Wireless Basics D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easyto-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 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 Wireless Basics (continued) 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. 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. Network Expansion - Wireless technology allows the network to go where wires cannot go. 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 larger infrastructure networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the number of wireless devices deployed. Wireless Basics (continued) The DI-754 is compatible with other D-Link AirPro 802.11a products, which include: ♦ 5GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop computers (DWL-A650) ♦ 5GHz Wireless PCI Adapters used with desktop computers (DWL-A520) The DI-754 is also compatible with the D-Link AirPlus 802.11b wireless family (when you install the DWL-650+ into the expansion slot), which includes: ♦ Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop computers (DWL-650+) ♦ Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless PCI cards used with desktop computers (DWL-520+) Standards-Based Technology The versatile DI-754 Wireless Broadband Router integrates both 802.11a and optional (with D-Link DWL-650+) 802.11b standards into a single unit. The IEEE 802.11a standard designates that devices may operate at an optimal data rate of 54 Mbps (72 Mbps in proprietary Turbo mode.) This means that in most environments, within the specified range of this device, 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 highspeed 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. D-Link AirPro 802.11a products will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible. Based on the IEEE 802.11b standard (when the optional D-Link DWL-650+ is installed in the expansion slot), the DI-754 is also interoperable with existing compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data transfer speeds of up to 22Mbps (with the D-Link AirPlus family of wireless devices), as well as standard 802.11b technology (the D-Link Air family of wireless devices), with speeds of up to 11Mbps. Wireless Basics (continued) Installation Considerations The D-Link AirPro DI-754 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 DI-754 and your receiving device (e.g., the DWL-A650 or the DWL-650+) to a minimum each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link AirPro Wireless product’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your receiving devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized. 2. Be aware of the direct line between 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 devices 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 wireless devices 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. Getting Started Right out of the box, with its default settings, the DI-754 will connect with other D-Link AirPro products. With 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 DI-754 Wireless Router. IP ADDRESS Note: If you are using a DHCP-capable router in your network setup, such as the DI-754, you will not need to assign a static IP Address. If you need to assign IP Addresses to the computers on the network, please remember that the IP Address for each computer must be in the same IP Address range as all the computers in the network, and the Subnet mask must be exactly the same for all the computers in the network. For example: If the first computer is assigned an IP Address of 192.168.0.2 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, then the second computer can be assigned an IP Address of 192.168.0.3 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, etc. IMPORTANT: If computers or other devices are assigned the same IP Address, one or more of the devices may not be visible on the network. An Infrastructure wireless network contains an Access Point. (Note: The DI-754 has a built-in 802.11a Access Point.) The Infrastructure Network example, shown here, contains the following D-Link network devices: A wireless Router - D-Link AirPro DI-754 A laptop computer with a wireless adapter - D-Link AirPro DWL-A650 or AirPlus DWL-650+ A desktop computer with a wireless adapter - D-Link AirPro DWL-A520 or AirPlus DWL-520+ A Cable modem - D-Link DCM-200 Note: to utilize the 802.11b connection to your network, please install the D-Link DWL-650+ into the slot on the back of the DI754.

Any packet size exceeding 2432 will trigger the DI-754 to use RTS/ CTS mechanism for transmission. Fragmentation- This value should also remain at its default setting of 2346. 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. DTIM interval- (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 3 is the default setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. Basic Rates- Choose from1-2Mbps; 1,2,5.5,11 Mbps; or 1,2,5.5,11,22 Mbps TX Rates- Select the basic transfer rates based on the speed of the wireless adapters on the WLAN (wireless local area network); choose from among the same ranges as those listed in the Basic Rates,above. 31 Using the Configuration Menu Advanced > Performance > 802.11b+ continued Preamble Type- select Short or Long Preamble. The Preamble Type defines the length of the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) block for communication between the DI-754 and roaming wireless adapters. Make sure to select the appropriate preamble type and click Apply. Note: High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type. CRC is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors. select Open system or Shared Key Open System - the DI-754 will be visible to all devices on the network. This is the default setting Shared Key - in this mode, in order to access the DI-754 on the network, the device must be listed in the MAC Address Control List Authentication- Apply- click Apply to save changes Tools> Admin Administrator Login Name- admin is the default login name for the Admin account User Login Name- user is the default login name for the User account Admin Password- the default setting is blank - no password. To change the password, enter and confirm the new password. User Password- the default setting is blank - no password. To change the password, enter and confirm the new password. 32 Using the Configuration Menu Tools> Admin continued Remote ManagementRemote Management allows the DI-754 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 Router. It is not recommended that you set the IP address to * (star), because this allows any Internet IP address to access the Router, which could result in a loss of security for your network. If you elect to enable Remote Management, make sure to enter the IP Address of the remote computer allowed to configure the DI-754. Port- For security purposes, select a separate port number used to access the Router. (The following is an example only; you may use a different port number.) Example: http://x.x.x.x:8080 where x.x.x.x is the WAN IP address of the Router and 8080 is the port used for the Web-Management interface. Tools > Time Time settings- in this window you can choose the time zone; set the time; and enable or disable Daylight Savings Time. Default NTP Server- NTP is short for Network Time Protocol. NTP synchronizes computer clock times in a network of computers.

Click Apply to complete the firmware upgrade. 35 Using the Configuration Menu Tools > Misc Ping Test- the Ping Test is used to send Ping packets to test if a computer is on the Internet. Enter the IP Address that you wish to Ping, and click Ping Restart Device- click Reboot to restart the DI-754 Block WAN Ping- if you choose to block WAN Ping, the WAN IP Address of the DI-754 will not respond to pings. Blocking the Ping may provide some extra security from hackers. Discard Ping from WAN sideVPN Pass Through- click Enabled to block the WAN ping the DI-754 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 DI-754. This is useful when you have many VPN clients on the LAN network. PPTP- select Enabled or Disabled IPSec- select Enabled or Disabled Apply- click Apply to save changes 36 Using the Configuration Menu Status > Device Info Device Information- This screen displays information about the DI-754 37 Using the Configuration Menu Status > Log DI-754 View Log- this screen displays the activity on the DI-754 Log Settings- for advanced features, click on Log Settings 38 Using the Configuration Menu Status > Stats DI-754 Traffic Statistics- displays the receive and transmit packets that are passing through the DI-754.
