
dongle. This 3G network capability offers an additional secure data connection for networks
that provide critical services. The DSR-1000N can be configured to automatically switch to a 3G
network whenever a physical link is lost.
• Robust VPN features
A fully featured virtual private network (VPN) provides your mobile workers and branch
offices with a secure link to your network. The DSR-150/150N/250/250N, DSR-500/500N and
DSR-1000/1000N are capable of simultaneously managing 5, 5, 10, 20 Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) VPN tunnels respectively, empowering your mobile users by providing remote access to
a central corporate database. Site-to-site VPN tunnels use IP Security (IPsec) Protocol, Point-
to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), or Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) to facilitate branch
office connectivity through encrypted virtual links. The DSR-150/150N, DSR-250/250N, DSR-
500/500N, and DSR-1000/1000N support 10, 25, 35 and 75 simultaneous IPsec VPN tunnels
respectively.
