2. Introduction
The D-Link Air DWL-810 Ethernet Wireless Client Adapter can be configured
to take on a variety of roles within the wireless network. For devices with
built-in Ethernet support, the DWL-810 provides a cost effective way to gain
wireless connectivity, virtually transforming a wired network into a wireless
one! Connect any Ethernet-enabled device to an 802.11b wireless network
using the DWL-810.
The DWL-810 contains a processor, a socket for a Compact Flash wireless
card, and an Ethernet adapter. Typical applications include connecting a
desktop PC to a wireless network, and connecting Ethernet-capable devices
such as video game systems to Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN.)
Using the DWL-810 allows flexibility in the placement of network devices.
Simply connect the DWL-810 to the Ethernet port (RJ-45) of a network
device, such as a network storage device, Internet camera, network printer,
network scanner, video game system, or other network device. Computers
with installed wireless network adapters (NIC cards) will then be able to
access the network device wirelessly.
In Ad-Hoc mode, there is no configuration required. For example, install the
DWL-810 into a network device (using Ad-Hoc mode), such as a web
camera. The camera will automatically communicate with a wireless
adapter-equipped (DWL-650) laptop that is also set to Ad-Hoc mode.
This manual provides a quick introduction to wireless technology and its
application as it relates to networking. Please take a moment to read
through this manual and get acquainted with wireless technology.

Wireless Basics
With the DWL-810 you can access many LAN (Local Area Network) devices
wirelessly. Simply plug the DWL-810 into the Ethernet port of a network
device (such as a printer or web camera,) in Ad-Hoc mode, for an immediate
wireless connection with a wireless network adapter equipped device.
If you are planning a larger wireless network, D-Link can supply most of your
wireless local area network needs. In this section, we discuss typical
wireless local area networks (WLANs) and their components. Much of the
advice given here may be helpful in setting up the DWL-810. It may also
give you some ideas, if you plan to expand your wireless network.
D-Link Air wireless products are based on industry standards to provide
easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your
home, business or wherever a wireless network is available. Strictly adhering
to the IEEE standard, the D-Link Air family of wireless products will allow you
to access the data you want, when and where you want it. No longer will you
be limited to one location or forced to run new wiring through your home or
office. 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 with the absence of cabling and other
fixed infrastructure has 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. For most users, there is no
noticeable functional difference between a wired Ethernet desktop computer
and a wireless computer equipped with a wireless adapter other than the
added benefit of the ability to roam within a wireless-cell. 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
one device used to provide this link.
Now, without an Access Point, or a wireless LAN, you can access a network
device (such as a network printer, network scanner, web camera or gaming
7
Wireless Basics
device) wirelessly, quickly and easily, with no need for configuration in AdHoc mode, using the DWL-810.
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 install cable through walls
and ceilings.
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 Air Wireless Family of LAN products include:
‹ 2.4GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop computers
(DWL-650)
‹ 2.4GHz Wireless PCI cards used with desktop computers (DWL-520)
‹ Wireless USB Adapter (DWL-120)

Wireless Basics
The DWL-810 is also compatible with the D-Link AirPlus 802.11b family of
products that 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+)
‹ Wireless Access Points (DWL-900AP+)
Standards - Based Technology
The IEEE standard-based technology assures that the D-Link Air Products
are interoperable with existing compatible 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. D-Link Air
products will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to
ensure the greatest speed and range possible with the technology.
Installation Considerations
Designed to go up to 984 feet (300 meters) outdoors and up to 328 feet (100
meters) indoors, the D-Link Air DWL-810 lets you access your network
devices wirelessly from virtually anywhere. Keep in mind, however, that the
number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings or other objects that the
wireless signal must pass thru may limit range. Typical ranges vary
depending on the types of materials and any 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 DWL-810 and your
receiving device (e.g., the DWL-520) 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 DWL-810, Access Points, Residential Gateways,
and computers so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between the DWL-810 and the device with
which it communicates, as well as 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
9
Wireless Basics
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 the DWL-810,
the Access Points, 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 may generate extreme RF noise.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, the DWL-810 transmits and receives
data over the air, eliminating the need for a wired connection.
4.
Getting Started
Right out of the box, in AD-HOC mode (the default setting) and
with its other default settings, the DWL-810 will automatically
connect with other network devices that are also set to AD-HOC.
There are two modes of networking:
Infrastructure – using an Access Point, such as the DWL-1000AP
Ad-Hoc – directly communicating with another network device, without
an Access Point
On the following pages we will show you an example of an Infrastructure
Network and an Ad-Hoc Network.
An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point. The Infrastructure
Network example shown on the following page contains the following D-Link
network devices:
A wireless DHCP Router/Access Point/Print Server A laptop computer with a wireless network adapter A desktop computer with a wireless network adapter A Cable modem -
D-Link Air DI-713P
D-Link AirPlus DWL-650+
D-Link AirPlus DWL-520+
D-Link DCM-200
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol for assigning IP
addresses “automatically.” With a DHCP-capable gateway/router, there is no need to
manually assign an IP address.

Install a wireless network adapter into the laptop computer. In the
example above the DWL-650+ is installed into a laptop computer.
See the Quick Installation Guide included with the product.
Set the wireless configuration for the adapters to Ad-Hoc mode,
set the adapters to the same channel, and assign an IP Address
to each computer on the Ad-Hoc network. (See Box below)
IP Address
When assigning 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.

Web Configuration
No Configuration is needed when you use
the DWL-810 in Ad-Hoc Mode.
Configuration is required only if you will be using the DWL-810 in
Infrastructure mode. If you will be using the DWL-810 in Infrastructure mode
or if you need to configure the DWL-810, please consider the following
before using the Web Configuration:
You will need a JavaScript-enabled web-browser such as the Internet
Explorer 4.0 or higher, or the Netscape Navigator 4.0 or higher.
The computer that you are using for initial configuration must have
an IP Address within the same range as the IP Address of the DWL810. The DWL-810 has a default IP Address of 192.168.0.30 with a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
You will need to assign a Static IP Address to the computer that you are
using to configure the DWL-810, within the IP Address Range of the DWL810. For example, you can assign a Static IP address of 192.168.0.2 with
a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (Please see the Pre-Installation or the
Networking Basics sections in this manual for information on Assigning
a Static IP Address.)
After you have assigned a Static IP Address to the computer you are using

Only for products purchased and delivered within the fifty states of the United States, the District of
Columbia, U.S. Possessions or Protectorates, U.S. Military Installations, or addresses with an APO
or FPO.
Limited Warranty: D-Link warrants that the hardware portion of the D-Link product described below
(“Hardware”) will be free from material defects in workmanship and materials under normal use from the
date of original retail purchase of the product, for the period set forth below (“Warranty Period”), except as

The customer's sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of D-Link and its suppliers under this
Limited Warranty will be, at D-Link’s option, to repair or replace the defective Hardware during the
Warranty Period at no charge to the original owner or to refund the actual purchase price paid. Any repair
or replacement will be rendered by D-Link at an Authorized D-Link Service Office. The replacement
hardware need not be new or have an identical make, model or part. D-Link may, at its option, replace
the defective Hardware or any part thereof with any reconditioned product that D-Link reasonably
determines is substantially equivalent (or superior) in all material respects to the defective Hardware.
Repaired or replacement hardware will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period or
ninety (90) days, whichever is longer, and is subject to the same limitations and exclusions. If a material
defect is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines that it is not practical to repair or replace the
defective Hardware, the actual price paid by the original purchaser for the defective Hardware will be
refunded by D-Link upon return to D-Link of the defective Hardware. All Hardware or part thereof that is
replaced by D-Link, or for which the purchase price is refunded, shall become the property of D-Link upon
replacement or refund.
Limited Software Warranty: D-Link warrants that the software portion of the product (“Software”) will
substantially conform to D-Link’s then current functional specifications for the Software, as set forth in the
applicable documentation, from the date of original retail purchase of the Software for a period of ninety

licensee, and is subject to the terms and conditions of the license granted by D-Link for the Software.
Replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period and is subject
to the same limitations and exclusions. If a material non-conformance is incapable of correction, or if DLink determines in its sole discretion that it is not practical to replace the non-conforming Software, the
price paid by the original licensee for the non-conforming Software will be refunded by D-Link; provided
that the non-conforming Software (and all copies thereof) is first returned to D-Link. The license granted
respecting any Software for which a refund is given automatically terminates.
Non-Applicability of Warranty: The Limited Warranty provided hereunder for Hardware and Software
portions of D-Link's products will not be applied to and does not cover any refurbished product and any
product purchased through the inventory clearance or liquidation sale or other sales in which D-Link, the
sellers, or the liquidators expressly disclaim their warranty obligation pertaining to the product and in that
case, the product is being sold "As-Is" without any warranty whatsoever including, without limitation, the
Limited Warranty as described herein, notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary.
