wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-

use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or

public access wireless networks. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the D-Link

Pro wireless family of products will allow you to securely access the data you

want, when and where you want it. 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 and the absence of cabling and other

fixed 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 the

same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.

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 a device used to provide this link.

People use wireless LAN technology for many different purposes:

MobilityMobility

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.

The versatile DWL-6000AP Multimode Wireless Access Point integrates both

802.11a and 802.11b standards into a single unit.

The IEEE 802.11a standard designates that devices operate at an optimal

data rate of 54 Mbps (108Mbps in proprietary

Turbo

mode.) 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. This technology works

by transmitting high-speed digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM

(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology. OFDM works by

splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller sub-signals that are then

transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM

reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions.

products will automatically sense the best possible connection

speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible.

Based on the IEEE 802.11b standard, the DWL-6000AP is also interoperable

with existing compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data transfer

speeds of up to 22Mbps (with D-Link

Air

Plus Family of Wireless devices,) as

well as standard 802.11b technology (with D-Link

Air

Family of Wireless

devices), with speeds of up to 11Mbps.

Supports 802.1x Authentication to prevent breeches in security. In

conjunction with EAP software, 802.1x Authentication verifies client identity

through a Radius Server to prevent unknown clients from accessing the

network.

Installation Considerations

Designed to go up to 328 feet (100 meters) indoors, D-Link

Air

Pro DWL-

6000AP lets you access your network, 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 maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic

guidelines:

1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-6000AP and

your receiving device (e.g., the DWL-A650) to a minimum - each wall or

ceiling can reduce your D-Link

Air

Pro Wireless product’s range from 3-90

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

and computers so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

2. Be aware of the direct line 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 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 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 generate RF noise.

For the average home or office, signal range should not be an issue. If you

experience low or no signal strength in areas of your home or office that you

wish to access, consider positioning the Access Point in a location directly

between the computers with wireless adapters. Additional Access Points

can be connected to provide better coverage in rooms or offices where the

signal does not appear as strong as desired.
