D-Link AirPro 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 standard, the D-Link Pro wireless family of products will Air

allow you to securely 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.

The advantages of Wireless LAN are many and varied and include:

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 go.

Reduced Cost-of-Ownership - While the initial investment required for wireless LAN hardware

might be higher than the cost of wired LAN hardware, overall installation expenses and life-cycle

costs will be significantly lower. Long-term cost benefits are greatest in dynamic environments

requiring frequent moves, adds, and changes.

Scalability – Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) can be configured in a variety of topologies 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 full infrastructure networks

of thousands of users that allow roaming over a broad area.

The DWL-6000AP is compatible with the D-Link AirPro 802.11a family of products, which include:

♦

5GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop computers (DWL-A650)

5GHz Wireless PCI Adapters used with desktop computers (DWL-A520)

The DWL-6000AP is also compatible with the D-Link AirPlus 802.11b Wireless Family of LAN

products, which include:

Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop computers (DWL-650+)

For the price of a single IP Address from your Broadband Internet Service provider you can share the

Internet with all the computers on your local network, without sacrificing speed or security, using D-

Link Air networking products.

IP ADDRESS

An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point. The Infrastructure Network example, shown

here, contains the following D-Link network devices:

Please note: If you have a DHCP-capable router, such as the D-Link DI-604 or DI-614+, there is no

need to assign an IP Address.

If you need to assign IP Addresses to the computers on the network, please remember that the IP

Address for each computer must be in the same IP Address range as all the computers in the

network, and the Subnet mask must be exactly the same for all the computers in the network.

For example: If the first computer is assigned an IP Address of 192.168.0.2 with a Subnet Mask o

255.255.255.0, then the second computer can be assigned an IP Address of 192.168.0.3 with a

Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, etc.

IMPORTANT: If computers or other devices are assigned the same IP Address, one or more of the

devices may not be visible on the network.

installation software can be found on the CD (along with this user’s manual). Launch the Setup file for

the Multiple AP Manager and follow the instructions to install the software. The software should be

installed a system connected to the Ethernet and running a Windows OS (Windows XP, 2000, NT 4.0

Me or 98).

Once the Multiple AP Manager is installed, it can be launched from the Start menu:

Start>Programs>D-Link AirPro Multiple AP Manager>AirPro Multiple AP Manager. The AP

Manager window appears.

Click the Discover icon

to locate Access Points

Click on the Discover icon to locate other DWL-6000 Access Points on the network. All DWL-6000

Access Points connected to the Ethernet will appear in the Device List below.

Use the Device List to view a summary of basic information for AirPro Access Points on your network.

To configure an Access Point, highlight to select the device and click on the icon representing the

action you wish perform. The icons for device configuration are used to perform the following tasks:

• Set device IP settings

• Configure device settings

• Upgrade device firmware

• Configure system settings

Configure Access Points

To configure password-enabled DWL-6000 Access Points with the Multiple Access Point Manager you

must first provide the password in the System Settings menu (see below). Click on a single device on

the list or hold the left button down and pull down to select more than a single device. The selected

devices will appear highlighted.

To change the IP settings, click the icon. This lets you change the IP address and subnet

mask of the device. If you are configuring IP settings for multiple devices, the IP settings are

configured for each device in the order they appear in the Device List.

To change device settings click the icon. A new windows appears:

Use the Device Configuration menu to configure the same basic and advanced settings available for

configuration in the web manager, including LAN IP settings. The device settings are presented in

three tabs in the Configuration menu for General, IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b settings.

The buttons along the bottom of the Configuration menu appear with all three tabs. These allow you to

select or unselect all options, apply the settings, open a previously saved device configuration file, or

save the current device settings to a configuration file.

The wireless settings include the same settings that are available in the web manager except for some

of the WLAN partition settings. You can disable connection between the 802.11a and 802.11b

networks with the 11a, 11b Connection option in the General tab (See page14, WLAN Partition).

System Settings

In order to configure an Access Point that is password protected, the correct password must be

configured so the Multiple AP Manager can gain access to the device configuration software.

The Multiple AP Manager uses a single Access

Password. For this reason, it may be easier to set the

same password for each Access Point. Passwords for

Access Points are set using the Tools>Admin menu in

the Web Manager.

The Access Password used by the Multiple AP

Manager functions like a community string used with

SNMP manager software. The AP Manager uses this

password to configure any single device or multiple

access points that have been given the same password.

This way you can configure settings such as SSID and

WEP so that the Access Points are configured

simultaneously. Since many wireless functions require

that the settings be entered exactly the same way for all

devices, you can reduce the likelihood of problems

caused by settings entry error.

Enter the Access Password used for device

configuration and click the OK button.

If you attempt to change configuration settings for a

device that is not using the same password, an error

message will appear in the Action Message field at the

bottom of the Configuration menu.

Configuring Multiple Access Points

If you use a common password for all DWL-6000 Access Points on your network, you may configure

them all at once. This is especially convenient when you are setting up WEP encryption or upgrading

firmware. To configure more than one Access Point, select the devices you want to configure from the

Device List and click on the icon to perform the desired function. Then simply enter the settings as you

would for a single device.

Note: Ctrl Hold the key down and click on individual Access Points from the Device List to add

them to the selected group for configuration. To select Access Points listed consecutively, hold the

Shift key while selecting them.

This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the

DWL-6000AP Wireless Access Point. We cover various aspects of the network setup, including the

network adapters. Please read the following if you are having problems.

Note: It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to configure the DWL-6000AP

Access Point.

1. The computer used to configure the DWL-6000AP cannot access the Configuration menu.

• Check that the Ethernet LED on the DWL-6000AP is ON. If the LED is not ON,

check that the cable for the Ethernet connection is securely inserted.

• Check that the Ethernet Adapter is working properly. Please see item 6 (Check that

the drivers for the network adapters are installed properly) in this

Troubleshooting section to check that the drivers are loaded properly.

• Check that the IP Address is in the same range and subnet as the DWL-6000AP.

Please see Checking the IP Address in Windows XP in the Networking Basics

section of this manual.

Note: The IP Address of the DWL-6000AP is 192.168.0.50. All the computers on the network must

have a unique IP Address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x. Any computers that have identical IP

Addresses will not be visible on the network. They must all have the same subnet mask, e.g.,

255.255.255.0

• Do a Ping test to make sure that the DWL-6000AP is responding. Go to

Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping 192.168.0.50. A successful ping will show

four replies.

2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the Infrastructure mode.

•

• • Make sure the wireless client is associated and joined with the correct Access Point. To check

this connection: Right-click on the in the taskbar> select Local Area Connection icon View

Available Wireless Networks. The Connect to Wireless Network screen will appear. Please

make sure you have selected the correct available network, as shown in the illustrations below.

default

•

• • Check that the IP Address assigned to the wireless adapter is within the same IP Address

range as the access point and gateway. Since the DWL-6000AP has an IP Address of
