Over Ethernet
The Ethernet port can be connected to an end
device. Use a standard Category 5/5e/6 RJ-45
Ethernet cable to connect the end device to the
DWM-312
router. The port will auto-negotiate to the
highest possible port speed based on the
connected device. Note that the DWM-312
supports a maximum transfer speed of 100
Mbps over Ethernet.
Management Options
Before You Begin
The D-Link router can be managed by
using the Web User Interface (Web UI), or
Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) management interfaces. If you
wish to manage a single D-Link router,
the Web UI may be the best option.
Each router must be assigned its own IP
address, which is used for communication
with the management PC. Please refer to
the following installation instructions to
get started with the Web UI and SNMP
management interfaces.
Web User Interface
Once the router has been successfully
installed, you can begin configuration,
monitor the LED panel, and display
graphical statistics using a web browser.
Supported browsers include: Microsoft
Internet Explorer , Firefox, Chrome, and
Safari.
You need the following equipment to
access the Web UI of your device:
• A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet port
• A standard Ethernet cable
