2. Introduction

The D-Link Air DWL-510 Wireless Cardbus Adapter is an 802.11b wireless

adapter that supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in

public places.

The DWL-510 is compatible with existing 802.11b devices such as the D-

Link Air and AirPlus family of products including the DWL-650 Wireless

Cardbus Adapters, the DI-614+ Wireless Router, DWL-900AP+ Wireless

Access Point and the DWL-120 Wireless USB Adapter.

The DWL-510 is an ideal way to connect your computer to a Wireless Local

Area Network (WLAN.) After completing the steps outlined in the Quick

Installation Guide (included in the package) you will have the ability to

share information and resources, such as files and printers, and take full

advantage of a “connected” environment for work or play!

The DWL-510 includes software drivers for the most popular Microsoft

Windows operating systems (Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Me,

Windows 98SE) and can be integrated into a larger network, running, in

either Ad Hoc mode (without an Access Point) or Infrastructure mode (with

an Access Point.) Please take a look at our Getting Started section in this

manual to see examples of typical network setups using the DWL-510 in

both Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc modes.

This manual provides a quick introduction to wireless technology and its

application as it relates to networking. Take a moment to read through this

manual and get acquainted with wireless technology.

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. Strictly adhering to the

IEEE 802.11b and other standards, the D-Link wireless products will allow

you to access the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be

able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.

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

transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. Wireless

LANs 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.

Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices

to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to use servers, printers or an

Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Access

Point (AP) is a device used to provide this link.

People use wireless LAN 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 (Wireless Local Area Networks) 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 Speed and Simplicity - Installing a wireless LAN system can

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

ceilings.

Network Expansion - Wireless technology allows the network to go where

wires cannot.

Scalability - Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) can be configured in a

variety of topologies to meet the needs of specific applications or

existing infrastructures. 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 DWL-510 is compatible with the D-Link Air and AirPlus 802.11b family of

products which include:

 2.4GHz Wireless Cardbus used with laptop computers (DWL-650)

 Wireless Routers (DI-614+, DI-714P+)

 Wireless Access Points (DWL-900AP, DWL-900AP+)

Standards - Based Technology

Based on the 802.11b standard, the DWL-510 is also interoperable with

existing compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data transfer speeds of

up to 11Mbps.

Installation Considerations

The D-Link Air DWL-510 lets you access a wireless network with your

computer from virtually anywhere. Keep in mind, however, that the number,

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

signal must pass thru may limit 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 range is to follow these basic guidelines:

1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-510 and other

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

Link Air Wireless product’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position

your receiving devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is

minimized.

2. 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! Try to make sure that devices are positioned so that the signal will

travel straight through a wall or ceiling for better reception.

Wireless Basics

3. Building Materials make a difference - 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 and not other materials.

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

devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

4. Getting Started

There are basically two modes of networking:

Infrastructure – using an Access Point, such as the DWL-6000AP

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-510 PCI 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. The Infrastructure

Network example shown on the following page contains the following D-Link

network devices:

A wireless Broadband Router – i.e., D-Link AirPlus DI-614+

A computer with a wireless network adapter –

i.e., D-Link Air DWL-510

A desktop computer with an Ethernet adapter – i.e., (D-Link DFE-530TX+)

A Cable modem – i.e., D-Link DCM-200

Please refer to the following sections of this manual for additional information

about setting up a network:

Networking Basics- learn how to check and assign your IP Address; share

printers and files.

Using the Configuration Utility- learn the settings for the DWL-510, using

the Configuration Program Utility.

Troubleshooting – learn how to check for common installation issues and

other tips for troubleshooting.

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol

for assigning IP addresses “automatically.” With a DHCP-capable

gateway/router, there is no need to manually assign an IP address.

With its default settings, the DWL-510, when activated,

will automatically connect with other D-Link Air

or AirPlus products, right out of the box.
