What the Access Point Does Not Provide

The D-Link DWL-2210AP is not designed to function as a

gateway

to the Internet.

To connect your wireless LAN (

Administrator’s Computer

Conﬁguration and administration of the D-Link DWL-2210AP is accomplished with

the KickStart utility (which you run from the CD) and through a Web-based user

interface.

The DWL-2210AP must be installed into a DHCP-enabled network in order to use

the KickStart utility for conﬁguration.

The following table describes the minimum

requirements for the administrator’s computer.

Prelaunch Checklist

Required Software

or Component

Description

Ethernet Connection to

the First Access Point

The computer used to conﬁgure the ﬁrst access point with

KickStart must be connected to the access point (either directly

or through a hub) by an Ethernet cable.

For more information on this step, see “Step 2. Connect the

access point to network and power” in

Quick Steps for Setup

and Launch of Your Wireless Network.

After initial conﬁguration and launch of the ﬁrst access points

on your new wireless network, you can make subsequent

conﬁguration changes through the Administration Web pages

using a wireless connection to the “Internal” network. For

wireless connection to the access point, your administration

device will need Wi-Fi capability similar to that of any wireless

client:

• Portable or built-in Wi-Fi client adapter that supports one or

more of the IEEE 802.11 modes in which you plan to run the

access point. (IEEE

802.11b

802.11g

, and

802.11g Turbo

modes are supported.)

• Wireless client software such as Microsoft Windows XP or

Funk Odyssey wireless client conﬁgured to associate with

the D-Link DWL-2210AP.

For more details on Wi-Fi client setup, see “Wireless Client

Computers” in this manual.

The administrator’s computer must have a CD-ROM drive to

Security Settings

Ensure that security is disabled on the wireless client used

to initially conﬁgure the access point.

Web Browser / Operating

System

Conﬁguration and administration of the D-Link

DWL-2210AP is provided through a Web-based user

interface hosted on the access point. We recommend using

one of the following supported Web browsers to access the

access point Administration Web pages:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 or 6.x (with

up-to-date patch level for either major version) on Microsoft

Windows XP or Microsoft Windows 2000

• Netscape Mozilla on Redhat Linux version 2.4

The administration Web browser must have JavaScript

enabled to support the interactive features of the

administration interface. It must also support HTTP uploads

to use the ﬁrmware upgrade feature.

Prelaunch Checklist

You can run the KickStart Wizard on the D-Link CD-ROM

on any Windows laptop or computer that is connected to the

access point either directly or through a switch. It detects

D-Link DWL-2210APs on the network. When used in a

DHCP-enabled network, the wizard steps you through initial

conﬁguration of new access points, and provides a link to the

Administration Web pages where you ﬁnish up the basic setup

process in a step-by-step mode and launch the network.

For more about using the KickStart Wizard, see “Step 3. Run

KickStart Wizard to ﬁnd access points on the network” in

“Quick Steps for Setup and Launch of Your Wireless Network”

in this manual.

Wireless Client Computers

The D-Link DWL-2210AP provides wireless access to any client with a properly

conﬁgured Wi-Fi client adapter for the 802.11b and 802.11g modes in which the access

point is running.

Multiple client operating systems are supported. Clients can be laptops or desktops,

personal digital assistants (PDAs), or any other hand-held, portable or stationary device

equipped with a Wi-Fi adapter and supporting drivers.

In order to connect to the access point, wireless clients need the following software

and hardware.

Required Software

or Component

Description

Wi-Fi Client Adapter

Portable or built-in Wi-Fi client adapter that supports one or more

of the IEEE 802.11 modes in which you plan to run the access

point. (IEEE

802.11b and 802.11g

modes are supported.)

Wi-Fi client adapters vary considerably. The adapter can be a PC

card built in to the client device, a portable PCMCIA or PCI card

(types of

NIC

s), or an external device such as a USB or Ethernet

adapter that you connect to the client by means of a cable.

The access point supports 802.11b/g modes, but you will probably

make a decision during network design phase as to which mode

to use. The fundamental requirement for clients is that they all

have conﬁgured adapters that match the

802.11 mode for which your access point(s) is conﬁgured.

Client software such as Microsoft Windows Supplicant or Funk

Odyssey wireless client conﬁgured to associate with the

D-Link DWL-2210AP.
