3. Wireless Basics

D-Link

Air

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. D-Link wireless

products will allow you access to the data you want, when and where you

want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking brings.

A WLAN (wireless local area network) is a cellular computer network that

transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. WLANs are

used increasingly in both home and office environments, and public areas

such as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to 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 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.

People use WLAN 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 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 and Network Expansion

- Installing a WLAN system can be

fast and easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and

ceilings. Wireless technology allows the network to go where wires cannot –

even outside the home or office.

Wireless Basics

Inexpensive Solution

- Wireless network devices are as competitively

priced as conventional Ethernet network devices.

Scalability

–WLANs can be configured in a variety of ways to meet the

needs of specific applications and installations. 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 DI-514 is compatible with the following

wireless products (the maximum

data transfer speed for the DI-514 is 11mbps)

Standards - Based Technology

The IEEE standard-based technology assures that the D-Link

Air

Products

are interoperable with existing compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology. This

means you will be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie

in MPEG format over your network without noticeable delays.

The technology works by using multiple frequencies in the 2.4GHz range at

speeds up to 11 Mbps.

D-Link

Air

products will automatically sense the best

possible connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible

with the technology.

Installation Considerations

D-Link

Air

DI-514 lets you access your network, using a wireless connection,

from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however,

that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings or other objects that

the wireless signals must pass thru 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 DI-514 and your

receiving device (e.g., the DWL-650) to a minimum - each wall or ceiling

can reduce your D-Link

Air

Wireless product’s range from 3 to 90 feet (1

to 30 meters.)

Position your receiving devices so that the number of

walls or ceilings is minimized.

2. Be aware of the direct line between routers and computers. 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! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall

or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.

3. Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - 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 whenever possible.

4. Keep your product away (at least 3 to 6 feet or 1 to 2 meters) from

electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
