Standard DVC-1100 Features
(Or, All the Gory Details You’ll
Ever Need to Make a Wise,
Educated Purchase Decision for
Yourself)
The DVC-1100 comes with an
abundance of exciting features. And,
as I mentioned just a moment ago, all
that “Good Stuff,” can, once again, be
found in Part 2. And like I mentioned
above, since the DVC-1100 is exactly the
same as the DVC-1000, except that it’s
wireless, there’s no sense repeating all
of them here again, right? Right!
The “How To” Part
And, as if that isn’t enough?
The DVC-1100 can be configured using
an easy-to-use Setup Wizard (or the
handy manual) that guides you step
by step through the setup process and
makes it easy to personalize and change
your videoconferencing options. The
graphics spell out the basics very clearly
for us:
1. Connecting the DVC-1100 Vid-
eoPhone
2. Sharing a Broadband Connection
With the DVC-1100 (See Caveat below
for some very important information
concerning this section)
3. Using the Phone-like Remote
Control
4. Connecting to the Internet (us-
ing the DVC-1100 with D-Link Routers,
and others)
Caveat. Just as I pointed out in
Part 2 (i.e., DVC-1000), This criti-
cal information isn’t listed in
the Quick DVC-1100 Installation
Guide, either. It is however, included
the DVC-1100 Manual, but it doesn’t
explain to you clearly exactly “How
to do it?” However, the very first FAQ
listed (<http://support.dlink.com/faq>)
does cover it in good detail with accom-
panying screen shots, but the example is
for the DI-604 Ethernet Broadband
Router (which I have now re-
placed in my P2P network with a
couple of DI-624 Ethernet Broad-
band Routers, but you may not
have either a DI-604 or DI-624?
None-the-less, the FAQ applies to
all, repeat all, Routers). Here is
that all-important FAQ question
and its associated answer:
