pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending
1.2 Installation Considerations 14
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
HorstBox and other network devices to a minimum.
Each wall or ceiling can reduce the radio range from 1-30
meters (3-90 feet). 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 0,5 meters thick (1.5 feet ), at a 45-degree
angle appears to be almost 1 meter (3 feet) thick. At a 2degree angle it looks over 14 meters (42 feet) 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 can impede the wireless signal.
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. Align the antenna for best reception.
Align and position the antenna until you get best coverage.
Some WLAN devices or access points will help you with this
task. Sometimes fixing the antenna in a higher position
advances the reception.
5. Keep distance to other devices.
Keep your product away (at least 1-2 meters or 3-6 feet)
from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
6. Choose a useful combination of channels.
To avoid disturbances of radio waves, choose a useful combination of radio channels.
Standard 802.11b/g devices may always use 3 channels at
once. It’s most effective to use a combination like 2/5/9, as
the factory settings of most devices will be 6 or 11. Make
sure the distance between the channels is a least 2 to 3
unused channels.
1.3 Standards-Based Technology 15
1.3 Standards-Based Technology
D-Link Wireless products utilize the 802.11b and the 802.11g
standards.
The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b stan-
dard. It increases the data rate up to 54 Mbps within the 2.4GHz
band.
802.11g offers the most advanced network security features available today, including: WPA , TKIP, AES and Pre-Shared Key
mode.
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.
D-Link wireless products will allow you access to the data you
want, when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the
freedom that wireless networking brings.
A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a computer network
that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of
wires. WLANs 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.
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.
People use WLAN technology for many different purposes:

Note:
For an ISDN line connect the NTBA with the port “S0ext”
on the HorstBox. This is
mandatory
! Connect the NTBA
to the wall socket according to your service providers
instructions.
1.4.3 VoIP and Ethernet
The HorstBox provides 4 ethernet ports and one port to connect
to the WAN. You may increase the number of ethernet ports by
connecting a hub or switch. The HorstBox administrates up to
30 different VoIP phones.

Please read chapter 1.2 Installation Considerations on p.13 before
installing the HorstBox.
2.3.1 Preparations
Before configuring the HorstBox prepare the device as described
in this section.
• Install the HorstBox at the desired location.
• Provide for air circulation. Do not cover the HorstBox.
•
Connect the HorstBox to your computer. Use the blue network cable provided. Plug it into one of the blue ports of
the device. Plug the other end into the port of the network
adapter card (NIC) of your computer.
•
Plug the power adaptor plug into the power port of the
HorstBox.
•
Plug the power plug of the power adaptor into a socket. This
will make the HorstBox boot up.
•
Boot up the computer you want to use for configuring the
HorstBox.
All preparations are done now. You can start to configure the
HorstBox after the LED reports readiness of the device. These
LEDs should be “on” by now:
assumed that the computer connected to a LAN port is ready,
too.
Note:
The default IP address of the HorstBox is
Make sure that your network is working in the same segment
(192.168.0.x).
If you plan to integrate the HorstBox into an existing
network, you may want to disable the DHCP server temporarily as the HorstBox provides another DHCP server
as default. Using two DHCP servers uncontrolled in one
network may cause severe problems.

An easy way to configure the HorstBox is to connect a computer
directly and let it get an IP address from the DHCP server of the
HorstBox. Start the HorstBox first, the computer second.
2.3.2 Connect to the HorstBox
The HorstBox can be configured via a WLAN connection or via a
LAN connection using an ethernet cable.
WLAN Connection
Setting up a WLAN requires a WLAN adaptor installed on your
computer, eg. DWL-G630 (PCMCIA), DWL-G122 (USB) or DWLG510 (PCI).
This section describes the setup of a WLAN for Windows XP.
For other operating systems please refer to the documentation
provided. You may find additional information on the web-sites
of the software manufacturer.
The procedure may differ, if the WLAN adaptor comes with its
own setup program. Please refer to the documentation delivered or configure the program to use the Windows configuration
procedure.
