Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The D-Link HSUPA 3G Router allows users to access worldwide mobile broadband networks. Once connected,
users can transfer data, stream media, send SMS messages, and make mobile phone calls. Simply insert your
UMTS/HSUPA SIM card, and share your 3G Internet connection through a secure 802.11n wireless network or
using any of the four 10/100 Ethernet ports.
While accessing your 3G Internet connection, you will still have the ability to answer incoming mobile calls and
respond to SMS messages. An RJ-11 jack allows you to attach a standard analog phone for high-quality mobile
calls over a GSM network. Enjoy the comfort and convenience of your favorite ofce phone anywhere you go.
Keep your wireless network safe with WPA/WPA2 wireless encryption. The DWR-512 utilizes dual-active rewalls
(SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks across the Internet, and includes MAC address ltering to control access
to your network.
The HSUPA 3G Router can be installed quickly and easily almost anywhere. This router is great for situations
where an impromptu wireless network must be set up, or wherever conventional network access is unavailable. The
DWR-512 can even be installed in buses, trains, or boats, allowing passengers to check e-mail or chat online while
commuting.

Connect to Your Network
Installation
This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed
area such as a closet, cabinet, or in an attic or garage.
1. Ensure that your DWR-512 HSUPA 3G Router is disconnected and powered off.
2. Insert a standard (U)SIM card into the SIM card slot on the back of the router as indicated by the SIM card logo next to the slot. The
gold contacts should face downwards.
Caution:Always unplug/power down the router before installing or removing the SIM card. Never insert or remove the SIM card while
the router is in use.
3. Insert your Internet/WAN network cable into the WAN port on the back of the router.
Note: The 3G connection can also be used as a backup WAN. Once a backup is congured, the router will automatically use 3G for the
Internet connection if the Ethernet WAN is not available.
4. Insert the Ethernet cable into the LAN Port 1 on the back panel of the DWR-512 HSUPA 3G Router and an available Ethernet port on
the network adapter in the computer you will use to congure the router.
Note:The DWR-512 HSUPA 3G Router LAN Ports are Auto-MDI/MDIX, so both patch and crossover Ethernet cables can be used.
5. Connect the power adapter to the socket on the back panel of your DWR-512 HSUPA 3G Router. Plug the other end of the power
adapter into a wall outlet or power strip and turn the device on.
a. The Status LED will light up to indicate that power has been supplied to the router.
b. The LEDs on the front panel will ash on and off as the DWR-512 HSUPA 3G Router performs initialization and Internet connection
processes.
c. After a few moments, if a connection has been established, the following LEDs will turn solid green: Power, Status, WAN, WLAN,
and any LAN Port LEDs that are connected computers or other devices.

Section 2 - Installation
Connect a Telephone
The RJ-11 jack on the back of the router allows you to connect a standard analog
telephone for voice calls.
Simply plug the phone cable into the RJ-11 jack.
You can then use your handset to dial out as you typically would with a standard landline
phone.
Your attached phone will also ring for any incoming voice calls.
Note: Calls made will be charged at a rate determined by your mobile service provider.

Section 2 - Installation
Wireless Installation Considerations
The DWR-512 can be accessed using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network.
Keep in mind that the quantity, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through may
limit the range of the wireless signal. Ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your
home or ofce. The key to maximizing the wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your
adapter’s range from 3 to 90 feet (1 to 30 meters).
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be
almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick. Position devices so that the signal will travel
straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through open doorways and drywall. Materials
such as glass, metal, brick, insulation, concrete, and water can affect wireless performance. Large objects such as sh tanks, mirrors,
le cabinets, metal doors, and aluminum studs may also have a negative effect on range.
4. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones, make sure that the 2.4 GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless device as possible.
The base transmits a signal even if the phone is not in use. In some cases, cordless phones, X-10 wireless devices, and electronic
equipment such as ceiling fans, uorescent lights, and home security systems may dramatically degrade wireless connectivity.

Select this checkbox to enable wireless access. When
you set this option, the following parameters take effect.
Also known as the SSID (Service Set Identier), this
is the name of your Wireless Local Area Network
(WLAN). Enter a name using up to 32 alphanumeric
characters. The SSID is case-sensitive.
B/G mixed: Enable this mode if your network
contains a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g devices.
N only: Enable this mode if your network
only has 802.11n devices.
B/G/N mixed: Enable this mode if you have a mix
of 802.11n, 802.11g, and 802.11b clients.
Enabling this feature will allow the router to scan
for the best channel to use automatically.
A wireless network uses specic channels in the wireless
spectrum to handle communication between clients.
Some channels in your area may experience interference
from other electronic devices. Choose the clearest
channel to help optimize the performance and coverage
of your wireless network, or enable Auto Channel Scan
for the router to automatically select the best channel.
This setting determines whether the SSID will be Visible
or Invisible to wireless clients looking for wireless
networks. Setting this to Invisible can increase the
security of your network by hiding it, but clients will need
to manually enter the SSID of your network to connect.
