DHN-120 Installation Guide and Networking Basics

The D-Link DHN-120 is ideal for the small office or home office
environment. The DHN-120 enables you to add your computer to a network.
After completing the steps in this manual, you will have the ability to share
information and resources - such as files and printers - and take full advantage
of a "connected" environment for work and play!

The DHN-120 comes with drivers for the most popular operating systems and
can be integrated into a larger network. This Quick Starter Guide is designed
to help you install the DHN-120 and connect the computer to a network
running Windows 98 or Windows 2000.

The HomePNA standard allows you to connect computers and devices at
speeds up to 10 Mbps. The DHN-120 is based on the newest HomePNA 2.0
standard. Older Network Cards, based on HomePNA 1.0, support speeds up
to 1 Mbps. The DHN-120 is backwards compatible with HomePNA 1.0
products as well.

This Quick Starter Guide will take you through the steps of planning your
network, installing the network hardware and software, and setting up
Windows properly to use basic networking functions like printer and file
sharing and playing network games. Take a moment to read through this
manual and familiarize yourself with the steps necessary to complete the
installation process. The entire process should take from one to two hours of
your time. But, you should also give yourself some time to play with your
new network!

Box Contents

You should have the following items:

• 1 DHN-120 10 Mbps HomePNA 2.0 Network Adapter

• 1 Phoneline Cable

• 1 USB Cable

• DHN-120 Quick Starter Guide (This Manual)

• DHN-120 Driver CD

Chapter 2 Installing Adapters and Cables

If you plan to set up two computers in the same room, you can use a single
phone jack. Keep in mind that at all times at least one of the cards on your
phoneline network must be plugged into a phone jack. Also keep in mind that
the phone jack must be for an active phone line. The phoneline network cards
depend on the small voltage that it is on your phone lines to function properly.

Installing USB Adapters

USB is the simplest way to install a network adapter. It is a simple matter of
using the included USB cable to connect the DHN-120 to an open USB port
on any PC or laptop you wish to connect. Please make sure that each
computer is off before plugging the unit in. Once you have created your
network, you will be able to hot-plug the DHN-120 at will, but for the
purposes of this manual it is best if you initially install the adapters with your
computers powered off.

Installing Cables

The cable included in the box is 15 feet in length. If you need a longer cable,
they are sold at most electronics stores. If you want to use a phone on the
same phone jack, we recommend that you purchase a splitter for the jack.

If you plan to use 2 or more phone jacks, make sure that they are (1) active
and (2) on the same line (the same phone number). The Home Phoneline
adapters will NOT interfere with your normal phone, analog modem, or DSL
modem but they do require an active phone line to work.

With the power off on your computers, run the first cable from your DHN­120 USB HPNA 2.0 Network Adapter directly to the phone jack. If you have
two available phone jacks on the same line (telephone number) then simply
repeat this step for any other machines you would like to add to your home
phoneline network like the picture below, Figure 1:

Figure 1: Connecting Cables

If you plan to have two computers in the same room and only have one phone
jack, you can "daisy chain" the computers together. Simply run your first
phoneline cable from one of ports on the first DHN-120 to an available, active
phone line. Then run the second cable from the second port of the first DHN­120 to one of the ports on the second DHN-120.

If you have a free port available on the DHN-120, it can be used to plug in a
phone or modem. The DHN-120 won't interfere with your phone, DSL, or
modem signal.

Congratulations: The hardware is ready to be configured into a network.

Chapter 3 Installing Software

You have completed the hardware installation necessary to start operating
your network. But, before you start sending those print jobs to the printer in
the other room or start playing fast paced network games with your family,
you need to tell your computers that they are connected to a network – that is,
you need to install the Networking System Software. This will consist
primarily of installing device drivers for your Network Adapters. Device
drivers help the operating system on your computer to identify and operate
devices such as printers and Network Adapters.

Installing Software under Windows 98

Since the DHN-120 is Plug-and-Play, Windows 98 recognizes that you have
added a Network Adapter and requests that you provide the necessary device
driver. The Windows 98 installation CD will be needed to complete this
installation.

A. Power ON your computer.

B. Windows 98 will detect the new hardware, and will launch the

Add New Hardware Wizard. The wizard will find your new "D­Link DHN-120", as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Add New Hardware Wizard

C. Insert the DHN-120 Drivers CD provided with your kit into your

CD-ROM drive and click "Next >" to continue.

D. In Windows 98, the wizard will ask you, "What do you want

Windows to do?" Select "Search for the best driver for your device
(Recommended)" and click "Next >" to continue, as shown in
Figure 3.

Figure 3: Search for Driver

E. The wizard will now ask you to identify the location to search.

Ensure that "CD-ROM Drive" has a check in Windows 98 and
click "Next >" to continue, as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4: Specify Driver Location

F. The wizard will find the driver on the CD and state its readiness to

install the driver for the "D-Link DHN-120 10Mb Home Phoneline
USB Adapter" Click "Next >" to continue, as shown in Figure 5.

G. The wizard will install the driver and additional networking

software from the Windows 98 CD-ROM. If requested, please
provide the Windows 98 CD-ROM.

Figure 5: Driver Installation

H. For Windows 98, the wizard will display that it has finished

installing the driver. Remove the driver CD from the CD-ROM
drive and click "Finish." Windows will ask to reboot click "Yes"
and let your computer reboot, as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6: Click Finish to complete the installation

Installing Software in Windows 2000

Since the DHN-120 is Plug-and-Play, Windows 2000 will recognize that you
have added a Network Adapter and request that you provide the necessary
device driver. The Windows 2000 installation disks or CD will be needed to
complete this installation.

I. Power ON your computer.

J. Windows 2000 will detect the new hardware, and will launch the

Add New Hardware Wizard. The wizard will find your new "D­Link DHN-120", see Figure 7.

Figure 7: Found New Hardware Wizard

N. To complete the installation, press "Finish", see Figure 11.

Chapter 4 Networking Basics

You may have had some ideas about how to use your new network prior to
installing the DHN-120 – sharing files, printing from any computer on the
network, or accessing the Internet on multiple computers with one
connection. This section will help you get started on those ideas or even give
you some new ones. However, this section is not intended to be a
comprehensive guide to networking, it is just an outline of a few networking
basics.

If you are interested in learning more about networking, we have identified
some Internet resources that may be of interest:

D-Link Systems, Inc.
www.dlink.com
D-Link is one of the largest manufacturers of Ethernet products in the world.

D-Link’s technological expertise and dedication to providing quality products
at a low price makes D-Link a good place to watch for the newest in
networking innovations. Or, you may want to get the newest drivers available
for your Network Adapters.

TCP/IP Protocol

Before you start sharing files and printers, you need to set the IP address for
each of your computers. An IP address is just that, an address. It tells other
computers on the network where your computer is so that they can
communicate. For your first computer you will add a fixed IP address. For
each computer you add to the network, you will need to follow these same
steps, but add a different address.

O. From the Start menu, go to Settings-Control Panel, as shown in

Figure 12.

Figure 12: Start > Settings > Control Panel

P. Double Click the Network icon in the Control Panel, as shown in

Figure 13.

Figure 13: Control Panel

This Window will appear, as shown in Figure 14.

Figure 14: Network

Q. Highlight the line that says "TCP/IP >D-Link DHN-120 10Mb

Home Phoneline USB Adapter" and press the "Properties" button.

R. This will open the TCP/IP properties window. Make sure the "IP

Address" tab is selected and then press the circle next to "Specify
an IP Address". Enter 192.168.0.1 for the IP address, and

255.255.255.0 for the Subnet Mask. After you have done this your
screen should look like this, as shown in Figure 15:

Figure 15: TCP/IP Properties

S. Now press OK, and press OK again. Your system will probably

prompt you to reboot at this point, just answer "Yes". That's it!

For each computer on your network you will need to follow these same steps,
with the exception that you will give each computer its own unique IP
address. So for your second computer enter 192.168.0.2 for the IP address
and 255.255.255.0 for the Subnet Mask. For your third computer set the
address as 192.168.0.3 and so on (192.168.0.4 for the 4th, 192.168.0.5, for the

5th....etc.). It does not matter which computer is which number, just that each

computer has its own unique number starting with 192.168.0.??? and the
same subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, as shown in Figure 16.

Figure 16: Specify an IP Address

Computer Identification

You may need to verify that each computer has a unique name and common
workgroup name.

T. On your Desktop, right-click the icon "Network Neighborhood"

and select "Properties" from the context menu, as shown in Figure

17.

Figure 17: Network Neighborhood

U. Click the "Identification" tab on the top of the dialog box.
V. Type a unique, identifying name for this particular computer in the

"Computer name:" box. This will be the name that other
computers on your network will use to communicate with this
computer. Each computer’s name must be unique on a particular
network or confusion will result. (The computer’s name should be
15 or fewer characters with no spaces.)

W. Type the workgroup name this computer will be a part of in the

"Workgroup:" box. All of the computers on your network should
have an identical Workgroup name.

X. The "Computer Description:" box is optional. You may enter a

description that will help you identify this computer on your
network. Then click "OK".

Y. Repeat this process for each computer on your network to ensure

that they all have a unique "Computer Name" and identical
"Workgroup", as shown in Figure 18.

Figure 18: Network

Sharing Files

With your computers connected together on a network, you may now open
and save files on another computer. You will be able to specify particular
folders or disk drives to "share" and even password protect them. The steps
below will enable you to share specific files and folders with other computers
on your network.

Z. On your Desktop, right-click the icon "Network Neighborhood"

and select "Properties" from the context menu, as shown in Figure

19.

Figure 19: Network Neighborhood

AA. This dialog box is where you will come to configure most of your

computers network settings. It is also available through the
"Network" icon in the Control Panel.

BB. Click the "File and Print Sharing…" button, as shown in Figure

20.

Figure 20: Network

CC. Click to place a check mark next to "I want to be able to give

others access to my files."
DD. Click "OK" on the "File and Print Sharing" dialog box.
EE. Click "OK" on the "Network" dialog box.

FF. Provide the Windows 98 installation CD or diskette(s) if prompted

or direct Windows to the proper location of the installation files.

Reboot if prompted, as shown in Figure 21.

Figure 21: File and Print Sharing

GG. You will now be able to identify a particular folder or disk drive to

share. You may want to share a folder that both you and a

colleague/family member needs to access occasionally. Or, maybe

you want to share a CD-ROM drive so your other computer that

does not have one can read CD’s. Both of these processes are the

same. Only the disk drives and folders that you specifically

identify as shared will be accessible to other computers on your

network.
HH. Find the disk drive or folder you want to share with Windows

Explorer or the "My Computer" icon on your desktop.

II. Right-click on the disk drive or folder icon and select "Sharing…",

as shown in Figure 22.

Figure 22: My Computer

JJ. Select "Shared As:" to set the parameters for sharing this particular

disk drive or folder.
KK. The "Share Name:" box is used to identify the disk drive or folder

you are sharing to other computers on the network. You can give it

any name you wish. However, a specific identification may help as

more resources on your network are shared.
LL. The "Comment:" box is optional. You can use this box to further

describe the disk drive or folder for others on the network.
MM. "Access Type:" allows you to designate how much someone else

on the network can do with this disk drive or folder. "Read-Only"

allow others to only look at or open the files on the disk drive or in

the folder. "Full" allows other to read, write, open, save, copy,

move, and delete files on the disk or in the folder. "Depends on

Password" gives other computers access conditional upon the

password they provide.

NN. "Passwords:" allow you to apply a level of security to your shared

disk drives and folders. Another computer (user) will be required

to enter the password you designate here before accessing the disk

drive or folder. Two passwords are used to give two levels of

security (or access) to others on the network using the "Depends

on Password" setting. Leaving the "Password" boxes empty gives

everyone on the network access to the disk drive or folder.
OO. Click "OK" to continue. You will be prompted to enter the

password(s) you provided for verification. Retype the password(s)

just as you entered them the first time, Figure 23.

Figure 23: Properties

PP. You may now access this disk drive or folder from another

computer on your network. Do so by double-clicking the

"Network Neighborhood" icon on your desktop or inside Windows

Explorer.

QQ. Navigate to the computer with the shared disk drive or folder

(recognized by the "Computer Name" you provided) and double-

click. You should now see the disk drive or folder, double-click. If

you specified a password when sharing this disk drive or folder,

you will be prompter for the password.
RR. You can access a disk drive or folder shared over the network

from most Windows 98 applications. To make this process easier,

Windows allows you to map these disk drives and folders to a

drive letter on another computer. For example, on a computer

where you are accessing a shared folder from another computer,

inside Windows Explorer right-click and select "Map Network

Drive…" You will then be able to assign an available drive letter.

Checking "Reconnect at logon" allows Windows to map this

network drive each time you start your computer, as shown in

Figure 24.

Figure 24: Map Network Drive

Sharing Printers

"Sharing" a printer connected to one computer with other computers on you
network can be very convenient -– allowing you to print from any computer
on the network. The steps below will enable you to print with other
computers on your network.

SS. On your Desktop, right-click the icon "Network Neighborhood"

and select "Properties" from the context menu, Figure 25.

Figure 25: Network Neighborhood

TT. Click the "File and Print Sharing…" button.
UU. Click to place a check mark next to "I want to be able to allow

others to print to my printer(s)."
VV. Click "OK" on the "File and Print Sharing" dialog box.
WW. Click "OK" on the "Network" dialog box.

XX. Provide the Windows 98 installation CD or diskette(s) if prompted

or direct Windows to the proper location of the installation files.

Reboot if prompted, as shown in Figure 26.

Figure 26: File and Print Sharing

YY. You may now share any installed printers connected to this

computer with other computers on your network. From the "Start"

button on the Task Bar select "Setting" and then "Printers", as

shown in Figure 27.

Figure 27: Printers

ZZ. Right-click on the printer you want to share with others on the

network and select "Sharing…"

AAA. Click "Share As:" and provide a "Share Name:" to identify the

printer to other computers on the network. "Comment:" and

"Password:" are optional. Then click "OK", as shown in Figure

28.

Figure 28: Printer Properties

BBB. Shared printers become Network Printers for other computers on

the network. For a computer to access a Network Printer, the

device driver or software for that printer must be installed and

pointed to the proper location of the printer. This is done much the

same way you installed the printer on the computer it is connected

to.

CCC. Go to the computer that you would like to be able to print from

using the network. From the "Start" button on the Task Bar select

"Settings" and then "Printers".
DDD. Double click the "Add Printer" icon.
EEE. The "Add Printer Wizard" will appear. Click "Next >".
FFF. Choose "Network printer" and click "Next >", as shown in Figure

29.

Figure 29: Add Printer Wizard

GGG. Now you will identify the location of the Network Printer. If you

know the name of the computer and the share name of the printer,

you can type it into the "Network path or queue name:" box.

However, it is easier to click the "Browse…" button and navigate

to the location of the printer. Click "OK" when you have selected

the desired printer. Finish the installation by continuing the "Add

Printer Wizard" normally.
HHH. You may now use the Network Printer as if it was connected

directly. Note: the computer that the printer is connected to must

be on to use the printer. If you find this inconvenient, devices

known as Network Print Servers are available from D-Link. The

DP-101 and DP-301 can each support a single printer. The DP-300

and DP-100 will support up to three. A Network Print Server

would allow you to directly connect your printer to your network,

so you wouldn’t have to worry which computer is turned on, as

shown in Figure 30.

Figure 30: Browse for Printer

Playing Network Games

Part of the fun of having a network, is being able to play some of today's
hottest games against friends and family. While a game may be fun when
played in single player mode, or even against competitors across the Internet,
playing someone in the same room across a network rocks!

If you followed the directions in this guide, you should have TCP/IP installed
already. If you don't or are not sure, jump back to the beginning of the

Networking Basics section for a walk through. Some games may require IPX
protocol support as well. To add IPX to each computer follow these steps:

III. From the Start menu, go to Settings-Control Panel, as shown in

Figure 31.

Figure 31: Control Panel

Double Click the Network icon in the Control Panel.
This window will appear, as shown in Figure 32:

Figure 32: Network

Next press the “Add” button.

Figure 33: Select Network Component Type

Choose “Protocol” and press “Add”, as shown in Figure 33

Figure 34: Select Network Protocol

Press “OK”, see Figure 34.
Windows may ask you for your original Windows installation CD and then to

reboot. Once completed, the protocol will be available to your network
adapter. Follow these steps for each computer on your network.

D-Link has included Shareware versions of two very popular network
playable games from Blizzard, Diablo and WarCraft II. To install these
games, place the accompanying D-Link CD into your CD-ROM drive. Allow
the CD to autostart and you will see a window with links for installing these
games and other software included on the CD. You may also browse the CD
using Windows Explorer.

Before installing Diablo or WarCraft II, please select the installation for
Microsoft DirectX 6.0 if it is not already available on your computer. DirectX
is a multimedia enhancement for Windows 95/98.

To play Diablo or WarCraft II with another computer on the network, you
must install the games on both computers. Each user must select "Multi
Player" and then "Local Area Network (IPX)". Follow the instructions above
to make sure that IPX is installed on each computer..

Have fun!
This CD includes Microsoft DirectX 6.0, Diablo and WarCraft II: Tides of

Darkness. Insert the CD in your CD ROM drive, click on Networking Basics
and then click on Playing Network Games. Click on the links and follow the
instructions to install the game of your choice and Microsoft DirectX. 6.0.

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

A network can be simple to install and maintain. However, occasionally
something might go wrong. The best approach to troubleshooting network
problems is to start at the very simplest level and work your way up.

Verify Each Computer’s Identification

If more than one computer on your network has the same "Computer Name",
communications may be negatively affected. Also, each computer must have
the same "Workgroup" name to communicate properly. Use the steps in
Networking Basics to ensure that each computer on your network has a
unique "Computer Name" and an identical "Workgroup".

Verify Network Adapter Installation

If your Network Adapters were not properly installed, including the Network
System Software or device drivers, your network will not function properly.
Use these steps to verify that your Network Adapters are properly installed,
see Figure 35:

JJJ. Double-click the "System" icon in the Control Panel.
KKK. Click the "Device manager" tab on top of the "System Properties"

dialog box.
LLL. Double-click "Network adapters" if you do not see any items

branching out. You should see "D-Link DHN-120 10Mb Home

Phoneline USB Adapter" branching out after double-clicking

"Network adapters."
MMM. If you do not see any items branching out after double-clicking

"Network adapters," your Network Adapter has not been properly

installed. Start at the beginning of the guide and follow all the

steps for this computer.
NNN. If you see any kind of symbol such as a yellow exclamation point

or red "X" over the icon adjacent to "D-Link DHN-120 10Mb

Home Phoneline USB Adapter", your adapter is not installed

properly or may have a problem. Double-click "D-Link DHN-120

10Mb Home Phoneline USB Adapter" to read the explanation of

the problem. This information will be helpful if you require

technical support from D-Link.

Figure 35: System Properties

Verify Cable Connections

Check to see that the computer(s) you are troubleshooting are properly
connected to the either a phone jack or another computer. Also make sure that
if both computers are connected to phone jacks, that the phone line (and
phone number) is the same for both jacks. You may want to plug a phone
into each phone jack to ensure that it is working properly.

Understanding Indicators

Your Network Adapters have indicators or lights that can give you
information about your network traffic and help you determine problems
when troubleshooting.

Your DHN-120’s have three indicators labeled "Link", "Activity", and
"Power" at the front of their top panels. A steady green "LINK" light indicates
a good connection between cards. A flashing green "Activity" light indicates
that the Network Adapter is sending or receiving data. A steady green
"Power" light indicates that the DHN-120 is receiving enough power.

Please note that if the DHN-120 is plugged into a USB hub, or a USB port on
a monitor, that the port must be self-powered. If the "Power" light is not
steady green, you may want to plug the DHN-120 directly to a USB port on
your computer.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, D-Link Systems, Inc. (“D-Link”)
provides this Limited Warranty:

• Only to the person or entity that originally purchased the product from D-Link or its
authorized reseller or distributor, and

• Onl y 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 otherwise stated herein.

• Hardware (excluding power supplies and fans): One (1) year

• Power supplies and fans: One (1) year

• Spare parts and spare kits: Ninety (90) days

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 D­Link at an Authorized D-Link Service Office. The replacement hardware need not be ne w
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 (90) days (“S oftware Warranty Period”),
provided that the Software is properly installed on approved hardware and oper ated as
contemplated in its documentation. D-Link further warrants that, during the Software
Warranty Period, the magnetic media on which D-Link delivers the Software will be free of
physical defects. The customer's sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of D­Link and its suppliers under this Limited Warranty will be, at D-Link’s option, to replace the
non-conforming Software (or defective media) with software that substantially conforms to
D-Link’s functional specifications for the Software or to refund the portion of the actual
purchase price paid that is attributable to the Software. Except as otherwise agreed b y D-

Link in writing, the replacement Software is provided only to the original 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 Warrant y Period
and is subject to the same limitations and exclusions. If a material non-conformance is
incapable of correction, or if D-Link 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.

Submitting A Claim: The customer shall return the product to the original purchase point
based on its return policy. In case the return policy period has expired and the product is
within warranty, the customer shall submit a claim to D-Link as outlined below:

• The customer must submit with the product as part of the claim a written description
of the Hardware defect or Software nonconformance in sufficient detail to allow D­Link to confirm the same, along with proof of purchase of the product (such as a copy

• The customer m ust obtain a Case ID Number from D-Link Technical Support at 1-
877-453-5465, who will attempt to assist the customer in resolving any suspected

obtain a Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) number by completing the RMA form
and entering the assigned Case ID Number at https://rma.dlink.com/

.

• After an RMA number is issued, the defective product must be packaged securely in
the original or other suitable shipping package to ensure that it will not be damaged
in transit, and the RMA number must be prominently marked on the outside of the
package. Do not include any manuals or accessories in the shipping package. D­Link will only replace the defective portion of the product and will not ship back any
accessories.

• The customer is responsible for all in-bound shipping charges to D-Link. No Cash on
Delivery (“COD”) is allowed. Products sent COD will either be rejected by D-Link or

D-Link. The repaired or replaced packages will be shipped to the customer via UPS

compliance with the foregoing requirements, or for which an RMA number is not visible
from the outside of the package. The product owner agrees to pay D-Link’s reasonable
handling and return shipping charges for any product that is not packaged and shipped in
accordance with the foregoing requirements, or that is determined by D-Link not to be
