Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link High-Definition Media Player lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere
within the operating range of your wireless network. 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 D-Link adapter and other network devices to a
minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position
your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. 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! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead
of at an angle) 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 access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through
drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water
(fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that
generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and
home security systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make
sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits
a signal even if the phone in not in use.
Note: For best video quality, a wired connection is recommended.

Organizing Photo Albums
Unlike music files, photos contain little information about their content. Therefore, photos are organized by their filename
and by the folder they are in. Many digital cameras will organize your photos into folders when you connect and unload
them to your PC. Each time you dock or connect, a new folder is created using the current date and time, and all photos
are copied into that folder.
To simplify browsing on your DSM-510, you can create folders on your PC. For instance, create a folder in the My
Pictures directory called Vacation and copy all of your vacation photos into it. Your DSM-510 will show the Vacation folder.
To play a slideshow of the folder, highlight it and press the Play button. To view a list of photos in the folder, highlight it
and press the right arrow button.
You can give your photos meaningful names by renaming the files on the PC. Most digital cameras number photos
sequentially. For example, rename the photo IM001125.jpg to sunset.jpg on your PC. The photo will be displayed as
sunset.jpg on your DSM-510*.
Right-click on the file and select Rename.
If the file extension does not appear as part
of the name displayed when you select
rename, then it is not necessary to enter the
file extension (.jpg) at the end of the filename.
To rename IM001125.jpg to sunset.jpg, type
in sunset and hit Enter on your computer’s
keyboard.
sunset
If the file extension appears as part of the
name when you select rename, then be
sure to include the extension when renaming
the file. To rename IM001125.jpg to sunset.
jpg, type in sunset.jpg and hit Enter on your
computer’s keyboard.
You can create as many folders as you need. Create a folder for the year, then create folders inside for each of the
months, and then folders in each month for special occasions (birthday, vacation, holidays, etc...).
*Folder creation and renaming files must be done on the PC via standard Windows® procedures.

There are various audio editing programs available for download on the Internet.
10. Why do my AVI files fail to play?
The DSM-510 will only support MPEG-4 encoded AVI files. You may need to re-encode your AVI files with a video
encoding software program, such as Nero Recode.
11. I cannot see anything when I turn on my DSM-510 player for the first time.
• Make sure your TV is displaying the appropriate video source. You may need to use the AV Input, Source,
Select, or TV/Video button on your TV or TV remote to change video sources. If you are having trouble
changing the video source, refer to the instructions that came with your TV.
• If you did not connect the player directly to your TV, but are instead passing the signal through your VCR,
make sure your VCR is displaying the appropriate video source. You may need to use the Input or Source
button on your VCR or VCR’s remote control. Some VCRs only pass the signal through when they are
turned off. If you are having trouble displaying the correct video source, refer to the instructions that came
with your VCR.
• Make sure cables are connected to the IN jacks on your TV or VCR, not the OUT jacks.
• The cables you are using to connect your receiver to your TV or other equipment may be damaged or
defective. Try exchanging the cables connected to the receiver with other cables that you know are working
properly.

• The volume can only be adjusted on your digital stereo receiver. The DSM-510 can pass-through the audio
signal to a compatible audio receiver for multi-channel decoding.
14. I can’t find any of my music, photos, or video.
• If using a wired network, verify the Ethernet cable is properly attached to your DSM-510 and to a network
switch, hub or router. Verify that the switch, hub or router is powered on.
• If you are using static IP addresses, verify the IP address and netmask are in the same range as other
addresses on your network. Verify that the address is not already in use by another PC or device.
• Make sure the files you are sharing use a supported file format and encoding scheme.
• Verify the folder is shared in the Viiv Media Libary on your Intel® Viiv™ technology verified PC.
15. I can’t hear any sound when I’m playing music.
• Make sure the audio cables are properly connected.
• If the audio cables are connected to your TV, the TV must be on to hear any music.
• If the audio cables are connected to your stereo, make sure the stereo is on and you have the correct stereo
input source selected. If you are having trouble selecting the correct audio source, refer to the instructions
that came with your stereo.
16. Some of my MP3 and WMA files don’t appear.
• The DSM-510 supports the most common music file formats. However, there are almost an infinite variety
of bit rates and sample rates. If a file does not appear on the receiver, it most likely uses an unsupported
rate.
• The files may be copy protected. To share your files, turn copy protection off when you rip them.
• The following MP3 sample rates are supported: 4, 8, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz.

Wireless Basics
D-Link 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 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 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 infrastructures have proven
to be beneficial for many users.
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.

What is Wireless?
Wireless or WiFi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires. WiFi uses
radio frequency to connect wirelessly, so you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home or office
network.
Why D-Link Wireless?
D-Link is the worldwide leader and award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products.
D-Link delivers the performance you need at a price you can afford. D-Link has all the products you need to build your
network.
How does wireless work?
Wireless works similar to how cordless phones work, through radio signals that transmit data from point A to point B.
But wireless technology has restrictions as to how you can access the network. You must be within the wireless network
range area to be able to connect your computer. There are two different types of wireless networks Wireless Local Area
Network (WLAN), and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN).
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
In a wireless local area network, a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to the network. The access
point has a small antenna attached to it, which allows it to transmit data back and forth over radio signals. With an
indoor access point, the signal can travel up to 300 feet. With an outdoor access point the signal can reach out up to
30 miles to serve places like manufacturing plants, industrial locations, college and high school campuses, airports,
golf courses, and many other outdoor venues.

Where is wireless used?
Wireless technology is expanding everywhere, not just at home or the office. People like the freedom of mobility and
it’s becoming so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. A wireless
connection in a public place is usually called a “hotspot”.
86D-Link DSM-510 User Manual

Appendix A - Wireless Basics
Using a D-Link Cardbus Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to the Internet from remote
locations like: Airports, Hotels, Coffee Shops, Libraries, Restaurants, and Convention Centers.
A wireless network is easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the first time it could be quite a task not knowing where
to start. That’s why we’ve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of setting up a wireless
network.
Tips
Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.
Centralize your router or Access Point
Make sure you place the router/access point in a centralized location within your network for the best performance. Try
to place the router/access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed throughout your home.
If you have a two-story home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal to extend the range.
Eliminate Interference
Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the
router/access point. This would significantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate
on the same frequency.
Security
Don’t let you next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning
on the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Refer to the product manual for detailed information on how to set
security up.
87D-Link DSM-510 User Manual

Appendix A - Wireless Basics
Wireless Modes
There are basically two modes of networking:
• Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.
• Ad-Hoc – Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network
adapters on each computer, such as two or more WNA-1330 wireless network Cardbus adapters.
An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect
to the wireless router or access point.
An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless cardbus adapters. All the adapters must be in
Ad-Hoc mode to communicate.

Check your IP Address
After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a
DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.
Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.
At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the
default gateway of your adapter.
If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation,
security settings, and the settings on your router. Some
firewall software programs may block a DHCP request
on newly installed adapters.
If you are connecting to a wireless network at a hotspot
(e.g. hotel, coffee shop, airport), please contact an
employee or administrator to verify their wireless network
settings.

Statically Assign an IP Address
If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps
below:
Step 1
Windows® XP - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
Windows® 2000 - From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties.
Step 2
Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your D-Link network adapter and select Properties.
Step 3

Step 4
Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or the LAN
IP address on your router.
Example: If the router´s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address
192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number
you choose is not in use on the network. Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN
IP address of your router (192.168.0.1).
Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The
Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.
Step 5
Click OK twice to save your settings.

Convert an Earlier WMV File into WMV9
There are many variations of video files (including WMV files) which may affect playback on the DSM-510. To alleviate this
issue, there are software tools available on the web to check the properties of a video file and to convert an earlier WMV
file into WMV9. If you have Windows® XP or ME, your Windows comes with a tool from Microsoft called “Movie Maker.”
With this tool, you can create and edit video files into Windows Media Video 9 (WMV9) format. Here is an example of
converting a WMV8 file into WMV9.
Step 1: Verify your WMV file codec using a validation tool. In the “Video” field, it tells you the selected video file is a
WMV8 instead of a supported WMV9 by your HD media player. Therefore, we need to convert this file into a WMV9
format in order for you to play it.
This is AVIcodec, which is used to check for an earlier
version of a WMV file.
Step 2: Open “Windows Movie Maker”. Import the video you wish to convert.
