Hardware Installation

Before You BeginObserve the following precautions to help prevent shutdowns, equipment failures, and personal injury:

Install the DWM-315 in a cool and dry place.
Install the DWM-315 in a site free from strong electromagnetic sources, vibration, dust, excessive moisture, and direct sunlight.
Place antennas in an unobstructed area with a clear mobile signal. Avoid metal boxes, brick walls, and other dense materials.
Visually inspect the power connector and make sure that it is fully secure.
Do not stack any devices on top of the DWM-315.

Installing SIM Card(s)The DWM-315 is equipped with dual-SIM slots.At least one active SIM card with Internet access is required for proper operation.

Unscrew the two screws on the security plate to remove it and get access to the SIM card slots.
Insert a micro-SIM card into the slot labeled SIM A with the contacts facing down. If you wish to install a second SIM card, insert it into the slot labeled SIM B.Figure 4: Installing a micro-SIM Card
Gently press the micro-SIM into the slot until it locks into place. To remove it, press again and the SIM card will be ejected.
Screw the security plate back on using the two screws removed earlier in order to protect the SIM card slots.

Note: SIM behavior must be configured from the web UI before an Internet connection can be established.

Attach the External AntennasThe DWM-315 requires two external antennas to function correctly. The included antennas are interchangeable, but third-party antennas may require connection to specific ports. Figure 4: Attaching the Antennas

Attach the two LTE antennas to the SMA connectors on the back of the router labeled “Main” and “AUX.” Turn clockwise to fasten the antenna.
Place antennas where they will receive an optimal signal. Arrange them so they point upward.

Powering the DeviceThe DWM-315 features flexible power input ranging from 5 volts / 2 amps to 18 volts /0.7 amps. A minimum of 10 watts total is recommended.

Using the Included AC Adapter

Attach the barrel connector of the included AC adapter to the power port on the front panel.
Attach the AC adapter to an appropriate AC socket.

Connecting DevicesAfter the DWM-315 has been successfully installed, the router can be connected to the end device and the Internet via the LAN and WAN port.

To connect to the Internet, insert one end of a standard Cat 5/5e/6 RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the WAN port on your device, and insert the other end into the corresponding port on your modem.
Use a standard Category 5/5e/6 RJ-45 Ethernet cable to connect the end device to the router. The port will auto-negotiate to the highest possible port speed based on the connected device. Note that the DWM-315 supports a maximum transfer speed of 300 Mbps over Ethernet.

Management Options

Before You BeginThe D-Link router can be managed by using the Web User Interface (Web UI), Telnet, 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 InterfaceOnce 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 an RJ-45 Ethernet port
A standard Ethernet cable

Connect the Ethernet cable to the router’s Ethernet port and to the Ethernet port on the PC.
Configure the PC’s IP address to be in the network segment as the router. The router’s default IP address is 192.168.0.1, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. For example, to connect to the router using the default settings, your PC should have an IP address in the range 192.168.0.2.254 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
Open a web browser and enter http://192.168.0.1/ in the address field.
Log in to the administrator user interface.The default login information is:Username: adminPassword: admin.

SNMPYou can manage the device with any SNMP-compatible program. The SNMP function is disabled by default and must be enabled on the device first by using the Web UI, as described in the previous section.
