Section 3 - Configuration
The DAP-1350 can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public
IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network).
The DAP-1350 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked
with the DAP-1350 are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible
from the Internet by enabling Virtual Server. Depending on the requested service, the DAP-1350 redirects the external
service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
The DAP-1350 is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular port may be redirected to a
different port on the server computer.
Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List. There are
pre-defined virtual services already in the table. You may use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to
use that particular virtual service.
For a list of ports for common applications, please visit http://www.dlink.com/support/faq/?prod_id=1191.

connections, specify the port normally associated with an application in the “Trigger Port” field, select the protocol type
as TCP or UDP, then enter the firewall (public) ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic.

SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection, also known as
dynamic packet filtering) helps to prevent cyber
attacks by tracking more state per session. It
validates that the traffic passing through the
session conforms to the protocol.
Select one of the following for TCP and UDP
ports:
Endpoint Independent - Any incoming traffic
sent to an open port will be forwarded to the
application that opened the port. The port will
close if idle for 5 minutes.
Address Restricted - Incoming traffic must match
the IP address of the outgoing connection.
Address + Port Restriction - Incoming traffic
must match the IP address and port of the
outgoing connection.

Firewall Settings
A firewall protects your network from the outside world. The D-Link DAP-1350 offers a firewall type functionality. The
SPI feature helps prevent cyber attacks. Sometimes you may want a computer exposed to the outside world for certain
types of applications. If you choose to expose a computer, you can enable DMZ. DMZ is short for Demilitarized Zone.
This option will expose the chosen computer completely to the outside world.

Set the transmit power of the antennas.
Note: Transmit power is regulated by international
standard. Users are forbidden to change its
maximum limit.
Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to
synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value.
100 is the default setting and is recommended.
(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 1 is the default
setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients
of the next window for listening to broadcast and
multicast messages.
This value should remain at its default setting of
2346. If inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a
minor modification should be made.
The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes, determines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding
the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default setting.
WMM is QoS for your wireless network. This will improve the quality of video and voice applications for your wireless
clients.
Check this box to reduce the guard interval time therefore increasing the data capacity. However, it’s less reliable and may

A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add
the router to an existing network or to create a

Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplified method for securing your wireless network during the “Initial setup”
as well as the “Add New Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certified it across different products as well
as manufactures. The process is just as easy, as depressing a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering
the 8-digit code for the Pin-Code Method. The time reduction in setup and ease of use are quite beneficial, while the
highest wireless Security setting of WPA2 is automatically used.

This Wizard helps you add wireless devices to the wireless network.
The wizard will either display the wireless network settings to guide you through manual configuration, prompt you to enter
the PIN for the device, or ask you to press the configuration button on the device. If the device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup
and has a configuration button, you can add it to the network by pressing the configuration button on the device and then
the on the router within 60 seconds. The status LED on the router will flash three times if the device has been successfully
added to the network.
There are several ways to add a wireless device to your network. A “registrar” controls access to the wireless network. A
registrar only allows devices onto the wireless network if you have entered the PIN, or pressed a special Wi-Fi Protected Setup
button on the device. The router acts as a registrar for the network, although other devices may act as a registrar as well.
