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
using the DI-514.
The
Infrastructure Network

the following D-Link network devices (your existing network may be
comprised of other devices):

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.
See the
Quick Installation Guide
included with the DWL-
520.

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.

SSID
Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name designated for a specific wireless
local area network (WLAN).
The SSID’s factory default setting is “
default
”.
The SSID can be easily changed to connect to an existing wireless network
or to establish a new wireless network.
Channel
Indicates the channel setting for the DI-514. By default the channel is set to
6
. The Channel can be changed to fit the channel setting for an existing
wireless network or to customize the wireless network.
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a wireless security protocol for Wireless
Local Area Networks (WLAN).
WEP provides security by encrypting the
data that is sent over the WLAN.
The DI-514 supports 2 levels of WEP
Encryption: 64-bit encryption and 128-bit encryption. WEP is
disabled
by
default. The WEP setting can be changed to fit an existing wireless network
or to customize your wireless network.
Key Type
The Key Types that are supported by the DI-514 are HEX (Hexadecimal)
and ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange.) The Key
Type can be changed to fit an existing wireless network or to customize your
wireless network.
KEYS
Keys 1-4 allow you to easily change wireless encryption settings to maintain
a secure network.
Simply select the specific key to be used for encrypting
wireless data on the network.
