2. Introduction

The D-Link Air DWL-810 Ethernet-to-Wireless Bridge is a device that can be

implemented in a variety of ways to provide wireless access by converting

an Ethernet connection. For devices with a built-in Ethernet port, the DWL-

810 provides a cost effective way to gain wireless connectivity, virtually

transforming wired devices into wireless units! Connect any Ethernet-

enabled device to an existing 802.11b wireless network using the DWL-810.

Typical applications include connecting a printer to a wireless network, and

connecting Ethernet-enabled devices such as game consoles or set-top

boxes to the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). Simply connect the

DWL-810 to the Ethernet port (RJ-45) of a network device, such as a

network storage device, Internet camera, network printer, network scanner,

or other similar device. Using the DWL-810 allows flexibility of placing

network devices in remote locations but still maintains the advantage of

High-Speed connection.

When the DWL-810 is used to connect to another DWL-810, there is no

configuration required. For example, install the DWL-810 into a network

device such as a web camera. The camera will automatically communicate

with a wireless adapter-equipped (DWL-650+) laptop that is also set to Ad-

Hoc mode.

This manual provides a quick introduction to wireless technology and its

application as it relates to networking. Please take a moment to read

through this manual and get acquainted with wireless technology.

Category 5 is the most reliable grade of twisted-pair cable. It is either Straight-

Through cable or Cross-Over cable. Always check your installation instructions

to make sure that you have selected the correct type of Category 5 cable.

For the DWL-810, you will use Cross-Over cable to connect to a computer

for configuration and to connect to any device with an Ethernet adapter.

Use a Straight-Through cable to connect the DWL-810 directly to a switch.

Ethernet Port – an RJ-45 jack

provides connection to a network

device using a Cat 5 Ethernet

cable. (Use the included

Cross-Over CAT5 cable when

connecting to another Ethernet

adapter, like the port in a gaming

console; use a Straight-Through

CAT5 cable when connecting to a

switch.)

3. Wireless Basics

With the DWL-810 you can provide instant wireless access to the LAN (Local

Area Network) for Ethernet-enabled devices. Simply plug the DWL-810 into

the Ethernet port of a network device (such as a printer or web camera) for

an immediate wireless connection with another device equipped with a

wireless network adapter set to Ad-Hoc mode.

If you are planning a larger wireless network, D-Link can supply most of your

wireless local area network needs. In this section, we discuss typical

wireless local area networks (WLANs) and their components. Much of the

advice given here may be helpful in setting up the DWL-810. It may also

give you some ideas, if you plan to expand your wireless network.

D-Link Air and AirPlus wireless products are based on industry standards to

provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within

your home, business or wherever a wireless network is available. Strictly

adhering to the IEEE 802.11b standard, the D-Link Air and AirPlus family of

wireless products will allow you to access the data you want, when and

where you want it. No longer will you be limited to one location or forced to

run new wiring through your home or office. You will be able to enjoy the

freedom that wireless networking delivers.

A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that

transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. Wireless

LANs are used increasingly in both home and office environments, and

public areas such as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways

to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate

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

fixed infrastructure has 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 the

same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards. For most users, there is no

noticeable functional difference between a wired Ethernet desktop computer

and a wireless computer equipped with a wireless adapter other than the

added benefit of the ability to roam within a wireless-cell. Under many

circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a

conventional Ethernet LAN in order to use servers, printers or an Internet

connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Access Point (AP) is

one device used to provide this link.

Wireless Basics

Now, without an Access Point, or a wireless LAN, you can access a network

device (such as a network printer, network scanner, web camera or gaming

consoles) wirelessly, quickly and easily, with no need for configuration using

the DWL-810.

People use wireless LAN 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 significantly improve worker efficiency.

Low Implementation Costs – WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks) are

easy to set up, manage, change and relocate. Networks that frequently

change, both physically and logically, can benefit from WLANs ease of

implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring

may be impractical.

Installation Speed and Simplicity - Installing a wireless LAN system can

be fast and easy and can eliminate the need to install cable through walls

and ceilings.

Network Expansion - Wireless technology allows the network to go where

wires cannot go.

Reduced Cost-of-Ownership - While the initial investment required for

Wireless 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 requiring frequent moves, adds, and changes.

Scalability - Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) can be configured in a

variety of topologies to meet the needs of specific applications and

installations. Configurations are easily changed and range from peer-to-peer

networks suitable for a small number of users to full infrastructure networks

of thousands of users that allow roaming over a broad area.

 Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop

computers (DWL-650+)

 Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless PCI cards used with desktop computers

(DWL-520+)

 Wireless Access Points (DWL-900AP+)

Standards - Based Technology

The IEEE standard-based technology assures that the D-Link Air Products

are interoperable with existing compatible wireless technology. This means

you will be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in

MPEG format over your network without noticeable delays. The technology

works by using multiple frequencies in the 2.4GHz range. D-Link Air

products will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to

ensure the greatest speed and range possible with the technology.

Installation Considerations

Designed to go up to 984 feet (300 meters) outdoors and up to 328 feet (100

meters) indoors, the D-Link Air DWL-810 lets you access your network

devices wirelessly from virtually anywhere. Keep in mind, however, that the

number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings or other objects that the

wireless signal must pass thru may limit range. Typical ranges vary

depending on the types of materials and any background RF (radio

frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing range is

to follow these basic guidelines:

1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-810 and your

receiving device (e.g., the DWL-520+) to a minimum - Each wall or

ceiling can reduce your D-Link Air Wireless product’s range from 3-90

feet (1-30 meters.) Position your DWL-810, Access Points, Residential

Gateways, and computers so that the number of walls or ceilings is

minimized.

2. Be aware of the direct line between the DWL-810 and the device with

which it communicates, as well as between Access Points, Residential

Gateways (routers), and computers. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.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! Try to make

Wireless Basics

sure that the Access Points and Adapters are positioned so that the

signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling for better reception.

3. Building Materials make a difference - A solid metal door or aluminum

studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position the DWL-810,

the Access Points, and computers with wireless adapters so that the

signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.

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

devices or appliances that may generate extreme RF noise.

Using radio frequency (RF) technology, the DWL-810 transmits and receives

data over the air, eliminating the need for a wired connection.

4. Getting Started

Setup #1: This example illustrates an Ad-Hoc setup. Simply connect the

DWL-810 (refer to the Quick Installation Guide) to your Ethernet-capable

network device (in this case, a gaming console) and you will automatically

connect wirelessly with other gaming consoles that are connected to a

DWL-810. No configuration is needed in this setup!
