3. Wireless BasicsD-LinkAirPluswireless products are based on industry standards to provideeasy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within yourhome, business or public access wireless networks. Strictly adhering to theIEEE standard, the D-LinkAirPlus wireless family of products will allow youto securely access the data you want, when and where you want it. You willbe able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.

A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network thattransmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. WirelessLANs are used increasingly in both home and office environments, andpublic areas such as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative waysto utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicatemore efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and otherfixed infrastructure have proven to be beneficial for many users.

Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network.Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support thesame protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.

Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devicesto link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to use servers, printers or anInternet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless AccessPoint (AP) is a device used to provide this link.

People use wireless LAN technology for many different purposes:

Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in anylocation within the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisionsbased on real-time information can significantly improve worker efficiency.

Low Implementation Costs WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks) areeasy to set up, manage, change and relocate. Networks that frequentlychange, both physically and logically, can benefit from WLANs ease of

implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiringmay be impractical.

Installation Speed and Simplicity - Installing a wireless LAN system canbe fast and easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls andceilings.

Wireless Basics

Network Expansion - Wireless technology allows the network to go wherewires cannot go.

Reduced Cost-of-Ownership - While the initial investment required forwireless LAN hardware might be higher than the cost of wired LAN hardware,overall installation expenses and life-cycle costs will be significantly lower.Long-term cost benefits are greatest in dynamic environments requiringfrequent moves, adds, and changes.

Scalability Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) can be configured in avariety of topologies to meet the needs of specific applications andinstallations. Configurations are easily changed and range from peer-to-peernetworks suitable for a small number of users to full infrastructure networksof thousands of users that allow roaming over a broad area.

D-LinkAirPlus Wireless Family of LAN products include:

Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptopcomputers (DWL-650+)

Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless PCI cards used with desktop computers(DWL-520+)

Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless Access Points (DWL-900AP+)

Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless Broadband Router (DI-614+)

The DWL-900AP+ will also work with D-Link Air802.11b wireless adapters,which include:

2.4GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop computers(DWL-650)

2.4GHz Wireless PCI cards used with desktop computers (DWL-520)

Standards - Based Technology

The IEEE standard-based technology assures that the D-LinkAirPlusProducts are interoperable with existing compatible 2.4GHz wirelesstechnology. This means you will be able to transfer large files quickly oreven watch a movie in MPEG format over your network without noticeabledelays. The technology works by using multiple frequencies in the 2.4GHzrange at speeds up to 22 Mbps. D-LinkAirPlus products will automatically

sense the best possible connection speed to ensure optimal networkperformance.

Installation ConsiderationsDesigned to go up to 1,312 feet (400 meters) outdoors and up to 328 feet(100 meters) indoors, D-LinksAirPlus DWL-900AP+ lets you access yournetwork using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere. Keep in mind,however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings or other

objects that the wireless signals must pass through may limit the range.Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF(radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizingwireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:

1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the wireless AccessPoint and your receiving device (e.g., the DWL-650+) to a minimum -Each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-LinkAirPlus Wireless productsrange from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your Access Points,

Residential Gateways, and computers so that the number of walls orceilings is minimized.

2. Be aware of the direct line between Access Points, ResidentialGateways (routers) and computers. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5meters), 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! Try to makesure that the Access Points and adapters are positioned so that thesignal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling for better reception.

3. Building Materials make a difference - A solid metal door or aluminumstuds may have a negative effect on range. Try to position Access Points,and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes throughdrywall or open doorways and not other materials.

4. Make sure that the devices antenna is positioned for best reception byusing the software signal strength tools included with your product.

5. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electricaldevices or appliances that may generate extreme RF noise.

For the average home, signal range should not be an issue. If youexperience low or no signal strength in areas of your home that you wish toaccess, consider positioning the Access Point in a location directly betweenthe computers with wireless adapters. Additional Access Points can beconnected to provide better coverage in rooms where the signal does notappear as strong as desired.

4. Getting Started

For the price of a single IP Address from your Broadband Internet Serviceprovider you can share the Internet with all the computers on your local

network, without sacrificing speed or security, using D-Link AirPlusnetworking products.

IP ADDRESS

An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point. The InfrastructureNetwork example shown on the next page contains the following D-Linknetwork devices:

A wireless Access Point - D-LinkAirPlus DWL-900AP+An Ethernet Broadband Router - D-Link DI-604A laptop computer with a wireless adapter - D-LinkAirPlus DWL-650+

A desktop computer with a wireless adapter - D-LinkAirPlus DWL-520+A Cable modem - D-Link DCM-200

DHCPstands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.It is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses automatically.

With a DHCP-capable gateway/router, there isno need to manually assign an IP address.

Please note: If you have a DHCP-capable router, such as the D-Link DI-604 or DI-614+, there is no need to assign an IP Address.

If you need to assign IP Addresses to the computers on thenetwork, please remember that the IP Address for eachcomputer must be in the same IP Address range as all the

computers in the network, and the Subnet mask must be exactlythe same for all the computers in the network.

For example: If the first computer is assigned an IP Address of192.168.0.2 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, then the secondcomputer can be assigned an IP Address of 192.168.0.3 with aSubnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, etc.

IMPORTANT: If computers or other devices are assigned thesame IP Address, one or more of the devices may not be

visible on the network.

Right out of the box, with its default settings, the DWL-900AP+ willautomatically connect with other D-LinkAirorAirPlus products.

2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the Infrastructuremode.

Make sure the wireless client is associated and joined with the correctAccess Point. To check this connection: Right-click on the LocalArea Connection icon in the taskbar> select View AvailableWireless Networks. The Connect to Wireless Network screen willappear. Please make sure you have selected the correct availablenetwork, as shown in the illustrations below.

Check that the IP Address assigned to the wireless adapter is within

the same IP Address range as the access point and gateway. Sincethe DWL-900AP+ has an IP Address of 192.168.0.50, wirelessadapters must have an IP Address in the same range, e.g.,192.168.0.x. Each device must have a unique IP Address; no twodevices may have the same IP Address. The subnet mask must bethe same for all the computers on the network.) To check the IPAddress assigned to the wireless adapter, double-click on theLocal Area Connection icon in the taskbar > select the Supporttab and the IP Address will be displayed. (Please refer to Checking

the IP Address in the Networking Basics section of this manual.)

If it is necessary to assign a Static IP Address to the wirelessadapter, please refer to the appropriate section in NetworkingBasics. If you are entering a DNS Server address you must alsoenter the Default Gateway Address. (Remember that if you have aDHCP-capable router, you will not need to assign a Static IP Address.See Networking Basics: Assigning a Static IP Address.)
