D-Link AirPlus DWL-900AP Manuale utente
If any of the above items are missing,
please contact your reseller.
Requirements
The computer you are using must have the following:
• A functional USB port. (Note: Please see Appendix A for more
information on the USB Configuration Utility and the SNMP
Configuration Utility. SNMP stands for Simple Network
Management Protocol.)
• The operating system must be Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, ME,
98SE, or 98
When you are networking your DWL-900AP with other D-Link Air Wireless
products, no configuration is needed! Your DWL-900AP has default settings that
will work with other D-Link Air products, right out of the box.
If there is a need to change the configuration, you may use the USB Configuration
Utility or the SNMP Utility. In order to use the SNMP Utility, the DWL-900AP
must first be assigned an IP address. Please complete the steps below to install and
configure the DWL-900AP with the USB Configuration Utility.

Installing the USB Drivers
Connect the power adapter cable to the access point and to a suitable power source
(power strip or electric outlet). Use a Cat 5 Ethernet straight-through cable to
connect the RJ-45 LAN port on the DWL-900AP to a hub, switch, or residential
gateway. Connect the DWL-900AP’s USB port to the USB port on your computer
using the USB cable provided. When the USB link is established, the computer will
automatically detect the connection and begin the installation of the USB driver.
The "Add New Hardware Wizard"
window will be displayed.

CD-ROM drive.
Click “Next.”
Select "Search for the best driver…"

Click “Next.”
Choose “Specify a location,”
Click “Browse.”
Select your CD drive, then select the
“usb-drv” directory.
Click “OK.”
Click “Next” in the window shown to

The “Admin Password” screen
will appear. Type the default
password “public” (all lower case)
in the empty field.
Click “OK.”
The “USB Configuration Utility” management interface will appear displaying
system information about the Wireless Access Point. Please read the User’s Manual
for a description of the information displayed in this screen.
Under the “Wireless Setting” tab, the
“Wireless ESSID” and the “Wireless
Channel” numbers are set to “default”
and “Channel 6” respectively. This is
the default configuration for
interoperability with D-Link Air
Wireless products.
Note: If you already have a wireless network running, you may change the
“Wireless Settings” to match that of your wireless network.
-6-
Select the “IP Config” tab to configure
the IP settings of the access point.
By default, the DWL-900AP is set as a
“DHCP Client.” If there is a DHCP
server such as a residential gateway on
your network (LAN port,) it will
automatically receive an IP address from
the DHCP server.
If there is no DHCP server,
you may want to manually assign an IP
address to the DWL-900AP. You must
“Disable” the “DHCP Client” function
and set the IP address and subnet mask
that is appropriate for your network. If
necessary, you can assign a “Gateway” IP
address here as well.
(Example: If your computer has an IP address of 192.168.0.5, you can assign the
DWL-900AP an IP address of 192.168.0.100.)
Once you have made your selection, click on “Apply” for the settings to take effect.
You have now assigned an IP address to the DWL-900AP. You may continue to
configure the wireless settings through the USB Configuration Utility, or you may
now access the device with the SNMP Utility. Please refer to the User’s Manual
for more information.

Appendix A
For ease of wireless use, we suggest using the USB Configuration Utility to obtain an IP
Address for the DWL-900AP. Follow the instructions in this Quick Install Guide to obtain
an IP address with the USB Configuration Utility. We suggest that, once you have
obtained the IP Address, you then use the SNMP Utility to manage your network. See
the manual for detailed information. If you elect to use the USB Configuration Utility to
manage your network, you will need to connect the DWL-900AP to a network computer
using the USB cable, during the management session. You will not need to connect the
USB cable, between your computer and the DWL-900AP, in order to use the SNMP
Utility to manage your network, once you have obtained an IP Address.
Appendix B
By default, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption is disabled. For data encryption, you
may enable either 64-bit or 128-bit WEP. All wireless devices on your network must use
the same WEP encryption in order to communicate with each other. Please refer to the
User’s Manual for a detailed explanation of WEP encryption.
