Introduction

The D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-G132 Wireless G USB Adapter is an

802.11b/802.11g high-performance,convenient Plug&PlayUSB2.0solutionthat

brings wireless networking to your laptop or desktop PC.

With a maximum wireless signal rate of up to 54Mbps (108Mbps* in Turbo

mode) you can connect to a wireless network at home, at the office or at any

wirelesshotspot.Nowyoucan stay connected wherever you areandwherever

yougo.

TheDWL-G132 isWi-Fi compliant,meaningthatitcanconnectand interoperate

with other 802.11b or 802.11g Wi-Fi-compliant wireless routers, access points

and adapters. The DWL-G132 connects to any available USB port on a laptop

or desktop Windows -based computer and also includes a USB cradle. With

the optional USB cradle, the DWL-G132 can be positioned virtually anywhere

ata workstationtoachieve thebest availablewirelesssignal reception- whether

that workstation is in your office, on your deck or patio, by the pool, at the local

coffee shop, or in an airport terminal while waiting to board your next flight.

The adapter works with Microsoft Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating

systems to ensure that you’ll be up and running on a wireless network in just a

matter of seconds.

Using its default settings, the DWL-G132 automatically connects to other

D-Link AirPlus Xtreme GTM wireless products as soon as it’s active.

*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data

throughput will vary. Network conditions and evironmental factors lower actual data throughput rate.

TheDWL-G132 hasthenewest, strongestandmost advancedsecurity features

available today. When used with other 802.11 WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

and802.1x compatibleproducts inanetworkwitha RADIUSserver,thesecurity

features include:

WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access which authorizes and identifies users based

on a secret key that changes automatically at regular intervals. WPA

uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) to change the temporal

key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message transmitted

over a network.) This ensures much greater security than the standard

WEP security. (By contrast, the previous WEP encryption

implementations required the keys to be changed manually.)

For home users that will not incorporate a RADIUS server in their network, the

security for the DWL-G132, used in conjunction with other WPA-compatible

802.11 products, will still be much stronger than ever before. Utilizing the

Pre-Shared Key mode of WPA, the DWL-G132 will obtain a new security key

every time it connects to the 802.11 network. You only need to input your

encryption information once in the configuration menu. No longer will you have

to manually input a new WEP key frequently to ensure security. With the

DWL-G132, you will automatically receive a new key every time you connect,

vastly increasing the safety of your communication.

Wireless Basics

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.

D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide

easy-to-useandcompatible high-speedwirelessconnectivity withinyourhome,

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 wireless local area network (WLAN) is a 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 to many users.

People use WLAN technology for many different purposes:

Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in any

locationwithin theoperatingrange oftheWLAN. Managementdecisionsbased

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 can benefit from WLANs ease

ofimplementation.WLANs can operate inlocationswhereinstallation 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 go - even

outside the home or office.

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.

Installation Considerations

The DWL-G132 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 through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary

dependingon thetypesof materialsand backgroundRF(radio frequency)noise

in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow

these basic guidelines:

Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical

devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-G132 and

other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce

your DWL-G132’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your

devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

Be aware of the direct line between network devices.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.

Building materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door

oraluminum studsmay have anegativeeffectonrange.Try toposition

wireless devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the

signalpasses throughdrywalloropendoorwaysandnotothermaterials.

Wireless Basics (continued)

A wireless router - D-Link AirPlus Xtreme GTM DI-624

A laptop computer with a D-Link AirPlus Xtreme GTM DWL-G132

A desktop computer with a D-Link AirPlus Xtreme GTM DWL-G132

A cable modem - D-Link DCM-201

With its default settings, the DWL-G132 will connect with other

D-Link AirPlus Xtreme GTM products, right out of the box.

Getting Started

There are basically two modes of networking:

Infrastructure – using an access point or router, such as the DI-624.

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-G132 Wireless Network USB adapters.

On the following pages we will show you an example of an Infrastructure

Network and an Ad-Hoc Network.

An Infrastructure network contains an access point or router. The

Infrastructure network example shown on the following page contains the

following D-Link network devices (your existing network may be comprised of

other devices):

You will need broadband Internet access (a cable or DSL-subscriber

line into your home or office).

Consult with your cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the

modem.

Connect the cable or DSL modem to your broadband router.

(See the Quick Installation Guide included with your router.)

Install the D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-G132 Wireless USB 2.0

adapter into an available USB port on your desktop computer.

(See the Quick Installation Guide included with the DWL-G132.)

Getting Started (continued)

For a typical wireless setup at home (as shown above), please do the following:

Setting up a Wireless Infrastructure Network

Install the D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-G132 wireless USB 2.0

adapter into an available USB port on your laptop computer.
