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:

You get these details from your Internet Service Provider
(ISP). About case sensitivness of username and password
please refer to B.9 Username and Passwords on p.173.

Please refer to the documentation provided by your ISP before
you change the settings for VPI, VCI, MTU or MRU.

Changing these values without need may result in a bad data
transfer rate or no connectivity at all.

Activate the option
(twice) into the appropriate fields.

Please note! Using the ethernet port as Internet access re­stricts the data transfer rate to 100MBit/s for all ports. Con­necting a VDSL modem (data transfer rate: 50MBit/s) leaves
50MBit/s for the 3 other ports. This restriction is not valid for
WLAN connections.

5.2 DNS

The resolving of IP addresses to host names/domains and vice
versa is managed by the DNS. The required information (IP ad-

dresses of at least one DNS server) is normally provided by your
ISP. But the HorstBox is also able to detect the DNS servers
available automatically.

Choose whether to use the Domain Name Service (DNS) and if so,

which server to use.

Note:

Choose the option
to let the HorstBox detect your ISP’s DNS servers automatically.

This option refers to the internet connecting only. It may
influence the settings on the tab

LAN will become unreliable. Domain names can no longer
be resolved into IP addresses.

5.3 Dynamic DNS 95

5.3 Dynamic DNS

DDNS makes your computer accessible from the internet under a
constant host name even if your IP address changes dynamically.

The dynamic change of the IP address occurs regularly after fixed

periods of time and is enforced via a short connection interruption
by your ISP. When getting reconnected, a new IP address is
assigned to your computer by your ISP.

With its integrated DDNS client, the HorstBox automatically trans-

mits the new IP address to the DDNS service.

The usage of DDNS requires a registration at a DNS provider.

5.3.1 Register a DDNS Account

Before you can use DDNS you have to set up an user ac­count at dyndns.org (http://www.dyndns.org) or no-ip.com

(http://www.no-ip.com). Please refer to information provided

by your DDNS provider too.

5.4 Virtual Server

Via the virtual server you can forward the access to specified

ports of your external IP address to a virtual server within your
internal network, e.g. for FTP or POP3 access.

Towards the outside, the HorstBox plays the server part receiving

requests from external users under your public IP address and
routing them to the virtual server.

A computer in your internal network behind NAT or behind a

firewall can thus provide services to the outside as a virtual
server. Single ports or port ranges and protocols (UDP/TCP) can
be specified for this purpose. File sharing or web services like
HTTP, FTP or POP3 are possible. The private IP addresses of
servers within the local network remain protected. If you use a
dynamic public IP address, consider to activate DDNS.(see 5.3

Dynamic DNS on p.95)

You can also use a virtual server to redirect HTTP hacking attacks

to a HTTP server within the DMZ.
