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. 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 cellular 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:
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 are easy to set up, manage, change and
relocate. Networks that frequently change can benefit from WLANs ease of implementation.
WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be impractical.
Installation and Network Expansion - Installing a WLAN system can be fast
and easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless
technology allows the network to go where wires cannot go - even outside the home or
office.
Scalability – WLANs can be configured in a variety of ways to meet the needs of
specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and range from
peer-to-peer 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.
Inexpensive Solution - Wireless network devices are as competitively priced as
conventional Ethernet network devices.

compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data transfer speeds of up to 11Mbps.
Installation Considerations
The D-Link Air DWL-610 lets you access your network, using a wireless connection,
from virtually anywhere within its operating range. 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:
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-610 andother
1
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.)Pos i t i o n 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 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
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-610, when activated, 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 or Router, such as
n
the DI-614+
Ad-Hoc – directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-
n
peer communication, using wireless network adapters on
each computer, such as two or more DWL-610 wireless
network 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 InfrastructureNetwork 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 AirPlus DI-614+
n
A laptop computer with a wireless adapter -
n
D-Link Air DWL-610
A desktop computer with a wireless adapter -
n
D-Link Air DWL-510
A Cable modem - D-Link DCM-200

Please remember that D-Link Air wireless devices are pre-configured to connect
together, right out of the box, with their default settings.
For a typical wireless setup at home (as shown above), please do the
following:
You will need broadband Internet access (a Cable or DSL-subscriber line into
your home or office)
Consult with your Cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the modem
Connect the Cable or DSL modem to your broadband router (see the QuickInstallation Guide included with your router.)
Install the D-Link Air DWL-510 wireless PCI adapter into an available PCI slot on
your desktop computer.
(See the Quick Installation Guide included with the DWL-510.)
Install the D-Link Air DWL-610 wireless Cardbus adapter into a laptop computer.
(See the Quick Installation Guide included with the DWL-610.)
If you wish, you may connect a computer that is equipped with an Ethernet
network adapter (such as a DFE-530TX+) to the router also.

Setting up a Wireless Ad Hoc Network
Desktop
Install the Wireless PCI adapter(e.g., DWL-510) into the desktop computer.
(See the Quick Installation Guide included with the product for installation
instructions.)
Install the DWL-610 wireless Cardbus adapter into a laptop computer. (See
the Quick Installation Guide included with the product.)
Set the wireless configuration for the adapters to Ad-Hoc mode, set the
adapters to the same channel, and assign an IP Address to each computer
on the Ad-Hoc network. (See Box below)
IP Address
When assigning IP Addresses to the computers on the network, please remember
that the IP Address for each computer must be in the same IP Address rangeas all the computers in the network, and the subnet mask must be exactly the
same for all the computers in the network.
For example: If the first computer is assigned an IP Address of 192.168.0.2 with a
Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, then the second computer can be assigned an IP
Address of 192.168.0.3 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, etc.
IMPORTANT: If computers or other devices are assigned the same IP Address,
one or more of the devices may not be visible on the network.

Domain Name:
Each server has a domain name that uniquely identifies it. That domain name is normally
contained in the Subject CN field of the server certificate. A server domain name ends
with the name of a larger administrative domain, to which the server belongs.
TTLS Identity:
EAP-TTLS has a unique feature that other protocols do not offer. Because it sets up an
encrypted tunnel for your credentials, it is also able to pass your login name through
that tunnel. That means that not only are your credentials secure from eavesdropping,
but your identity is protected as well. Thus, with EAP-TTLS you have two identities: an
inner one and an outer one. The inner identity is your actual user name. Your outer
identity can be completely anonymous. Set your outer identity in the TTLS Identity
field.
Trusted CA List:
The Trusted CA List allows you to configure which authentication servers you trust for
the purpose of logging you into the network.

n
3. The DWL-610 Power and Link lights are not on.
Check to see if the DWL-610 Cardbus adapter is firmly inserted into the
n
Cardbus slot of your laptop.
4. I forgot my Encryption key.
Reset the Access Point to its factory default settings and restore the DWL-
n
610 Wireless Cardbus Adapter to the factory default settings. (The default
settings are listed in the Using the Configuration Utility section in this
manual.)
5. The computer does not recognize the DWL-610 Cardbus Adapter.
Make sure that the DWL-610 Wireless Cardbus Adapter is properly seated
n
in the laptop’s Cardbus slot.
If Windows does not detect the hardware upon insertion of the adapter,
n
make sure to completely remove drivers that were previously loaded. To
remove the drivers, do the following:
40
Page 41
Troubleshooting (continued)
A. Under Tools> select Folder Options… > select View > under
Hidden files and folders > select Show hidden files and
folders
B. Uncheck Hide extension for known file types > click on
Apply
C. Search for the files DWL650.INF and DWL650.SYS. Remove
these files from the INF and SYSTEM32 (DRIVERS) folders in
the Windows directory. Note: Windows XP and Windows 2000
will rename .inf files that have not received WHQL certification
into oem.inf files (e.g., oem1.inf.)
6. The computer with the DWL-610 installed is unable to connect to
the wireless network and/or the Internet.
Check that the LED indicators for the broadband modem are indicating
n
normal activity. If not, there may be a problem with the broadband connection.
Check that the LED indicators on the wireless router are functioning properly.
n
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
n
correctly entered for the network
In Infrastructure mode, make sure the same Service Set Identifier (SSID)
n
is specified on the settings for the wireless clients and access points. The
SSID factory default setting for the D-LinkAir and AirPlus products is default.
(Double-click on the WLAN icon in the taskbar. The Link Info screen will
display the SSID setting.)
In Ad-Hoc mode, both wireless clients will need to have the same SSID.
n
Please note that it might be necessary to set up one client to establish a
BSS (Basic Service Set) and wait briefly before setting up other clients.
This prevents several clients from trying to establish a BSS at the same
time, which can result in multiple singular BSSs being established, rather
than a single BSS with multiple clients associated to it.
41
Page 42
Troubleshooting (continued)
Check that the Network Connection for the wireless client is configured
n
properly. Select AP (Infrastructure) when connecting to an access point
and select Ad-Hoc mode when connecting without an access point. Double-
click on the WLAN icon in the taskbar > click on Configuration to change
the settings for the wireless adapter.
n
If Security is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption keys are
entered on both the DWL-610 and the access point. Double-click on the
WLAN icon in the taskbar > click Encryption. Check to see that the key
selected is set to the same key as other devices on the network.
7. How can I troubleshoot distance issues using the DWL-610.
Move the DWL-610 and Access Point or Wireless router into the same
n
room and then test the wireless connection.
Change the channel of the Access Point.
n
n
Move devices within the line of sight
