System Requirements for Configuration: „ „ „ „ „ „ „ Ethernet-Based Cable or DSL Modem „ 4 Introduction The D-Link AirPlus G DI-524 802.11g/2.4 Ghz Wireless Router is an 802.11g high- performance, wireless router that supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in public places. Unlike most routers, the DI-524 provides data transfers at up to 54 Mbps (compared to the standard 11 Mbps) when used with other D-Link AirPlus G products. The 802.11g standard is backwards compatible with 802.11b products. This means that you do not need to change your entire network to maintain connectivity. You may sacrifice some of 802.11g’s speed when you mix 802.11b and 802.11g devices, but you will not lose the ability to communicate when you incorporate the 802.11g standard into your 802.11b network. You may choose to slowly change your network by gradually replacing the 802.11b devices with 802.11g devices . In addition to offering faster data transfer speeds when used with other 802.11g products, the DI-524 has the newest, strongest, most advanced security features available today. When used with other 802.11g WPA (WiFi Protected Access) and 802.1x compatible products in a network with a RADIUS server, the security features include: WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access authorizes and identifies users based on a secret key that changes automatically at a regular interval. WPA uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) to change the temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message transmitted over a network.) This insures much greater security than the standard WEP security. (By contrast, the older WEP encryption required the keys to be changed manually.) 802.1x:Authentication is a first line of defense against intrusion. In the Authentication process the server verifies the identity of the client attempting to connect to the network. Unfamiliar clients would be denied access. For home users that will not incorporate a RADIUS server in their network, the security for the DI-524, used in conjunction with other 802.11g products, will still be much stronger than ever before. Utilizing the Pre Shared Key mode of WPA, the DI-524 will obtain a new security key every time it connects to the 802.11g network. You only need to input your encryption information once in the configuration menu. No longer will you have to manually input a new WEP key frequently to ensure security, with the DI-524, you will automatically receive a new key every time you connect, vastly increasing the safety of your communications. 5 Connections All Ethernet Ports (WAN and LAN) are auto MDI/MDIX, meaning you can use either a straight-through or a crossover Ethernet cable. The Auto MDI/ MDIX WAN port is the connection for the Ethernet cable to the Cable or DSL modem. Auto MDI/MDIX LAN ports automatically sense the cable type when connecting to Ethernet-enabled computers. Receptor for the Power Adapter. Pressing the Reset Button restores the router to its original factory default settings. 6 LEDs WLAN LED A solid light indicates that the wireless segment is ready. This LED blinks during wireless data transmission. POWER LED A solid light indicates a proper connection to the power supply. STATUS A blinking light indicates that the DI-524 is ready. WAN LED A solid light indi- cates connection on the WAN port. This LED blinks during data trans- mission. LOCAL NETWORK LED A solid light indicates a connection to an Ethernet-enabled computer on ports 1- 4. This LED blinks during data trans- mission. 7 Features WPA (Wi Fi Protected Access) authorizes and identifies users based on a secret key that changes automatically at a regular interval, for example: 802.1x Authentication in conjunction with the RADIUS server verifies the identity of would be clients. „ „ „ TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), in conjunction with a RADIUS server, changes the temporal key every 10,000 packets, ensuring greater security. Pre Shared Key mode means that the home user, without a RADIUS server, can connect …

26 Using the Configuration Menu Advanced > Filters > Domain Blocking Filters- Domain Blocking- Blocked Domains- Permitted Domains- 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. Select the filter you wish to use; in this case, Domain Blocking was chosen. Disabled- Allow- Deny- Enter the Permitted Domains in this field. Enter the Blocked Domains in this field. Select Disabled to disable Domain Blocking. Allows users to access all domains except Blocked Domains. Denies users access to all domains except Permitted Domains. (continued) 27 Using the Configuration Menu (continued) Advanced > Firewall Firewall Rules is an advanced feature used to deny or allow traffic from passing through the DI-524. It works in the same way as IP Filters with additional settings. You can create more detailed access rules for the DI-524. When virtual services are created and enabled, it will also display in Firewall Rules. Firewall Rules contain all network firewall rules pertaining to IP (Internet Protocol). In the Firewall Rules List at the bottom of the screen, the priorities of the rules are from top (highest priority) to bottom (lowest priority.) Note: The DI-524 MAC Address filtering rules have precedence over the Firewall Rules. Firewall Rules- Enable or disable the Firewall. Name-Enter the name. Action- Allow or Deny. Source- Enter the IP Address range. Schedule- Select Always or enter the Time Range. Destination- Enter the IP Address range, the Protocol, and the Port Range. 28 Advanced > DMZ Using the Configuration Menu (continued) If you have a client PC that cannot run Internet applications properly from behind the DI-524, then you can set the client up for 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. DMZ- Enable or Disable the DMZ. The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) allows a single computer to be exposed to the internet. By default the DMZ is disabled. IP Address- Enter the IP Address of the computer to be in the DMZ. 29 Using the Configuration Menu (continued) Advanced > Performance Preamble Type- Select Short or Long Preamble. The Preamble defines the length of the CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a com- mon technique for detecting data transmission errors) for com- munication between the wireless router and the roaming wire- less network adapters. Auto is the default setting. Note: High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type. Beacon Interval- Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is the default setting and is recommended. RTS Threshold- This value should remain at its default setting of 2432. If inconsis- tent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should be made. Fragmentation- The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes, deter- mines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default setting. DTIM interval- (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 3 is the default setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. Wireless Performance- Displayed in this win- dow are the Wireless Performance fea- tures for the Access Point portion of the DI-524. 30 Using the Configuration Menu (continued) Tools> Admin At this page, the DI-524 administrator can change the system password. There are two accounts that can access the Broadband Router’s Web-Management interface. They are admin and user. Admin has read/write access while user has read-only access. User can only view the settings but cannot make any changes. Remote Management- Remote management allows the DI-524 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- The Internet IP address of the computer that has access to the Broadband Router. If you input an asterisk (*) into this field, then any computer will be able to access the Router. Putting an asterisk (*) into this field would present a security risk and is not recommended. Port- The port number used to access the Broadband Router. Example- http://x.x.x.x:8080 where x.x.x.x is the WAN IP address of the Broadband Router and 8080 is the port used for the Web-Mangement interface. Administrator- Password- admin is the Administrator login name. Enter the password and enter again to confirm. User- Password- user is the User login name. Enter the password and enter again to confirm. 31 Using the Configuration Menu (continued) Tools > Time Time Zone- Select the Time Zone from the pull-down menu. Daylight Saving- To select Daylight Saving time manually, select enabled or dis- abled, and enter a start date and an end date for daylight saving time.

We cover various aspects of the network setup, including the network adapters. Please read the following if you are having problems. Note: If you have changed the default IP Address, make sure to ping the correct IP Address assigned to the DI-524. Note: It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to configure the DI-524 Wireless Broadband Router. 1.The computer used to configure the DI-524 cannot access the Configuration menu. Check that the Ethernet LED on the DI-524 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 DI-524. Please see Checking the IP Address in Windows XP in the Networking Basics section of this manual. Note: The IP Address of the DI-524 is 192.168.0.1. 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 DI-524 is responding. Go to Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping 192.168.0.1. A successful ping will show four replies. „ „ „ „ 55 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. Troubleshooting 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 DI-524 has an IP Address of 192.168.0.1, 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 DHCP-capable router, you will not need to assign a Static IP Address. See Networking Basics: Assigning a Static IP Address.) default „ „ 56 Troubleshooting 3. Check that the drivers for the network adapters are installed properly.

TEST LOCATION: No. 19, Hwa Ya 2nd Rd., Kueishan, Taoyuan, Taiwan, R.O.C. FCC ID: KA2DI524D1 Report No: SA940705L11 2 RF Exposure Measurement (Mobile Device) 1. Introduction In this document, we try to prove the safety of radiation harmfulness to the human body for our product. The limit for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) specified in FCC 1.1310 is followed. The Gain of the antenna used in this product is measured in a Fully Anechoic Chamber (FAC) calibrated for antenna measurement in ADT, and also the maximum total power input to the antenna is measured. Through the Friis transmission formula and the maximum gain of the antenna, we can calculate the distance, away from the product, where the limit of MPE is reached. Although the Friis transmission formula is a far field assumption, the calculated result of that is an over-prediction for near field power density. We will take that as the worst case to specify the safety range. 2. RF Exposure Limit According to FCC 1.1310: The criteria listed in the following table shall be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radio-frequency (RF) radiation as specified in 1.1307(b) LIMITS FOR MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) Frequency Range (MHz) Electric Field Strength (V/m) Magnetic Field Strength (A/m) Power Density (mW/cm 2 ) Average Time (minutes) (A)Limits For Occupational / Control Exposures 300-1500......F/3006 1500-100,000......56 (B)Limits For General Population / Uncontrolled Exposure 300-1500......F/15006 1500-100,000......1.030 F = Frequency in MHz FCC ID: KA2DI524D1 Report No: SA940705L11 3 3. Friis Formula Friis transmission formula : Pd = (Pout*G) / (4*pi*r 2 ) where Pd = power density in mW/cm 2 Pout = output power to antenna in mW G = gain of antenna in linear scale Pi = 3.1416 R = distance between observation point and center of the radiator in cm If we know the maximum Gain of the antenna and the total power input to the antenna, through the calculation, we will know the MPE value at distance 20cm.
