Wireless Installation Considerations
The DSM-G600 lets you access your stored data and media files 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:
Wireless Installation Considerations
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DSM-G600 and
1
other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce
your DSM-G600’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.
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from
4
electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products
5
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.

Wireless Security
The DSM-G600 offers 2 types of wireless security - WEP and WPA-PSK.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a method of encrypting data for
wireless communication intended to provide the same level of privacy
as a wired network. To gain access to a WEP network, you must
know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When
using WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of
encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a
longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in
a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII
(American Standard Code for Information Interchange – alphanumeric
characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string
that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to HEX for
use over the network. Four keys can be defined so that you can change
keys easily.
Example:
Using the Configuration Utility
64-bit hexadecimal keys are exactly 10 characters in length.
(12345678FA is a valid string of 10 characters for 64-bit encryption)
128-bit hexadecimal keys are exactly 26 characters in length.
(456FBCDF123400122225271730 is a valid string of 26 characters for
128-bit encryption)
64-bit ASCII keys are exactly 5 characters in length
(DMODE is a valid string of 5 characters for 64-bit encryption)
128-bit ASCII keys are exactly 13 characters in length
(2002HALOSWIN1 is a valid string of 13 characters for 128-bit encryption)
WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access - Pre-Shared Key) is a Wi-Fi
standard that was designed to improve upon the security features of
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).
WPA has Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm
and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys
haven’t been tampered with.
D-Link Systems, Inc.
The key or passphrase is an alpha-numeric password between 8 and
63 characters long. The passphrase can include symbols (!?*&_) and
spaces. Make sure you enter this key exactly the same as on your
access point or wireless router.

Troubleshooting
1. Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?
Antenna Orientation- Try different antenna orientations for the DSM-G600. 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 wireless router or access point
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.
2. Why can’t I get a wireless connection?
Troubleshooting
If you have enabled encryption on the DSM-G600, you must enter the same security
settings as your wireless router or access point in order to establish a wireless
connection.
Make sure that the SSID on the access point or router is exactly the same as on
the DSM-G600. If they are not, wireless connection will not be established.
Move the DSM-G600 and the wireless access point or router into the same room
and then test the wireless connection.
Disable all security settings.
Turn off the DSM-G600 and the wireless router or access point. Turn the wireless
router or access point back on first. Wait about 30 seconds and then turn the
DSM-G600 back on.
Check that the LED indicators are indicating normal activity. If not, check that the
AC power and Ethernet cables are firmly connected.
Check that the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS settings are correctly
entered for the network.

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
· 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 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 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 (90) days (“Software Warranty Period”), provided that the Software
is properly installed on approved hardware and operated 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 D-Link 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 DLink’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 by 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 Warranty 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 nonconforming 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

obligation pertaining to the product. While necessary maintenance or repairs on your Product can be performed by any company,
we recommend that you use only an Authorized D-Link Service Office. Improper or incorrectly performed maintenance or repair
