Event Log Viewer in GUI
Status > Logs > View All Logs
The router GUI lets you observe configured log messages from the Status menu.
Whenever traffic through or to the router matches the settings determined in the
Tools > Log Settings > Logs Facility
or
Tools > Log Settings > Logs
Configuration
pages, the corresponding log message will be displayed in this
window with a timestamp.
It is very important to have accurate system time (manually set or from a NTP
server) in order to understand log messages.
Status > Logs > VPN Logs
This page displays IPsec VPN log messages as determined by the configuration
settings for facility and severity. This data is useful when evaluating IPsec VPN
traffic and tunnel health.

Backing up and Restoring Configuration
Settings
Tools > System
You can back up
the router’s
custom configuration settings to restore them to a
different device or the same router after some other changes. During backup, your
settings are saved as a file on your host. You can restore the router's saved settings
from this file as well. This page will also allow you revert to factory default settings
or execute a soft reboot of the router.
IMPORTANT!
During a restore operation, do NOT try to go online, turn off the
router, shut down the PC, or do anything else to the router until the operation is
complete. This will take approximately 1 minute. Once the LEDs are turned off,
wait a few more seconds before doing anything with the router.
For backing up configuration or restoring a previously saved configuration, please
follow the steps below:
1.
To save a copy of your current settings, click the Backup button in the Save Current
Settings option. The browser initiates an export of the configuration file and prompts to
save the file on your host.

2.
To restore your saved settings from a backup file, click Browse then locate the file on the
host.
After clicking Restore, the router begins importing the file’s saved configuration
settings. After the restore, the router reboots automatically with the restored settings.
3.
To erase your current settings and revert to factory default settings, click the Default
button. The router will then restore configuration settings to factory defaults and will
reboot automatically. (See Appendix B for the factory default parameters for the router).

Upgrading Router Firmware
Tools > Firmware
You can upgrade to a newer software version from the Administration web page. In
the Firmware Upgrade section, to upgrade your firmware, click Browse, locate and
select the firmware image on your host, and click Upgrade. After the new firmware
image is validated, the new image is written to flash, and the router is automatically
rebooted with the new firmware. The Firmware Information and also the
Status >
Device Info > Device Status
page will reflect the new firmware version.
IMPORTANT!
During firmware upgrade, do NOT try to go online, turn off the
DSR, shut down the PC, or interrupt the proce ss in anyway until the operation is
complete. This should take only a minute or so including the reboot process.
Interrupting the upgrade process at specific points when the flash is being written
to may corrupt the flash memory and render the router unusable without a low-level
process of restoring the flash firmware (not through the web GUI).

Figure 120: Firmware ve rsion informatio n and upgrade option
This router also supports an automated notification to determine if a newer f irmware
version is available for this router. By clicking the Check Now button in the
notification section, the router will check a D-Link server to see if a newer firmware
version for this router is available for download and update the Status field below .
IMPORTANT!
After firmware 1.04B13, new user database architecture is
introduced. The new user database is easier to setup and more intuitively to use.
When users upgrade DSR’s firmware to 1.04B13 or latter, DSR will automatically
merge users in the old database into the new one. However, all user databases will
be swept away when users downgrade firmware from 1.04B13 to the older one, e.g.
1.03B43. Please keep in mind: backup your user database for further restoring once
you decide to downgrade firmware to the older one.

9.8 Dynamic DNS Setup
Tools > Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is an Internet service that allows routers with varying public
IP addresses to be located using Internet domain names. To use DDNS, you must
setup an account with a DDNS prov ider such as DynDNS.org, D-Link DDNS, or
Oray.net.
Each configured WAN can have a different DDNS service if required. Once
configured, the router will update DDNS services changes in the WAN IP address so
that features that are dependent on accessing the
router’s WAN via FQDN will be
directed to the correct IP address. When you set up an account with a DDNS service,
the host and domain name, username, password and wildcard support will be provided
by the account provider.
