Select the transmission rate for the network.
Transmit Power:
Choose 100%, 50%(-3dB), 25% (-6dB), or
12.5% (-9dB).
Beacon Period:
Beacons are packets sent by an access point
to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a
beacon interval value. The default value 100
is recommended.
RTS Threshold:
This value should remain at its default setting
of 2,432. If you encounter inconsistent
data flow, only minor modifications to the
value range between 256 and 2,432 are
recommended.
Fragmentation: This value should remain at its default setting of 2,346. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly
decrease your fragmentation threshold within the value range of 256 to 2,346. Setting the fragmentation threshold too
low may result in poor performance.
DTIM Interval
(Beacon Rate):
A DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast
and multicast messages. The default vaule is 3 and the possible range of vaules is between 1 and 255.
Preamble Type:
Select Short or Long Preamble. The default setting in Long Preamble. The Preamble defines the length of the CRC block
(Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors) for communication between
the access point and roaming wireless network adapters. Note: High network traffic areas should use the short preamble
type.
WMM:
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is only available in Access Point Mode. WMM provides basic QoS (Quality of Service) functions
for wireless networks. WMM prioritizes traffic based on the 4 AC (Access Categories) of voice, video, best effort, and

Section 4 - Security
Wireless Security
This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The
DAP-1360 offers the following types of security:
• WPA-Personal (Pre-Shared Key)
• WPA2-Personal (Pre-Shared Key 2)
• WPA2-Auto-Personal				
• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
• WPA-Enterprise (Extensible Authentication Protocol)
• WPA2-Enterprise (Extensible Authentication Protocol 2)
• WPA2-Auto-Enterprise (Extensible Authentication Protocol 2 Auto)
What is WEP?
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and uses the RC4 encryption
algorithm. WEP provides security by encrypting data over your wireless network so that it is protected as it is transmitted
from one wireless device to another.
To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When
using WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit
encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal
- using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange – alphanumeric characters)
format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to
HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be defined so that you can change keys easily.

Section 4 - Security
What is WPA?
WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy).
There are 2 major improvements over WEP:
• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys
using a hashing algorithm and by adding an integrity-checking feature ensures that the keys haven’t
been tampered with.
• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, is done through the Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specific
MAC address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure publickey encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric
password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must
be the exact same key entered on your wireless router or access point.
WPA-EAP/WPA2-EAP incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP
is built on a more secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the
network.
WPA2-Auto-PSK/WPA2-Auto-EAP accepts wireless clients that use WPA or WPA2. Authentication is sill necessary.

Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DAP-1360. Read
the following descriptions if you are having problems. The examples below use Windows® XP. If you have a different
operating system, the troubleshooting steps may be different from the following examples.
1. Why can’t I access the web-based configuration utility?
When entering the IP address of the D-Link access point (for example, dlinkap), you are not connecting to a website
on the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device
itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility.
• Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following:
• Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher
• Firefox 1.5 or higher
• Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If you do not get a solid link light, try using
a different cable or connect to a different port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned off, the link light may
not be on.
• Disable any internet security software running on the computer. Software firewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice,
Sygate, Norton Personal Firewall, and Windows® XP firewall may block access to the configuration pages. Check the
help files included with your firewall software for more information on disabling or configuring it.

Wireless Basics
D-Link wireless products are based on the latest industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed
wireless connectivity within your home, business, or public wireless networks. Strictly adhering to IEEE standards, the
D-Link wireless family of products allows 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 Router is a device
used to provide this link.

Appendix B - Wireless Basics
What is Wireless?
Wireless or Wi-Fi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires. Wi-Fi
uses radio waves to connect wirelessly, so you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home or
office network.
Why D-Link Wireless?
D-Link is a worldwide leader and an award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products.
D-Link delivers the performance you need at a price you can afford. D-Link has all the products you need to build your
network.
How does wireless work?
Wireless works similar to how a cordless phone works- using radio signals to transmit data from one point to another.
However, wireless technology has restrictions as to how you can access the network. You must be within the wireless
network range area to be able to connect your computer. There are two different types of wireless networks: a Wireless
Local Area Network (WLAN) and a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN).
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
In a WLAN, a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to the network. The access point has a small
antenna attached to it, which allows it to transmit data back and forth over radio signals. With an indoor AP, the
signal can travel up to 300 feet. With an outdoor AP the signal can reach out up to 30 miles to serve places like
manufacturing plants, industrial locations, college and high school campuses, airports, golf courses, and many other
outdoor venues.

Appendix B - Wireless Basics
Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)
Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPANs. Bluetooth devices in WPANs operate in a
range up to 30 feet away.
The speed and wireless operation range of a WPAN is less than of a WLAN, but it excels in its efficient consumption
of power. WPANs are ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and
other devices that operate on batteries.
Who uses wireless?
Wireless technology has become so popular in recent years that almost everyone is using it, at home and in the
office.
Home
• Gives everyone at home broadband access
• Surf the web, check email, get instant messages, etc.
• Gets rid of the cables around the house
• Simple and easy to use
Small Office and Home Office (SOHO)
• Stay on top of everything at home as you would at the office
• Remotely access your office network from home
• Share an Internet connection and printer with multiple computers
• No need to dedicate office space

Appendix B - Wireless Basics
Where is wireless used?
Wireless technology is quickly expanding beyond home and office use. The freedom of mobility it offers is becoming
so popular that more and more public facilities are now providing wireless access to attract people. Public places that
offer wireless access is usually called a “hotspot”.
Using a D-Link Cardbus Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to Internet from remote
locations like airports, hotels, coffee shops, libraries, restaurants, and convention centers.
A wireless network is relatively easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the first time it could be quite a task not
knowing where to start. That’s why we’ve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of
setting up a wireless network.
Tips
Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.
Centralize your Access Point
Make sure you place the router/access point in a central location within your network for the best performance. Try to
place the router/access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed throughout your home. If
you have a two-story home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal and extend the range.
Eliminate Interference
Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the
router/access point. This will significantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause if operating on the
same frequency.

Appendix B - Wireless Basics
Security
Don’t let your next-door neighbors or unwanted intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless
network by turning on the WEP or WPA security feature on the access point. Refer to the section “Wireless Security”
in this manual for detailed information on how to set it up.
Wireless Modes
There are basically two modes of networking:
• Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.
• Ad-Hoc – Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless
network adapters on each computer.
An Infrastructure network contains an AP or a wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect to the
wireless router or the AP.
An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless cardbus adapters. All the adapters must be in
Ad-Hoc mode to communicate.

Check your IP address
After you install your network adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a
DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.
Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.
At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and
the default gateway of your adapter.
If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter
installation, security settings, and the settings
on your router. Some firewall software programs
may block a DHCP request on newly installed
adapters.
If you are connecting to a wireless network at a
hotspot in a hotel, coffee shop, airport, or another public place, please contact an employee or administrator to verify
their wireless network settings.

Appendix C - Networking Basics
Statically Assign an IP address
If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps
below:
Step 1
Windows® XP - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
Windows® 2000 - From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties.
Step 2
Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your network adapter and select Properties.
Step 3
Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.
Step 4
Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or the LAN
IP address on your router.
Example: If the router´s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address
192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number
you choose is not in use on the network. Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN
IP address of your router (192.168.0.1).
Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The
Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.
Step 5
Click OK twice to save your settings.
