Installing the DWL-AB650
Installing the software for your new DWL-AB650 Cardbus Adapter
involves two steps. The first is to install the driver for the Cardbus Adapter,
and the second is to install the Configuration Utility.
When the Cardbus Adapter is inserted in a Cardbus slot, Windows will
recognize the card and the following screen will appear:
Insert the Driver CD into your CD-ROM drive, if you have not done so
already. If the Driver CD is not in the CD-ROM drive, a prompt such as
the one below will appear. Click OK.
The installation will continue. The following screen appears to let you
know that the driver installation is continuing.
Installing the Driver
When the driver installation is complete, the screen shown above will
disappear.
Look for the file named “Setup.exe” on the installation CD-Rom. Double-
click on it to start the installation for the configuration utility.
Installing the Configuration Utility
Click Next.
To install to the folder C:\Program Files\D-Link\AirPro Utility. Click
Next. Otherwise click on Browse to choose an alternate location.
Click Next.
Click Next
Or Click
Browse
Click Next
The Setup Status screen will appear and display the progress of the
installation.
A screen alerting you that all backup files have been removed will appear.
This is the next to the last screen to appear in the installation.
After AirPro Utility has been successfully installed, the
InstallShield Wizard will prompt you to restart your computer.
Select Yes, I want to restart my computer now, and click Finish.
After your computer has restarted, the following screen will appear.
Click Next.
Click Next
Select the SSID (the name of an AP) by clicking on it in the Please select
a network name (SSID) to connect dialog box, shown below. Click Next
to put settings into effect.
If the Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) is enabled on the AP you
have selected, the WEP Setting dialog box will become active and allow
you to select the length of the WEP encryption keys as well as allowing
you to enter the WEP encryption keys in the appropriate fields. All four
of these keys must be exactly the same as the WEP encryption keys in
use on the AP. Contact your network administrator if you do not know
what keys are in use by the AP.
There are three distinct modes of operation for WEP on the connection
between an AP and your DWL-AB650 Cardbus Adapter, in terms of
WEP encryption. The first is unencrypted. That is, WEP is disabled on
both the AP and your Cardbus Adapter. The second is the Network
Authentication (Shared Mode). When this box is checked, the AP and
your Cardbus Adapter will verify that the exact same WEP keys are in
use by sending each other encrypted messages. After this authentication,
all data transfer between the AP and your Cardbus Adapter will be
unencrypted. The third is Enable Data encryption. In this mode, all
data exchanged between the AP and your Cardbus Adapter is encrypted.
Here, the Enable Data encryption mode will be selected if you enter
Click on
the SSID of
your AP
Then click
Next
WEP keys and leave the Network Authentication (Shared Mode) click-
box blank.
All of the WEP settings (the four WEP keys and the operating mode)
must be exactly the same as the WEP settings in use on the AP. You can
modify these settings later, if necessary, using the configuration utility,
as explained below in the section titled Connecting to the Wireless
Network below.
A connection attempt between your new DWL-AB650 and the Access
Point (AP) you selected will be made. While the connection attempt is
being made, a red bar will oscillate vertically across the face of the D-
Link AirPro Configuration Utility icon in the task tray.
If a valid connection between your DWL-AB650 and the AP is made, the
D-Link AirPro Configuration Utility icon will show a yellow color −as
illustrated above.

Double-clicking on the D-Link AirPro Configuration Utility in the task
tray will open the main configuation utility. This utility can be used to
verify that your DWL-AB650 Cardbus Adapter is working properly, and
it can be used to change any of the configuation settings for you Cardbus
Card.
When a valid connection is made between your Cardbus Adapter and the
selected AP, a small blue circle appears at the top of the icon to the left of
the SSID (name) of the selected AP under the heading Preferred WLANs.
This indicates that a valid connection (link) has been established between
the selected AP and your Cardbus Adapter.
Note that in the above example, WEP is disabled on both the selected AP
and on the Cardbus Adapter (there is no encryption of the data transferred
between the AP and the Cardbus Adapter). WEP settings can be entered
here, or later, using the configuration utility. For an explanation of WEP
settings, see the section, Connecting to the Wireless Network below.
Configuring WEP as disabled is the easiest way to connect to an AP and
gain access to network resources, but is not secure. For WEP to work, all
of the WEP settings must be exactly the same on the AP as they are on
the Cardbus Adapter.
You have completed the installation of the DWL-AB650.

An additional utility is provided with your DWL-AB650 Cardbus Adapter to
set the card’s country location. Different countries around the world regulate
the frequencies that your DWL-AB650 Cardbus Adapter uses to communicate
with an AP and to transfer data. The Select Country utility allows you to tell
the card which country you are in, and the card will then select the frequencies
appropriate to that country.
It is important to note that the Country settings of your DWL-AB650 must be
the same as the country settings of an AP or another 802.11a or 802.11b
Cardbus Adapter in order for communication to take place.
From the Windows Start button, select Programs, and then D-Link
AirPro, and finally Select Country. The following screen will open:
Select your DWL-AB650 from the Network Card: pull-down menu, if
you have multiple NICs installed in your computer.
Select the appropriate country from the Country: pull-down menu.
Click OK.
The Select Country utiltiy will display the following screen for confirmation
of the change:
