4Introduction* This is the theoretical maximum of the chipset used in the DWL-G120 Wireless USBAdapter. Actual through-put may vary.TMThe D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G120 802.11g (2.4GHz) Wireless USB Adapter isa convenient Plug & Play USB 2.0 solution that brings wireless networking toyour laptop or desktop PC. It provides up to a 128-bit level of WEP security toyour wireless data transfers.The DWL-G120 comes with software drivers for the most popular MicrosoftWindows operating systems and can be integrated into a larger network, runningWindows XP/2000/Me/98SE in either Ad-Hoc mode (without an access pointor router) or Infrastructure mode (with an access point or router). The IEEE802.11g Ethernet standard allows you to connect computers and 802.11gcompatible devices at speeds up to 54Mbps*, dependent upon the distancebetween wireless adapters, the configuration of your working environment, orthe capabilities or limitations of your computer systems.Unlike most network cards, the DWL-G120 provides data transfers at up to 54Mbps when used with other D-Link AirPlus G products. The 802.11g standardis backwards compatible with 802.11b products.

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 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network thattransmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. WLANs areused increasingly in both home and office environments, and public areas suchas airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLANtechnology are helping people to work and communicate more efficiently.Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructurehave 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 sameprotocols as Ethernet adapter cards.Wireless BasicsFeaturesLink/Activity LEDPower - Indicates that theDWL-G120 is properlyinstalled in the computer.Link - Blinks when data isbeing transmitted throughthe wireless connection.Mini-USB 2.0 portUsed to connect theDWL-G120 to yourcomputerAntennaUsed to wirelesslyconnect to 802.11gnetworks

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.

8Standards-Based TechnologyThe DWL-G120 Wireless USB Adapter utilizes the 802.11g standard.The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increasesthe data rate up to 54 Mbps within the 2.4GHz band, utilizing OFDM technology.This means that in most environments, within the specified range of this device,you will be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEGformat over your network without noticeable delays. This technology works bytransmitting high-speed digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (OrthogonalFrequency Division Multiplexing) technology. OFDM works by splitting the radiosignal into multiple smaller sub-signals that are then transmitted simultaneouslyat different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk(interference) in signal transmissions. The D-Link DWL-G120 will automaticallysense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest speed andrange possible.The DWL-G120 is backwards compatible with 802.11b devices. This meansthat if you have an existing 802.11b network, the devices in that network will becompatible with 802.11g devices at speeds up to 11Mbps in the 2.4GHz range.Wireless Basics (continued)

9Installation ConsiderationsThe D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G120 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:Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electricaldevices or appliances that generate RF noise.4Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-G120 andother network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduceyour DWL-G120’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position yourdevices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.1Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5feet 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 awall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.2Building materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal dooror aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to positionwireless devices and computers with wireless adapters so that thesignal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.3Wireless Basics (continued)TM
