Security

Don’t let you next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning

on the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Refer to product manual for detail information on how to set it up.

There are basically two modes of networking:

•

Infrastructure

– All wireless* clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.

•

Ad-Hoc

– Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network

adapters on each computer, such as two or more DCS-920 wireless network Cardbus adapters.

An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect

to the wireless router or access point.

An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless cardbus adapters. All the adapters must be in

Ad-Hoc mode to communicate.

Check your IP address

After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a

DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.

Click on

Start

>

Run

. In the run box type

cmd

and click

OK

.

At the prompt, type

ipconfig

and press

Enter

.

This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and

the default gateway of your adapter.

If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter

installation, security settings, and the settings

on your router. Some firewall software programs

may block a DHCP request on newly installed

adapters.

If you are connecting to a wireless network at a

hotspot (e.g. hotel, coffee shop, airport), please contact an employee or administrator to verify their wireless network

settings.

Statically Assign an IP address

If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps

below:

Step 1

>

Network and Sharing Center

>

Manage

Network Connections

.

Windows XP - Click on

Step 2

Right-click on the

Local Area Connection

which represents your D-Link network adapter and select

Properties

.

Step 3

Highlight

Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

and click

Properties

.

Step 4

Click

Use the following IP address

and enter an IP address that is on the same

subnet as your network or the LAN IP address on your router.

Example: If the router´s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address

192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number

you choose is not in use on the network. Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN

IP address of your router (192.168.0.1).

Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The

Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.

Step 5

Click OK twice to save your settings.
