6D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, businessor public access wireless networks. D-Link wireless products will allow youaccess to the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able toenjoy the freedom that wireless networking brings.A WLAN is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data withradio signals instead of wires. WLANs are used increasingly in both home andoffice environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops anduniversities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people towork and communicate more efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence ofcabling and other fixed infrastructure have proven to be beneficial for manyusers.Wireless 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.Wireless BasicsFeaturesLink/Activity LEDPower - Indicates that theDWL-120+ is properlyinstalled in the computer.Link - Blinks when data isbeing transmitted throughthe wireless connection.AntennaUsed to wirelesslyconnect to 802.11bnetworksMini-USB portUsed to connect theDWL-120+ to yourcomputer
7Wireless Basics (continued)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 are easy to set up, manage, changeand relocate. Networks that frequently change can benefit from WLANs easeof implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiringmay be impractical.Installation and Network Expansion - Installing a WLAN system can befast 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 - evenoutside the home or office.Scalability – WLANs can be configured in a variety of topologies to meet theneeds of specific applications and installations. Configurations are easilychanged and range from peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number ofusers to larger infrastructure networks to accommodate hundreds or thousandsof users, depending on the number of wireless devices deployed.Inexpensive Solution - Wireless network devices are as competitivelypriced as conventional Ethernet network devices.Standards-Based TechnologyBased on the IEEE 802.11b standard, the DWL-120+ is interoperable withexisting compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data transfer speeds ofup to 22Mbps when used with other D-Link AirPlus devices.
8Wireless Basics (continued)Installation ConsiderationsThe D-Link AirPlus DWL-120+ lets you access your network, using a wirelessconnection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind,however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or otherobjects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typicalranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radiofrequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wirelessrange is to follow these basic guidelines:1. Keep the antenna of the DWL-120+ in an upright position.Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-120+ and othernetwork devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link wireless product’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position yourdevices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feetthick (.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! Positiondevices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (insteadof at an angle) for better reception.Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electricaldevices or appliances that generate extreme RF noise.3.4.5.2.Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door oraluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position wirelessdevices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passesthrough drywall or open doorways and not other materials.
9Getting Started With its default settings, the DWL-120+ will connect with otherD-Link AirPlus products, right out of the box.A wireless broadband Router-D-Link AirPlus DI-614+A laptop computer with a USB wireless network adapter -D-Link AirPlus DWL-120+A desktop computer with a USB wireless network adapter -D-Link AirPlus DWL-120+A Cable modem -D-Link DCM-201There are basically two modes of networking:Infrastructure – using an Access Point or Router, such as the DI-614+.Ad-Hoc – directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peercommunication, using wireless network adapters on each computer, suchas two or more DWL-120+ wireless USB adapters.On the following pages we will show you an example of an InfrastructureNetwork and an Ad-Hoc Network.An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or Router.
