DSR-150 front panel: device status LEDs

The LEDs reflect device current status. The power LED (A) will keep blinking during device startup period. The whole startup process will take around 1 minute and device may not respond to users' requests during this time. After startup completion, the power LED (A) will turn to solid green. If you want to restart the device for some instances, we recommend you waiting a couple of few seconds between shutting down and turning on the device. The meaning and status of each LED indicator are shown in the below table:

Installing and Connecting the Device

This chapter describes how to connect cables and power to the device.

Before You Begin

Observe the following precautions to help prevent shutdowns, equipment failures and injuries:

• Before installation, always check that the power supply is disconnected.
• Ensure that the room in which you operate the device has adequate air circulation and that the room temperature does NOT exceed 40˚C (104˚F).
• Allow 1 meter (3 feet) of clear space to the front and back of the device.
• Do NOT place the device in an equipment rack frame that blocks the air vents on the sides of the chassis. Ensure that enclosed racks have fans and louvered sides.
• Before installation, please correct these hazardous conditions: moist or wet floors, leaks, ungrounded or frayed power cables, or missing safety grounds.

Connecting Power and Turn the Device On/Off

To connect power to the device, please plug the AC/DC power adapter (shipping along with the box) into the DC power jack on the side of the device.

Note: We recommend using a surge protector for the power connection.

To power on the DSR-150 device, please push down the power button on the side of the device. To power off the device, please push down the power button again, and the power button will recover the non-pressed position.

Connecting the Device to a Network

This section provides basic knowledge of how to connect DSR-150 to network.
Necessary connecting cables and steps are shown below.

1. Connect an RJ-45 cable from the port labeled WAN to the external router. The port WAN is pre-allocated to the WAN network segment.
2. Connect an RJ-45 cable from the port labeled LAN (1-8) to a switch in the LAN network segment.
3. Connect an RJ45-to-DB9 cable from the console port for CLI (Command Line Interface) management access.

Initially Configure the Device

DSR-150 preinstall services router software and is ready to be further configured after startup completion. Although the device has preconfigured with factory default settings allowing you to initialize connections to the device, we still highly recommend you to customized configurations for your specific network requirements.

Using the Web User Interface

To use the Web User Interface (WebUI) to manage DSR-150, the workstation from which you manage the device must be in the same subnet as the device.

Table 5: Browser Compatibility

Browser		Version
	Microsoft Internet Explorer	6.0 and Later
	Mozilla Firefox	3.5 and Later
	Netscape Navigator	9.0 and Later
	Apple Safari	4.0 and Later
	Google Chrome	3.0 and Later

To access the device with the WebUI:

1. Connect your workstation on the port labeled LAN (1-8), which is pre-allocated to the LAN.
2. Ensure your workstation is DHCP Client enabled or configured with a static IP address in the 192.168.10.0/24 subnet.
   
   Note: Disable pop-up blocking software or add the management IP address http://192.168.10.1 to your pop-up blocker's allow list.
3. Launch your browser; enter the IP address for the LAN interface. (The factory default IP address is http://192.168.10.1), then press Enter.

Using a Console Connection (RJ45-to-DB9 DCE)

The Services Router provides an serial port that enables a connection to a computer or terminal for monitoring and configuring the device. This port is a RJ-45 connector, implemented as a data communication terminal equipment (DCE) connection.

To use the console port connection, you need the following equipment:

1. A terminal or a computer with both a serial port and the ability to emulate a terminal.
2. A RJ45-to-DB9 RS-232 with female connector. (Already included in packing list)
3. If your Laptop or PC doesn't have RS-232 connector, a converter is required.

Note: DSR-150 does not come with RS-232 converter and these must be purchased separately.

To establish a console connection:

1. Plug the RJ-45 connector of the supplied RJ45-to-DB9 cable directly to the console port on the Services Router.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a terminal or to the serial connector of a computer running terminal emulation software. Set the terminal emulation software as following:
   • Baud rate: 115200
   • Data bits: 8
   • Parity: None
   • Stop bits: 1
   • Flow control: None
3. If you correctly set up the terminal, following previous instructions in section of "Connecting Power and Turn the Device On/Off" and turn on the device, the boot sequence should appear in the terminal.
4. Once the boot sequence completes, the command prompt is displayed, the device is ready to be configured.
