Wireless Basics

D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and

compatible high-speed wirelessconnectivitywithin your home, businessor public access

wireless networks. D-Link wireless products will allow you access to the data you want,

whenand whereyouwantit.You willbeable toenjoythe freedom thatwireless networking

brings.

A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits

and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. WLANs are used increasingly in

both home and office environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops and

universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLANtechnologyare helping people to work and

communicate more efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other

fixed infrastructure have proven to be beneficial for manyusers.

Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless

adapter cards.

People use WLAN technology for many different purposes:

Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in any location

within the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions based on real-time

information can significantlyimprove worker efficiency.

Low Implementation Costs WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change and

relocate.NetworksthatfrequentlychangecanbenefitfromWLANseaseofimplementation.

WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be impractical.

Installation and Network Expansion - Installing a WLAN system can be fast

and easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless

technology allows the network to go where wires cannot go - even outside the home or

office.

Scalability WLANs can be configured in a variety of ways to meet the needs of

specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and range from

peer-to-peernetworkssuitableforasmallnumberofuserstolargerinfrastructurenetworks

to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the number of wireless

devices deployed.

Inexpensive Solution - Wireless network devices are as competitively priced as

conventionalEthernet network devices.

The DWL-610 is compatible with 802.11b wireless products, which include:

D-Link AirPlus DWL-650+

2.4GHz Wireless CardbusAdapter used with laptop computers

D-Link Air DWL-510, D-Link AirPlus DWL-520+

2.4GHz Wireless PCI cards used with desktop computers

D-Link AirPlus DWL-900AP+

Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless Access Point

D-Link AirPlus DI-614+, DI-714P+

Enhanced 2.4GHzWireless Broadband Routers

Standards-Based Technology

Based on the IEEE 802.11b standard, the DWL-610 is also interoperable with existing

compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data transfer speeds of up to 11Mbps.

Installation Considerations

The D-Link Air DWL-610 lets you access your network, using a wireless connection,

from virtuallyanywherewithinits operatingrange.Keepin mind,however,thatthenumber,

thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must

passthrough,maylimittherange.Typicalrangesvarydependingonthetypes ofmaterials

and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to

maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:

Wireless Basics (continued)

Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical

devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

Keep the number of walls and ceilings between theDWL-610 and other

network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link

Air Wireless product’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.)Posit i o n your

devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

Be aware of the direct line between network devices.Awall that is 1.5 feet thick

(.5meters), at a 45-degree angle appears tobe 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.

BuildingMaterialscanimpedethewirelesssignal-asolidmetaldoororaluminum

studs mayhave a negative effect on range. Trytoposition wireless devices and

computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or

open doorways and not other materials.

There are basically two modes of networking:

Infrastructure using an Access Point or Router, such as

theDI-614+

Ad-Hoc directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-

peer communication, using wireless network adapters on

each computer, such as two or moreDWL-610 wireless

network adapters.

On the following pages we will show you an example of an Infrastructure Network

and an Ad-HocNetwork.

An Infrastructure network contains anAccess Point or Router. The Infrastructure

Network example shown on the following page contains the followingD-Link network

devices (your existing network may be comprised of other devices):

Getting Started

A wireless Router - D-Link AirPlus DI-614+

Alaptop computer with a wireless adapter -

D-Link Air DWL-610

Adesktop computer with a wireless adapter -

D-Link Air DWL-510

A Cable modem - D-Link DCM-200

With its default settings, the DWL-610, when activated, will connect

with other D-Link Air products, right out of the box.

Please remember that D-Link Air wireless devices are pre-configured to connect

together, right out of the box, with their default settings.

You will need broadband Internet access (a Cable orDSL-subscriber line into

your home or office)

Consult with your Cable orDSLprovider for proper installation of the modem

Connect the Cable orDSLmodem to your broadband router (see the Quick

Installation Guide included with your router.)

Install theD-Link AirDWL-510 wireless PCI adapter into an available PCI slot on

your desktop computer.

(See the Quick InstallationGuide included with theDWL-510.)

Install theD-Link Air DWL-610 wireless Cardbus adapter into a laptop computer.

(See the Quick Installation Guide included with theDWL-610.)

Getting Started (continued)

For a typical wireless setup at home (as shown above), please do the

following:

Setting up a Wireless Infrastructure Network

If you wish, you may connect a computer that is equipped with an Ethernet

network adapter (such as aDFE-530TX+) to the router also.

Getting Started (continued)

Setting up a Wireless Ad Hoc Network

Install the Wireless PCI adapter(e.g.,DWL-510) into the desktop computer.

(See the Quick Installation Guide included with the product for installation

instructions.)

Install theDWL-610 wireless Cardbus adapter into a laptop computer. (See

the Quick Installation Guide included with the product.)

Set the wireless configuration for the adapters to Ad-Hoc mode, set the

adapters to the same channel, and assign an IPAddress to each computer

on theAd-Hoc network. (See Box below)

IPAddress

Desktop

When assigning IP Addresses to the computers on the network, please remember

that the IP Address for each computer must be in the same IP Address range

as all the computers in the network, and the subnet mask must be exactly the

same for all the computers in the network.

For example: If the first computer is assigned an IPAddress of 192.168.0.2 with a

Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, then the second computer can be assigned an IP

Address of 192.168.0.3 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, etc.

IMPORTANT: If computers or other devices are assigned the same IPAddress,

one or more of the devices may not be visible on the network.
