Wireless Basics

D-Link

Air

Plus wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-touse and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or public access wireless networks. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the D-Link

Air

Plus 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.

6

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 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.

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-topeer 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-714P+ is compatible with other

D-Link Air

Plus

802.11b products, which 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+)

Standards-Based Technology

Based on the IEEE

802.11b

standard, the DI-714P+ is interoperable with existing compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data transfer speeds of up to 22Mbps (with the D-Link

Air

Plus 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.

Installation Considerations

The D-Link

Air

Plus DI-714P+ 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-714P+ and your receiving device (e.g., the DWL-650+) to a minimum-each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link

Air

Plus 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

With its default settings, the DI-714P+ will connect with other

D-Link

Air

or

Air

Plus products, right out of the box.

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.

IP ADDRESS

Note: If you are using a DHCP-capable router in your network setup, such as the DI-714P+, 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 function properly on the network.

802.1x-

Encryption Key-

* Dynamic Keying is a technique for changing the WEP Key used between the supplicant

(wireless client) and the access point.

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-714P+, 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 download to enable

802.1x clients on the Microsoft website.)

Troubleshooting

This Chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DI-714P+ Wireless Broadband Router. We cover various aspects of the network setup, including the network adapters. Please read the following if you are having problems.

Note: It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to configure the DI-714P+ Wireless Broadband Router.

1.The computer used to configure the DI-714P+ cannot access

the Configuration menu.

Check that the

Ethernet LED

on the DI-714P+ is

ON

. If the

LED

is not

ON

, check that the cable for the Ethernet connection is securely inserted.

Check that the Ethernet Adapter is working properly. Please see item 3 (

Check that the drivers for the network adapters are installed properly

) in this

Troubleshooting

section to check that the drivers are loaded properly.

Check that the

IP Address

is in the same range and subnet as the DI-714P+. Please see

Checking the IP Address in

Windows XP

in the

Networking Basics

section of this manual.

Note: The IP Address of the DI-714P+ is 192.168.0.1. All the computers on the network must have a unique IP Address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x.

Any computers that have identical IP Addresses will not be visible on the network. They must all have the same subnet mask, e.g., 255.255.255.0

Do a

Ping test

to make sure that the DI-714P+ is responding.

Go to

Start

>

Run

>Type

Command

>Type

ping 192.168.0.1.

A successful ping will show four replies.

Note: If you have changed the default IP

Address, make sure to ping the correct IP Address assigned to the

DI-714P+.

73

Troubleshooting

2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the

Infrastructure mode.

Make sure the wireless client is associated and joined with the correct

Access Point. To check this connection:

Right-click

on the

Local

Area Connection icon

in the taskbar> select

View Available

Wireless Networks

. The

Connect to Wireless Network

screen will appear. Please make sure you have selected the correct available network, as shown in the illustrations below.

default

Check that the

IP Address

assigned to the wireless adapter is within the same

IP Address range

as the access point and gateway.

(Since the

DI-714P+ has an IP Address of 192.168.0.1, wireless adapters must have an IP Address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x. Each device must have a unique IP Address; no two devices may have the same IP

Address. The subnet mask must be the same for all the computers on the network.)

To check the

IP Address

assigned to the wireless adapter,

double-click

on the

Local Area Connection icon

in the taskbar > select the

Support tab

and the

IP Address

will be displayed.

(Please refer to

Checking the IP Address

in the

Networking Basics

section of this manual.)

If it is necessary to assign a

Static IP Address

to the wireless adapter, please refer to the appropriate section in

Networking Basics

.

If you are entering a

DNS Server address

you must also enter the

Default

Gateway Address.

(Remember that if you have a DHCP-capable router, you will not need to assign a Static IP Address. See

Networking

Basics: Assigning a Static IP Address.

)

Troubleshooting

4. What variables may cause my wireless products to lose reception?

D-Link products let you access your network from virtually anywhere you want.

However, the positioning of the products within your environment will affect the wireless range. Please refer to

Installation Considerations

in the

Wireless

Basics

section of this manual for further information about the most advantageous placement of your D-Link wireless products.

5. Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?

Antenna Orientation- Try different antenna orientations for the DI-714P+.

Try to keep the antenna at least 6 inches away from the wall or other objects.

If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, X-10 equipment or other home security systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection will degrade dramatically or drop altogether. Try changing the Channel on your Router, Access Point and Wireless adapter to a different Channel to avoid interference.

Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that generate RF noise, like microwaves, Monitors, electric motors, etc.

6. Why can’t I get a wireless connection?

To establish a wireless connection, while enabling Encryption on the DI-714P+, you must also enable encryption on the wireless client.

For 802.11b, the Encryption settings are: 64, 128, or 256 bit. Make sure that the encryption bit level is the same on the Router and the Wireless

Client.

Make sure that the SSID on the Router and the Wireless Client are exactly the same. If they are not, wireless connection will not be established. Please note that there are two separate SSIDs for 802.11a and 802.11b. The default SSID for both 802.11a and 802.11b is

default

.

77

Troubleshooting

7. Resetting the DI-714P+ to Factory Default Settings

After you have tried other methods for troubleshooting your network, you may choose to

Reset

the DI-714P+ to the factory default settings.

Remember that D-Link

Air

Plus products network together, out of the box, at the factory default settings.

To hard-reset the D-Link

Air

Plus DI-714P+ to Factory Default Settings, please do the following:

Turn off the DI-714P+

Locate the

Reset

button on the back of the DI-714P+

Use a paper clip to press the

Reset

button and power on.

Hold for about 5 seconds (don’t hold too long) and then release. (Or, release when M1 and M2 flash at the same time.)

After you have completed the above steps, the DI-714P+ will be reset to the factory default settings

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 from the date of original retail purchase. If a material defect is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion that it is not practical to repair or replace the defective Hardware, the 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.
