Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the D-Link AirPluswireless family of products will allow you to securely access the data you want, whenand where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networkingdelivers.A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits andreceives data with radio signals instead of wires. Wireless LANs are used increasinglyin 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 workand communicate more efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling andother fixed infrastructure have proven to be beneficial for many users.Wireless BasicsFlashes once per second to indicate theunit is working properlyLOCALNETWORK(Ports 1-4)A solid light indicates a connection to anEthernet-enabled computer on ports 1-4.

7Wireless BasicsWireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network.Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the sameprotocols as Ethernet adapter cards.Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices tolink to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to use servers, printers, or an Internetconnection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Router is a device usedto provide this link.People use wireless LAN technology for many different purposes:Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in anylocation within the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions basedon real-time information can significantly improve worker efficiency.Low Implementation Costs - WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks) areeasy 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 canbe fast, easy, and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings.Network Expansion - Wireless technology allows the network to go wherewires cannot.Scalability - Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) can be configured in avariety of topologies to meet the needs of specific applications or existinginfrastructure. Configurations are easily changed and range from peer-to-peernetworks suitable for a small number of users to larger infrastructure networksto accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the number ofwireless devices deployed.
8Wireless BasicsThe DI-824VUP is compatible with other D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G 802.11gproducts, which include:♦Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptopcomputers (DWL-G650)♦Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless PCI cards used with desktop computers(DWL-G520)Installation ConsiderationsThe D-Link AirPlus G+ DI-824VUP lets you access your network, using awireless connection, from virtually anywhere. Keep in mind, however, that thenumber, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that thewireless signals must pass through may limit the range. Typical ranges varydepending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noisein your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to followthese basic guidelines:1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DI-824VUP and your receiving device (e.g., the DWL-G650) to a minimum-each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link AirPlus 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.2. Be aware of the direct line between routers and computers. 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.3. 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.4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.Based on the IEEE 802.11g standard, the DI-824VUP is interoperable withexisting compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data transfer speeds ofup to 54Mbps (with the D-Link AirPlus family of wireless devices,) as well asstandard 802.11b technology ( the D-Link Air family of wireless devices), withspeeds of up to 11Mbps.Standards-Based Technology
