There are basically two modes of networking.

•

Infrastructure

– using a Wireless Router such as the DI-514, or an

Access Point

•

Ad-Hoc

– directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer

communication, using wireless network adapters on each computer,

such as two or more DWL-650 wireless Cardbus adapters.

On the following page we will show you an example of an

Infrastructure

Network

Getting Started

Setting Up an Infrastructure Network

Please remember that

D-Link Air

wireless devices are pre-configured to connect

together, right out of the box, with the default settings.

You will need a broadband Internet access (Cable/DSL)

subscription.

Consult with your Cable/DSL provider for proper installation of the

modem.

Connect the modem to the DI-514 Wireless Broadband Router.

See

the

Quick Installation Guide

included with the router.

If you are including a desktop computer (

Computer 1

) in your

network, you can install the

D-Link DFE-

530TX+

Ethernet NIC

adapter into the desktop computer.

See the

Quick Installation Guide

included with the DFE-530TX+.

Install the drivers for the wireless network adapter (such as the

D-Link

Air

DWL-650

) into the laptop computer.

See the

Quick

Installation Guide

included with the DWL-650.

If you are including a desktop computer wirelessly

(Computer 2),

install

the D-Link

Air

DWL-520

wireless adapter into the desktop

computer.

Using the Configuration Menu

Whenever you want to configure your network or the DI-514, you can access

the Configuration Utility by opening the web-browser and typing in the IP

Address of the DI-514. The DI-514 default IP Address is shown below:

(The IP Address shown in the example above is the default setting. If you have changed the

IP Address of the DI-514 to conform to a network, then input that IP Address in the web

browser, instead of the default IP Address shown.)

Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard page is the first page that appears when logging into the

web-based management interface. The Setup Wizard is a utility used to

quickly configure the DI-514. It will guide you through four quick and basic

steps to help you connect to your ISP. You will be connected to your ISP

(Internet Service Provider) and have Internet access within minutes.
