Introduction
Introduction
At up to fifteen times the speed of previous wireless devices (maximum wireless signal rate of up to 108Mbps* in Super G mode), you can work faster and more efficiently, increasing productivity. With the DWL-3200AP, bandwidth-intensive applications like graphics or multimedia will benefit significantly because large files are able to move across the network quickly. The DWL-3200AP is capable of operating in one of 3 different wireless networking modes; access point, WDS (Wireless Distribution System) with AP, or WDS mode. Use less wiring, enjoy increased flexibility, save time and money with PoE (Power over Ethernet). With PoE, the DWL-3200AP shares power and data over the CAT5 cable, making the setup of your network less expensive and more convenient. An ideal solution for quickly creating and extending a wireless local area network (WLAN) in offices or other workplaces, trade shows and special events, the DWL-3200AP provides data transfers at up to 108Mbps in Super G mode when used with other D-Link AirPremier products. (The 802.11g standard is backwards compatible with 802.11b devices.) WPA is offered in two flavors: Enterprise (used for corporations) and Personal (used for home users). WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal is directed at home users who do not have the server based equipment required for user authentication. The method of authentication is similar to WEP because you define a Pre-Shared Key on the wireless router/AP. Once the pre-shared key is confirmed and satisfied on both the client and access point, then access is granted. The encryption method used is referred to as the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which offers per-packet dynamic hashing. It also includes an integrity checking feature which ensures that the packets were not tampered with during wireless transmission. WPA2-Personal is far superior to WPA-Personal, because the encryption of data is upgraded with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead lower actual data throughout rate.
Introduction
WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise is ideal for businesses that have existing security infrastructures in place. Management and security implementation can now be centralized on a server participating on the network. Utilizing 802.1x with a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service) server, a network administrator can define a list of authorized users who can access the wireless LAN. When attempting to access a wireless LAN with WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise configured, the new client will be challenged with a username and password. If the new client is authorized by the administration, and enters the correct username and password, then access is granted. In a scenario where an employee leaves the company, the network administrator can remove the employee from the authorized list and not have to worry about the network being compromised by a former employee. WPA2-Enterprise is far superior to WPA-Enterprise, because the encryption of data is upgraded with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
802.1x: Authentication which is a first line of defense against intrusion. In the authentication process, the Authentication Server verifies the identity of the client attempting to connect to the network. Unfamiliar clients would be denied access. EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is available through the Windows XP operating system. You will need to use the same type of EAP protocol on all devices in your network when using the 802.1x feature.

Wireless Basics
Wireless Basics
D-Link 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. 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 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. People use WLAN 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 are easy to set up, manage, change and relocate. Networks that frequently change can benefit from WLANs ease of implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation 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. The DWL-3200AP saves money by providing multi-functionality, configurable in one of four different modes. 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.
Wireless Basics
Standards-Based Technology
The DWL-3200AP Managed Wireless Access Point utilizes the 802.11b and the 802.11g standards. The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the maximum wireless signal rate of up to 54Mbps* (maximum wireless signal rate of up to 108Mbps* in Super G mode) within the 2.4GHz band, utilizing OFDM technology. This means that in most environments, within the specified range of this device, you will be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG format over your network without noticeable delays. This technology works by transmitting high-speed digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology. OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller sub-signals that are then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions. The D-Link DWL-3200AP will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible. 802.11g offers the most advanced network security features available today, including WPA and WPA2.
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead lower actual data throughout rate.
Wireless Basics
Installation Considerations
The D-Link AirPremier DWL-3200AP 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 depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1 Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-3200AP and other network
devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your DWL-3200APs range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your 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! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3 Building materials can impede the wireless signal - 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. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
This Chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DWL-3200AP Managed 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-3200AP . 1. The computer used to configure the DWL-3200AP cannot access the Configuration menu. Check that the Ethernet LED on the DWL-3200AP 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 3 (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-3200AP. Please see Checking the IP Address in Windows XP in the Networking Basics section of this manual. Note: The IP address of the DWL-3200AP 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-3200AP is responding. Go to Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping 192.168.0.50. A successful ping will show four replies. Note: If you have changed the default IP address, make sure to ping the correct IP address assigned to the DWL-3200AP.

Troubleshooting
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 Local Area Connection icon in the taskbar> select 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.
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-3200AP has an IP address of 192.168.0.50, wireless adapters must have an IP address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x. Each device must have a unique IP address; no two devices may have the same IP address. The subnet mask must be the same for all the computers on the network.) To check the IP address assigned to the wireless adapter, double-click on the Local Area Connection icon in the taskbar > select the Support tab and the IP address will be displayed. Please refer to Checking the IP Address in the Networking Basics section of this manual.) If it is necessary to assign a Static IP Address to the wireless adapter, please refer to the appropriate section in Networking Basics. If you are entering a DNS Server address you must also enter the Default Gateway Address. (Remember that if you have a DHCPcapable router, you will not need to assign a static IP address. See Networking Basics: Assigning a Static IP Address.) D-Link Systems, Inc. 72

Troubleshooting
4. What variables may cause my wireless products to lose reception? D-Link products let you access your network from virtually anywhere you want. However, the positioning of the products within your environment will affect the wireless range. Please refer to Installation Considerations in the Wireless Basics section of this manual for further information about the most advantageous placement of your D-Link wireless products. 5. Why does my wireless connection keep dropping? Antenna Orientation- Try different antenna orientations for the DWL-3200AP. Try to keep the antenna at least 6 inches away from the wall or other objects. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, X-10 equipment or other home security systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection will degrade dramatically or drop altogether. Try changing the channel on your router, access point and wireless adapter to a different channel to avoid interference. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that generate RF noise, like microwaves, monitors, electric motors, etc. 6. Why cant I get a wireless connection? If you have enabled encryption on the DWL-3200AP, you must also enable encryption on all wireless clients in order to establish a wireless connection. Make sure that the SSID on the router and the wireless client are exactly the same. If they are not, wireless connection will not be established. Move the DWL-3200AP and the wireless client into the same room and then test the wireless connection. Disable all security settings. Turn off your DWL-3200AP and the client. Turn the DWL-3200AP back on again, and then turn on the client. Make sure that all devices are set to Infrastructure mode. Check that the LED indicators are indicating normal activity. If not, check that the AC power and Ethernet cables are firmly connected. Check that the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS settings are correctly entered for the network. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, X-10 equipment or other home security systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection will degrade dramatically or drop altogether. Try changing the channel on your DWL-3200AP, and on all the devices in your network to avoid interference. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that generate RF noise, like microwaves, monitors, electric motors, etc.
