This manual provides a quick introduction to wireless technology and its

application as it relates to networking.

Features and Benefits

802.1x Authentication requires EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). 802.1x supported

EAP is available through the Windows XP Operating System. You will need to use the same

type of EAP protocol on all the devices in your network when using the 802.1x feature.

5 operating modes available: Access Point, AP Client and Bridge (Point-to-

Point; Point-to-Multi-point), Wireless Client; Wireless Repeater

Supports 802.1x for wireless user authentication into the network, resulting in

a more secure wireless network than was previously possible.

Dynamic Channel Selection Function automatically selects the fastest and

least populated channel available for the DWL-1000AP+ when it is a part of a

Load Balancing Group of 4 or more Access Points, where the 3 non-overlap-

ping channels have already been selected.

Backup AP Function ensures continued operation of the AP in the event of

any operation failure of the primary AP

Load Balancing Function allows for automatic connection by the client to the

AP with the least traffic and the least number of clients, when several APs are

deployed in one wireless network

Dynamic data rate scaling at 1, 2, 5.5,11Mbps and 22Mbps

Two detachable antennas for diversity functionality as well as adjustable

transmit power to adjust the wireless range

Supports wireless data encryption with 64-bit, 128-bit WEP security (and

256-bit WEP security with D-Link AirPlus Adapters.)

DHCP server capability

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. 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 waysto 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 Basics

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-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.

The DWL-1000AP+ is compatible with the following D-Link AirPro dual-band

wireless network adapters:

2.4GHz multimode Wireless Cardbus Adapter used with laptop

computers (DWL-AB650)

2.4GHz Wireless PCI card used with desktop computers

(DWL-AB520)

The DWL-1000AP+ is also compatible with the following D-Link AirPlus

wireless network adapters:

Standards-Based Technology

The versatile DWL-1000AP+ Wireless Access Point is 802.1x compatible.

The 802.1x standard solves the problem of ensuring the safety of wireless

networks by allowing for an additional layer of security. With two levels of

security, Authentication and Data Encryption, the 802.1x enhanced wireless

network is more inaccessible to intruders than has previously been possible.

Wireless Basics (continued)

The Authentication protocol in 802.1x provides the frontline of defense against

network intrusion. EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is the protocol used

for authentication. Windows XP currently supports EAP. All the clients, access

points, and servers must share the same type of EAP in order to communicate

and ensure that the network is secure.

You can also purchase EAP software to install 802.1x support for the wireless

clients in your network.

The second level of security for the wireless network is WEP data encryption.

Depending on the radius server deployed in your network, you can distribute

the certificate automatically and change Encryption keys in the wireless network.

This network feature will greatly reduce the amount of time needed to ensure

wireless security by automatically changing WEP keys periodically, thus relieving

administrators of the onerous task of manually changing keys on a multitude of

workstations.

Installation Considerations

Keep in mind 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 number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-1000AP+ and

other network 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 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! 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.
