3. Wireless Basics D-Link AirPlus 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 AirPlus wireless family of products will allow you to 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: 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 pull cable through walls and ceilings.
8 Wireless Basics 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. D-Link AirPlus Wireless Family of LAN products include:  Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop computers (DWL-650+)  Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless PCI cards used with desktop computers (DWL-520+)  Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless Router and Access Point (DI-614+,DWL-900AP+) The DI-614+ is also compatible with the D-Link Air 802.11b family of products, which include:  2.4GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop computers (DWL-650)  2.4GHz Wireless PCI cards used with desktop computers (DWL-520)  Wireless Router/Access Point/Print Servers (DI-713P)  Wireless Access Points (DWL-1000AP, DWL-900AP) Standards - Based Technology The IEEE standard-based technology assures that the D-Link AirPlus Products are interoperable with existing compatible 2.4GHz 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 at speeds up to 22 Mbps. D-Link AirPlus products will automatically
Wireless Basics sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible with the technology. Installation Considerations Designed to go up to 1,312 feet (400 meters) outdoors and up to 328 feet (100 meters) indoors, D-Link AirPlus DI-614+ lets you access your network with your laptop computer 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 thru may limit 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 range is to follow these basic guidelines: 1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the wireless Access Point and your receiving device (e.g., the DWL-650+) 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 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. Make sure that the device’s antenna is positioned for best reception by using the software signal strength tools included with your product. 5. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that may generate extreme RF noise. For the average home, signal range should not be an issue. If you experience low or no signal strength in areas of your home 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 where the signal does not appear as strong as desired.
10 4. Getting Started For the price of a single IP Address from your Broadband Internet Service provider you can share the Internet with all the computers on your local network, without sacrificing speed or security, using D-Link AirPlus networking products. IP ADDRESS The Infrastructure Network example shown on the following page contains the following D-Link network devices: A wireless Broadband Router - D-Link AirPlus DI-614+ A laptop computer with a wireless adapter - D-Link AirPlus DWL-650+ A desktop computer with a wireless adapter - D-Link AirPlus DWL-520+ A Cable modem - D-Link DCM-200 DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses “automatically.” With a DHCP-capable gateway/router, there is no need to manually assign an IP address. Please note: If you have a DHCP-capable router, such as the D-Link DI-614+, there is no need to assign an IP Address. If you need to assign IP Addresses to the computers on thenetwork, please remember that the IP Address for eachcomputer must be in the same IP Address range as all thecomputers in the network, and the Subnet mask must be exactlythe same for all the computers in the network. For example: If the first computer is assigned an IP Address of192.168.0.2 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, then the secondcomputer can be assigned an IP Address of 192.168.0.3 with aSubnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, etc. IMPORTANT: If computers or other devices are assigned thesame IP Address, one or more of the devices may not bevisible on the network. Right out of the box, with its default settings, the DI-614+ will automatically connect with other D-Link Air or AirPlus products.
Getting Started Setting Up an Infrastructure Network Please remember that D-Link AirPlus wireless devices are pre-configured to connect together, right out of the box, with the default settings. You will need a broadband Internet access (Cable/DSL) subscription. Consult with your Cable/DSL provider for proper installation of the modem. Connect the modem to the DI-614+ Wireless Broadband Router. See the Quick Installation Guide included with the router. If you are including a desktop computer in your network, you caninstall the D-Link DFE-530TX+ Ethernet NIC adapter into thedesktop computer. See the Quick Installation Guide included with theDFE-530TX+. Please refer to the following sections of this manual for additional information about setting up a network: Networking Basics- learn how to check your IP Address; share printers and files.

KEYS Keys 1-4 allow you to easily change wireless encryption settings to maintain a secure network. Simply select the specific key to be used for encrypting wireless data on the network.
WAN WAN is short for Wide Area Network. The WAN settings can be referred to as the Public settings. All IP information in the WAN settings are public IP addresses which are accessible on the Internet. The WAN settings consist of three options: Dynamic IP Address, Static IP Address, and PPPoE. Select the appropriate option and fill in the information needed to connect to your ISP. Home > WAN Dynamic IP Address Choose Dynamic IP Address to obtain IP address information automatically from your ISP. Select this option if your ISP does not give you any IP numbers to use. This option is commonly used for Cable modem services. Host Name: The Host Name field is optional but may be required by some ISPs. The host name is the device name of the Broadband Router. MAC Address: The default MAC address is set to the WAN's physical interface MAC address on the Broadband Router. You can use the "Clone MAC Address" button to copy the MAC address of the Ethernet Card installed by your ISP and replace the WAN MAC address with this MAC address. It is not recommended that you change the default MAC address unless required by your ISP. Please be sure to remove any existing PPPoE client software installed on your computers
16 Static IP Address Choose Static IP Address if all WAN IP information is provided to you by your ISP. You will need to enter in the IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, and DNS address(es) provided to you by your ISP. Each IP address entered in the fields must be in the appropriate IP form, which are four IP octets separated by a dot (x.x.x.x). The Router will not accept the IP address if it is not in this format. IP Address: Public IP address provided by your ISP. Subnet Mask: Subnet mask provided by your ISP. ISP Gateway Address: Public IP address of your ISP that you are connecting to. Primary DNS Address: Primary DNS (Domain Name Server) IP provided by your ISP Secondary DNS Address: optional
PPPoE Please be sure to remove any Client Software program on your computer before you start your configuration of the DI-614+ Router. Choose PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) if your ISP uses PPPoE connection. Your ISP will provide you with a username and password. This option is typically used for DSL services. Select Dynamic PPPoE to obtain an IP address automatically for your PPPoE connection. Select Static PPPoE to use a static IP address for your PPPoE connection. Dynamic PPPoE: PPPoE connection where you will receive an IP address automatically from your ISP Static PPPoE: PPPoE connection where you have an assigned (static) IP address User Name: Your PPPoE username provided by your ISP Password: Your PPPoE password provided by your ISP Retype Password: Re-enter PPPoE password Service Name: Enter the service name provided by your ISP. (optional) IP Address: This option is only available for Static PPPoE. Enter in the static IP address for the PPPoE connection. Primary DNS Address: Primary DNS IP provided by your ISP Secondary DNS Address: optional Maximum Idle time: The amount of time of inactivity before disconnecting your PPPoE session. Enter a Maximum Idle Time (in minutes) to define a maximum period of time for which the Internet connection is maintained during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer than the defined 1492
18 Maximum Idle Time, then the connection will be dropped. Either set this to zero or enable Auto-reconnect to disable this feature. MTU: MTU stands for Maximum Transmission Unit. For PPPoE connections, you may need to change the MTU settings in order to work correctly with your ISP. Auto-reconnect: If enabled, the Broadband Router will automatically connect to your ISP after your system is restarted or if the connection is dropped. HOME > LAN LAN is short for Local Area Network. This is considered your internal network. These are the IP settings of the LAN interface for the DI-614+. These settings may be referred to as Private settings. You may change the LAN IP address if needed. The LAN IP address is private to your internal network and cannot be seen on the Internet. IP Address: The IP address of the LAN interface. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1. Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of the LAN interface. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Local Domain Name: This field is optional. Enter in the your local domain name.
HOME > DHCP DHCP DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DI-614+ has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP address to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically.” When you turn your computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the DI-614+. The DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP address pool. Starting IP address: The starting IP address for the DHCP server’s IP assignment. Ending IP address: The ending IP address for the DHCP server’s IP assignment. Lease Time: The length of time for the IP lease.
20 ADVANCED > VIRTUAL SERVER Virtual Server The DI-614+ 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 DI-614+ firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the DI-614+ 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 DI-614+ redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
The DI-614+ 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 services that are created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List. There are already 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. Name: The name referencing the virtual service. Private IP: The server computer in the LAN (Local Area Network) that will be providing the virtual services. Private Port: The port number of the service used by the Private IP computer. Protocol Type: The protocol used for the virtual service. Public Port: The port number on the WAN side that will be used to access the virtual service. Schedule: The schedule of time when the virtual service will be enabled. The schedule may be set to Always, which will allow the particular service to always be enabled. If it is set to Time, select the time frame for the service to be enabled. If the system time is outside of the scheduled time, the service will be disabled. Example #1: If you have a Web server that you wanted Internet users to access at all times, you would need to enable it. Web (HTTP) server is on LAN (Local Area Network) computer 192.168.0.25. HTTP uses port 80, TCP. Name: Web Server Private IP: 192.168.0.25 Protocol Type: TCP Private Port: 80 Public Port: 80 Schedule: always Click on this icon to edit the virtual service. Click on this icon to delete the virtual service.
22 Example #2: If you have an FTP server that you wanted Internet users to access by WAN port 2100 and only during the weekends, you would need to enable it as such. FTP server is on LAN computer 192.168.0.30. FTP uses port 21, TCP. Name: FTP Server Private IP: 192.168.0.30 Protocol Type: TCP Private Port: 21 Public Port: 2100 Schedule: From: 01:00AM to 01:00AM, Sat to Sun • All Internet users who want to access this FTP Server must connect to it from port 2100. This is an example of port redirection and can be useful in cases where there are many of the same servers on the LAN network. ADVANCED > APPLICATIONS Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, Internet telephony and others. These applications have
difficulties working through NAT (Network Address Translation). Special Applications makes some of these applications work with the DI-614+. If you need to run applications that require multiple 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 public ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic. The DI-614+ provides some predefined applications in the table on the bottom of the web page. Select the application you want to use and enable it. Note! Only one PC can use each Special Application tunnel. Trigger Name: This is the name referencing the special application. Trigger Port: This is the port used to trigger the application. It can be either a single port or a range of ports. Trigger Type: This is the protocol used to trigger the special application. Public Port: This is the port number on the WAN side that will be used to access the application. You may define a single port or a range of ports. You can use a comma to add multiple ports or port ranges. Public Type: This is the protocol used for the special application. Schedule: This is the schedule of time when the special application will be enabled. Filters Filters are used to deny or allow LAN (Local Area Network) computers from accessing the Internet. The DI-614+ can be setup to deny internal computers by their IP or MAC addresses. The DI-614+ can also block users from accessing restricted web sites. IP Filters Use IP Filters to deny LAN IP addresses from accessing the Internet. You can deny specific port numbers or all ports for ADVANCED > FILTERS
24 the specific IP address. IP: The IP address of the LAN computer that will be denied access to the Internet. Port: The single port or port range that will be denied access to the Internet. Schedule: This is the schedule of time when the IP Filter will be enabled. MAC Filters Use MAC (Media Access Control) Filters to allow or deny LAN (Local Area Network) computers by their MAC addresses from accessing the Internet. You can either manually add a MAC address or select the MAC address from the list of clients that are currently connected to the Broadband Router. URL Blocking URL Blocking is used to deny LAN computers from accessing specific web sites by its URL. A URL is a specially formatted text string that defines a location on the Internet. If any part of the URL contains the blocked word, the site will not be accessible and the web page will not display.
Domain Blocking Domain Blocking is used to allow or deny LAN (Local Area Network) computers from accessing specific domains on the Internet. Domain blocking will deny all requests to a specific domain such as http and ftp. It can also allow computers to access specific sites and deny all other sites.
26 ADVANCED > FIREWALL Firewall Rules is an advance feature used to deny or allow traffic from passing through the Broadband Router. It works in the same way as IP Filters with additional settings. You can create more detailed access rules for the DI-614+. When virtual services are created and enabled, it will also display in Firewall Rules. Firewall Rules contains all network firewall rules pertaining to IP (Internet Protocol). In the Firewall Rules List at the bottom of the screen, the priorities of the rules are from top (highest priority) to bottom (lowest priority.) Note: The DI-614+ MAC Address filtering rules have precedence over the Firewall Rules.
ADVANCED > DMZ If you have a client PC that cannot run Internet applications properly from behind the DI-614+, then you can set the client up to unrestricted Internet access. It allows a computer to be exposed to the Internet. This feature is useful for gaming purposes. Enter the IP address of the internal computer that will be the DMZ host. Adding a client to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) may expose your local network to a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort. Admin At this page, the DI-614+ administrator can change the system password. There are two accounts that can access the Broadband Router’s Web-Management interface. They are admin and user. Admin has read/write access while user has read-only access. User can only view the settings but cannot make any changes. TOOLS > ADMIN
28 Remote Management Remote Management allows the DI-614+ to be configured from the Internet by a web browser. A username and password is still required to access the Web-Management interface. In general, only a member of your network can browse the built-in web pages to perform “Administrator” tasks. This feature enables you to perform “Administrator” tasks from the remote (Internet) host. IP Address: Internet IP address of the computer that has access to the Broadband Router. It is not recommended that you set the IP address to * (star), because this allows any Internet IP address to access the Broadband Router, which could result in a loss of security for your network. If you elect to enable Remote Management, enter the IP Address of your remote location. Port: Select the port number used to access the Broadband Router. Example: http://x.x.x.x:8080 whereas x.x.x.x is the WAN IP address of the Broadband Router and 8080 is the port used for the Web-Management interface. Time The system time is the time used by the DI-614+ for scheduling services. You can manually set the time or connect to a NTP (Network Time Protocol) server. If an NTP server is set, you will only need to set the time zone. If you manually set the time, you may also set Daylight Saving dates and the system time will automatically adjust on those dates. System Settings The current system settings can be saved as a file onto the local hard drive. The saved file or any other saved setting file can be loaded back on the Broadband Router. To reload a system settings file, click on Browse to browse the TOOLS > TIME TOOLS > SYSTEM
local hard drive and locate the system file to be used. You may also reset the Broadband Router back to factory settings by clicking on Restore. Firmware Upgrade You can upgrade the firmware of the Broadband Router at this page. Make sure the firmware you want to use is on the local hard drive of the computer. Click on Browse to browse the local hard drive and locate the firmware to be used for the update. Please check the D-Link support site for firmware updates at http://support.dlink.com. Miscellaneous Items These are additional tools and features of the Broadband Router. Ping Test This useful diagnostic utility can be used to check if a computer is on the Internet. It sends ping packets and listens for replies from the specific host. TOOLS > FIRMWARE TOOLS > MISC
30 Restart Device If for any reason the Broadband Router is not responding correctly, you may want to restart the Broadband Router. Block WAN Ping When you “Block WAN Ping”, will not respond to ping commands from the Internet. Pinging public WAN IP addresses is a common method used by hackers to test whether your WAN IP address is valid. Discard PING from WAN side: By enabling this option, the DI-614+ will not reply to ping (ICMP) request packets from the Internet. VPN Pass-Through The Broadband Router supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through for both PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) and IPSec (IP Security). Once VPN pass-through is enabled, there is no need to open up virtual services. Multiple VPN connections can be made through the Broadband Router. This is useful when you have many VPN clients on the LAN network.
