Wireless Basics

D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to­use 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 cellular 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 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.
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.

Wireless Basics (continued)
People use wireless LAN technology for many different purposes:
Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in any
location within the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions based on real-time information can significantly improve worker efficiency.
Low Implementation Costs – WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks) are
easy to set up, manage, change and relocate. Networks that frequently change, both physically and logically, can benefit from WLANs ease of implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be impractical.
Installation Speed and Simplicity - Installing a wireless LAN system can
be fast and easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings.
Network Expansion - Wireless technology allows the network to go
where wires cannot.
Scalability – Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) can be configured in a
variety of topologies to meet the needs of specific applications or existing infrastructures. Configurations are easily changed and range from peer-to­peer networks suitable for a small number of users to larger infrastructure networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the number of wireless devices deployed.

Wireless Basics (continued)
The DWL-120 is compatible with the D-Link Air 802.11b family of products which include:
2.4GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop
computers (DWL-650)
2.4GHz Wireless PCI cards used with desktop computers
(DWL-520)
Wireless Access Points (DWL-900AP)
Standards-Based Technology
Based on the IEEE 802.11b standard, the DWL-120 is interoperable with existing compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data transfer speeds of up to 11Mbps.

Wireless Basics (continued)
Installation Considerations
The D-Link Air DWL-120 lets you access your network, using a wireless connection, from virtually anywhere. 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 antenna of the DWL-120 in an upright position.
2.
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-120 and
other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link Air Wireless product’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your receiving devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
3. 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! Try to make sure that devices are positioned so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling for better reception.
4. Building Materials make a difference - 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.
5. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

Getting Started

With its default settings, the DWL-120 will connect with other
D-Link Air products, right out of the box.
There are basically two modes of networking:
Infrastructure – using an Access Point, such as the DWL-900AP+.
Ad-Hoc – directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer
communication, using wireless network adapters on each computer, such as two or more DWL-120 wireless network USB adapters.
On the following pages we will show you an example of an Infrastructure Network and an Ad-Hoc Network.
An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or Router. The Infrastructure Network example shown on the following page contains the following D-Link network devices (your existing network may be comprised of other devices):
A wireless Router - D-Link AirPro DI-764
A laptop computer with a wireless adapter -
D-Link AirPlus DWL-650+
A desktop computer with another D-Link Air DWL-120
A Cable modem - D-Link DCM-200

Troubleshooting
2. What variables may cause my wireless products to lose reception?
D-Link products let you access your network from virtually anywhere you want. However, the positioning of the products within your environment will affect the wireless range. Please refer to Installation Considerations in the Wireless Basics section of this manual for further information about the most advanta­geous placement of your D-Link wireless products.
3. Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?
Antenna Orientation- Try different antenna orientations for the DWL-
120. 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 Router, Access Point and Wireless adapter 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.
4. Why can’t I get a wireless connection?
If you have enabled Encryption on the DWL-120, you must also enable encryp­tion on all wireless devices in the network in order to establish a wireless con­nection.
The Encryption settings are: 64 or 128 bit. Make sure that the encryp-
tion bit level is the same on the Router and the DWL-120.
Make sure that the SSID on the Router (if you have one in your network)
and the DWL-120 are exactly the same. If they are not, wireless con­nection will not be established. The default SSID is default.
