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 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 Basics
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, 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.
Scalability - Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) can be configured in a
variety of topologies to meet the needs of specific applications or existing
infrastructure. 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
The DI-824VUP is compatible with other D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G 802.11g
products, which include:
♦Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop
computers (DWL-G650)
♦Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless PCI cards used with desktop computers
(DWL-G520)
Installation Considerations
The D-Link AirPlus G+ DI-824VUP 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-824VUP and
your receiving device (e.g., the DWL-G650) to a minimum-each wall or
ceiling can reduce your D-Link AirPlus 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.
Based on the IEEE 802.11g standard, the DI-824VUP is interoperable with
existing compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data transfer speeds of
up to 54Mbps (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.
Standards-Based Technology
9
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 Air networking products.
Getting Started
An Infrastructure wireless network contains an Access Point. The
Infrastructure Network example, shown here, contains the following D-Link
network devices:
A wireless Broadband Router -
D-Link AirPlus G+ DI-824VUP
A laptop computer with a wireless adapter -
D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-G650
A desktop computer with a wireless adapter -
D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-G520
A Cable modem -
D-Link DCM-201
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 function properly on
the network.
IP ADDRESS
With its default settings, the DI-824VUP will connect with
other D-Link Air or AirPlus products, right out of the box.
Note: If you are using a DHCP-capable router in your network setup, such
as the DI-824VUP, you will not need to assign a static IP Address.

Encryption Key
The 802.1x is an authentication method which is designed to
compliment the existing WEP encryption. During the authentication
process, the server verifies the identity of the client attempting to
connect to the network. With the proper client account and encryption
key, access to the network is granted. Unfamiliar encryption key or
clients are denied from accessing the wireless network. This feature
will help safe guard a Local Area Network (LAN) from unwanted visitors.
To take the full advantage of the 802.1x in DI-824VUP, all of the
wireless devices on your network must be 802.1x compatible and
must have the 802.11x feature enabled to communicate with the
router. (Note: Windows 2000 users will find a few downloads to
enable 802.1x clients on the Microsoft website.)

servers in the LAN (Local Area Network).
The DI-824VUP firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN
network so all computers networked with the DI-824VUP 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-824VUP
redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
