Long-term cost benefits are greatest in dynamic environments requiring frequent moves, adds, and changes.
Wireless Basics sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible with the technology. Installation Considerations Designed to go up to 1,312 feet (400 meters) outdoors and up to 328 feet (100 meters) indoors, D-Link AirPlus DI-614+ lets you access your network with your laptop computer from virtually anywhere. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings or other objects that the wireless signals must pass thru may limit range.
4. Getting Started Right out of the box, with its default settings, the DI-614+ will automatically connect with other D-Link Air or AirPlus products. 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 AirPlus networking products.
Getting Started Setting Up an Infrastructure Network Please refer to the following sections of this manual for additional information about setting up a network: Networking Basics- learn how to check your IP Address; share printers and files. Using the Configuration Utility- learn the settings you must use on each computer in your network for successful communication.
5. Using the Configuration Menu Whenever you want to configure your network or the DI-614+, you can access the Configuration Utility by opening the web-browser and typing in the IP Address of the DI-614+. The DI-614+ default IP Address is shown below: • • Open the web browser Type in the IP Address of the Access Point http://192.168.0.1 (The IP Address shown in the example above is the default setting.
Home > Wizard Wireless Wireless Settings are settings for the (Access Point) Portion of the Wireless Router. Allow you to change the wireless settings to fit an existing wireless network or to customize your wireless network.
SSID Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name designated for a specific wireless local area network (WLAN). The SSID’s factory default setting is “default”. The SSID can be easily changed to connect to an existing wireless network or to establish a new wireless network. Channel Indicates the channel setting for the DI-614+. By default the channel is set to 6. The Channel can be changed to fit the channel setting for an existing wireless network or to customize the wireless network.
WAN WAN is short for Wide Area Network. The WAN settings can be referred to as the Public settings. All IP information in the WAN settings are public IP addresses which are accessible on the Internet. The WAN settings consist of three options: Dynamic IP Address, Static IP Address, and PPPoE. Select the appropriate option and fill in the information needed to connect to your ISP.
Static IP Address Choose Static IP Address if all WAN IP information is provided to you by your ISP. You will need to enter in the IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, and DNS address(es) provided to you by your ISP. Each IP address entered in the fields must be in the appropriate IP form, which are four IP octets separated by a dot (x.x.x.x). The Router will not accept the IP address if it is not in this format. IP Address: Public IP address provided by your ISP.
PPPoE Please be sure to remove any Client Software program on your computer before you start your configuration of the DI-614+ Router. Choose PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) if your ISP uses PPPoE connection. Your ISP 1492 will provide you with a username and password. This option is typically used for DSL services. Select Dynamic PPPoE to obtain an IP address automatically for your PPPoE connection. Select Static PPPoE to use a static IP address for your PPPoE connection.
Maximum Idle Time, then the connection will be dropped. Either set this to zero or enable Auto-reconnect to disable this feature. MTU: MTU stands for Maximum Transmission Unit. For PPPoE connections, you may need to change the MTU settings in order to work correctly with your ISP. Auto-reconnect: If enabled, the Broadband Router will automatically connect to your ISP after your system is restarted or if the connection is dropped. HOME > LAN LAN is short for Local Area Network.
HOME > DHCP DHCP DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DI-614+ has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP address to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically.” When you turn your computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the DI-614+.
ADVANCED > VIRTUAL SERVER Virtual Server The DI-614+ can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network). The DI-614+ firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the DI-614+ are invisible to the outside world.
The DI-614+ is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular port may be redirected to a different port on the server computer. Each virtual services that are created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List. There are already pre-defined virtual services already in the table. You may use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to use that particular virtual service. Name: The name referencing the virtual service.
Example #2: If you have an FTP server that you wanted Internet users to access by WAN port 2100 and only during the weekends, you would need to enable it as such. FTP server is on LAN computer 192.168.0.30. FTP uses port 21, TCP. Name: FTP Server Private IP: 192.168.0.30 Protocol Type: TCP Private Port: 21 Public Port: 2100 Schedule: From: 01:00AM to 01:00AM, Sat to Sun • All Internet users who want to access this FTP Server must connect to it from port 2100.
difficulties working through NAT (Network Address Translation). Special Applications makes some of these applications work with the DI-614+. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, specify the port normally associated with an application in the "Trigger Port" field, select the protocol type as TCP or UDP, then enter the public ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic.
the specific IP address. IP: The IP address of the LAN computer that will be denied access to the Internet. Port: The single port or port range that will be denied access to the Internet. Schedule: This is the schedule of time when the IP Filter will be enabled. MAC Filters Use MAC (Media Access Control) Filters to allow or deny LAN (Local Area Network) computers by their MAC addresses from accessing the Internet.
Domain Blocking Domain Blocking is used to allow or deny LAN (Local Area Network) computers from accessing specific domains on the Internet. Domain blocking will deny all requests to a specific domain such as http and ftp. It can also allow computers to access specific sites and deny all other sites.
ADVANCED > FIREWALL Firewall Rules is an advance feature used to deny or allow traffic from passing through the Broadband Router. It works in the same way as IP Filters with additional settings. You can create more detailed access rules for the DI-614+. When virtual services are created and enabled, it will also display in Firewall Rules. Firewall Rules contains all network firewall rules pertaining to IP (Internet Protocol).
ADVANCED > DMZ If you have a client PC that cannot run Internet applications properly from behind the DI-614+, then you can set the client up to unrestricted Internet access. It allows a computer to be exposed to the Internet. This feature is useful for gaming purposes. Enter the IP address of the internal computer that will be the DMZ host. Adding a client to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) may expose your local network to a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort.
Remote Management Remote Management allows the DI-614+ to be configured from the Internet by a web browser. A username and password is still required to access the Web-Management interface. In general, only a member of your network can browse the built-in web pages to perform “Administrator” tasks. This feature enables you to perform “Administrator” tasks from the remote (Internet) host. IP Address: Internet IP address of the computer that has access to the Broadband Router.
