Introduction

The D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G VDI-624 High-Speed 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 VDI-624 provides data transfers at up to 108 Mbps (compared

to the standard 54 Mbps) when used with other D-Link AirPlus Xtreme 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 VDI-624 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 theAuthentication

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 VDI-624, 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 VDI-624 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 VDI-624,

you will automatically receive a new key every time you connect, vastly increasing the

safety of your communications.

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 WLAN is a cellular 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 wireless LAN 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.

Scalability – 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 larger infrastructure

networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the number

of wireless devices deployed.

Inexpensive Solution - Wireless network devices are as competitively priced as

conventional Ethernet network devices.

Standards-Based Technology

The VDI-624 Wireless Broadband Router utilizes the new 802.11g standard.

The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the

data rate up to 54Mbps 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 VDI-624 is backwards compatible with 802.11b devices. This means that if you have

an existing 802.11b network, the devices in that network will be compatible with 802.11g

devices at speeds of up to 11Mbps in the 2.4GHz range.

Installation Considerations

The D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G VDI-624 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:

Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the VDI-624 and other network

devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link wireless

product’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that

the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

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.

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 extreme RF noise.

Advanced > Virtual Server

The VDI-624 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 (LocalArea Network).

The VDI-624 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN

network so all computers networked with the VDI-624 are invisible to the outside

world. If you wish, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible from the

Internet by enabling Virtual Server. Depending on the requested service, the VDI-624

redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN

network.

The VDI-624 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 service that is created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the

Virtual Servers List. There are pre-defined virtual services already in the table. You

may use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to use that particular

Fragmentation-

Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a

wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is the default setting and

is recommended.

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.

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-

Preamble Type-

(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.

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. Note: High network traffic areas should

use the shorter preamble type.

Choose Enabled to broadcast the SSID across the network.

All devices on a network must share the same SSID (Service

CTS Mode-

that employ the 802.11g standard. Enabling this mode will en-

sure that you maintain the highest connectivity rate, unhampered

by any connection to an 802.11b device.

CTS (Clear To Send) is a function used to minimize collisions

among wireless devices on a wireless local area network (LAN).

CTS will make sure the wireless network is clear before a wire-

less client attempts to send wireless data. Enabling CTS will

add overhead and may lower wireless throughput.

None-

CTS is typically used in a pure 802.11g environment.

If CTS is set to “None” in a mixed mode environment

populated by 802.11b clients, wireless collisions may

occur frequently.

Always- CTS will always be used to make sure the wireless

LAN is clear before sending data.

CTS will monitor the wireless network and automati-

cally decide whether to implement CTS based on

the amount of traffic and collisions that occurs on

the wireless network.

Auto-

Super G is a group of performance enhancement features that

increase end user application throughput in an 802.11g network.

Super G is backwards compatible to standard 802.11g devices.

For top performance, all wirelss devices on the network should

be Super G capable. Select either Disabled, Super G without

Turbo, Super G with DynamicTurbo, or Super G with Static Turbo.

Super G Mode-

Troubleshooting

This Chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and

operation of the VDI-624 Wireless Broadband Router. We cover various aspects of the

network setup, including the network adapters. Please read the following if you are having

problems.

It is recommended that you use an Ethernet Connection to configure the VDI-624

Wireless Broad Band Router.

1.The computer used to configure the VDI-624 cannot access the

Configuration menu.

ꢀ Check that the Ethernet LED on the VDI-624 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

VDI-624. Please see Checking the IP Address in Windows XP in

the Networking Basics section of this manual.

ꢀ

Note: The IP Address of the VDI-624 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 VDI-624 is responding. Go to

Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping 192.168.0.1. Asuccessful

ꢀ

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

VDI-624.

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.

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

VDI-624 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.)

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 VDI-624. 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 secu-

ꢀ

rity systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection will degrade dra-

matically 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 can’t I get a wireless connection?

If you have enabled Encryption on the VDI-624, you must also enable encryption on all

wireless clients in order to establish a wireless connection.

For 802.11g, the Encryption settings are: 64 or 128 bit. Make sure that the

encryption bit level is the same on the Router and the Wireless Client.

ꢀ

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 VDI-624 and the wireless client into the same room and then test the

wireless connection.

ꢀ

Disable all security settings. (WEP, MAC Address Control)

ꢀ

Troubleshooting

6. Why can’t I get a wireless connection? (continued)

Turn off your VDI-624 and the client. Turn the VDI-624 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 cor-

rectly 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 dramati-

cally or drop altogether. Try changing the Channel on your VDI-624, 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.

ꢀ

7. I forgot my encryption key.

Reset the VDI-624 to its factory default settings and restore the other devices on

your network to their default settings. You may do this by pressing the Reset

ꢀ

button on the back of the unit. You will lose the current configuration settings.

8. Resetting the VDI-624 to Factory Default Settings

After you have tried other methods for troubleshooting your network, you may

choose to Reset the VDI-624 to the factory default settings. Remember that D-

Link AirPro products network together, out of the box, at the factory default

settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can´t I access the web based configuration?

When entering the IPAddress of the VDI-624 (192.168.0.1), you are not connecting

to the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-

in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet

to connect to the web-based utility.

To resolve difficulties accessing a web utility, please follow the steps below.

Step 1 Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If

you do not get a solid link light, try using a different cable or connect to a different

port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned off, the link light may not be

on.

What type of cable should I be using?

The following connections require a Crossover Cable:

Computer to Computer

Computer to Uplink Port

Computer to Access Point

Computer to Print Server

Computer/XBOX/PS2 to DWL-810

Computer/XBOX/PS2 to DWL-900AP+

Uplink Port to Uplink Port (hub/switch)

Normal Port to Normal Port (hub/switch)

The following connections require a Straight-through Cable:

Computer to Residential Gateway/Router

Computer to Normal Port (hub/switch)

Access Point to Normal Port (hub/switch)

Print Server to Normal Port (hub/switch)

Uplink Port to Normal Port (hub/switch)

Rule of Thumb:

”If there is a link light, the cable is right.”

What type of cable should I be using? (continued)

What´s the difference between a crossover cable and a straight-through

cable?

The wiring in crossover and straight-through cables are different. The two types

of cable have different purposes for different

LAN configurations. EIA/TIA 568A/568B

define the wiring standards and allow for

two different wiring color codes as

illustrated in the following diagram.

*The wires with colored backgrounds may

have white stripes and may be denoted

that way in diagrams found elsewhere.

How to tell straight-through cable from

a crossover cable:

The main way to tell the difference

between the two cable types is to compare

the wiring order on the ends of the cable. If

the wiring is the same on both sides, it is

straight-through cable. If one side has opposite wiring, it is a crossover cable.

All you need to remember to properly configure the cables is the pinout order of

the two cable ends and the following rules:

A straight-through cable has identical ends

A crossover cable has different ends

It makes no functional difference which standard you follow for straight-through

cable ends, as long as both ends are the same. You can start a crossover cable

with either standard as long as the other end is the other standard. It makes no

functional difference which end is which. The order in which you pin the cable is

important. Using a pattern other than what is specified in the above diagram

could cause connection problems.

When to use a crossover cable and when to use a straight-through cable:

Computer to Computer – Crossover

Computer to an normal port on a Hub/Switch – Straight-through

Computer to an uplink port on a Hub/Switch - Crossover

Hub/Switch uplink port to another Hub/Switch uplink port – Crossover

Hub/Switch uplink port to another Hub/Switch normal port - Straight-through

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

How do I open ports on my router?

To allow traffic from the internet to enter your local network, you will need to open up

ports or the router will block the request.

Step 1 Open your web browser

and enter the IPAddress of

your D-Link router

(192.168.0.1). Enter username

(admin) and your password

(blank by default).

Step 2 Click on the Advanced

on top and then click Virtual

Server on the left side.

Step 3 Check Enabled to

activate entry.

Step 4 Enter a name for your virtual server entry.

Step 5 Next to Private IP, enter the IP Address of the computer on your local

network that you want to allow the incoming service to.

Step 6 Choose Protocol Type - either TCP, UDP, or both. If you are not sure, select

both.

Step 7 Enter the port information next to Private Port and Public Port. The private

and public ports are usually the same. The public port is the port seen from the WAN

side, and the private port is the port being used by the application on the computer

within your local network.

Step 8 Enter the Schedule information.

Step 9 Click Apply and then click Continue.

Note: Make sure DMZ host is disabled. If DMZ is enabled, it will disable all Virtual

Server entries.

Because our routers use NAT (NetworkAddress Translation), you can only open a

specific port to one computer at a time. For example: If you have 2 web servers on

your network, you cannot open port 80 to both computers. You will need to configure

1 of the web servers to use port 81. Now you can open port 80 to the first computer

and then open port 81 to the other computer.

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

What is DMZ?

Demilitarized Zone:

In computer networks, a DMZ (demilitarized zone) is a computer host or small

network inserted as a neutral zone between a company´s private network and the

outside public network. It prevents outside users from getting direct access to a

server that has company data. (The term comes from the geographic buffer zone that

was set up between North Korea and South Korea following the UN police action in

the early 1950s.)ADMZ is an optional and more secure approach to a firewall and

effectively acts as a proxy server as well.

In a typical DMZ configuration for a small company, a separate computer (or host in

network terms) receives requests from users within the private network for access to

Web sites or other companies accessible on the public network. The DMZ host then

initiates sessions for these requests on the public network. However, the DMZ host is

not able to initiate a session back into the private network. It can only forward packets

that have already been requested.

Users of the public network outside the company can access only the DMZ host. The

DMZ may typically also have the company´s Web pages so these could be served to

the outside world. However, the DMZ provides access to no other company data. In

the event that an outside user penetrated the DMZ hosts security, the Web pages

might be corrupted but no other company information would be exposed. D-Link, a

leading maker of routers, is one company that sells products designed for setting up

a DMZ.

How do I configure the DMZ Host?

The DMZ feature allows you to forward all incoming ports to one computer on the local

network. The DMZ, or Demilitarized Zone, will allow the specified computer to be

exposed to the Internet. DMZ is useful when a certain application or game does not

work through the firewall. The computer that is configured for DMZ will be completely

vulnerable on the Internet, so it is suggested that you try opening ports from the

Virtual Server or Firewall settings before using DMZ.

Step 1 Find the IP address of the computer you want to use as the DMZ host.

To find out how to locate the IP Address of the computer in Windows XP/2000/ME/9x

or Macintosh operating systems please refer to Step 4 of the first question in this

section (Frequently Asked Questions).

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

How do I use NetMeeting with my D-Link Router?

Unlike most TCP/IP applications, NetMeeting uses DYNAMIC PORTS instead of

STATIC PORTS. That means that each NetMeeting connection is somewhat different

than the last. For instance, the HTTP web site application uses port 80. NetMeeting

can use any of over 60,000 different ports.

All broadband routers using (only) standard NAT and all internet sharing programs like

Microsoft ICS that use (only) standard NAT will NOT work with NetMeeting or other

H.323 software packages.

The solution is to put the router in DMZ.

Note:Afew hardware manufacturers have taken it on themselves to actually provide

H.323 compatibility. This is not an easy task since the router must search each

incoming packet for signs that it might be a netmeeting packet. This is a whole lot

more work than a router normally does and may actually be a weak point in the

firewall. D-Link is not one of the manufacturers.

“iChat cannot send or receive a file when the Mac OS X firewall is active in its default

state. If you have opened the AIM port, you may be able to receive a file but not send

them.

In its default state, the Mac OS X firewall blocks file transfers using iChat or America

OnlineAIM software. If either the sender or receiver has turned on the Mac OS X firewall,

the transfer may be blocked.

The simplest workaround is to temporarily turn off the firewall in the Sharing preference

pane on both computers. This is required for the sender. However, the receiver may keep

the firewall on if the AIM port is open. To open the AIM port:

Step 1 ChooseApple menu > System Preferences.

Step 2 Choose View > Sharing.

Step 3 Click the Firewall tab.

Step 4 Click New.

Step 5 ChooseAOLIM from the Port Name pop-up menu. The number 5190

should already be filled in for you.

Step 6 Click OK.

If you do not want to turn off the firewall at the sending computer, a different file sharing

service may be used instead of iChat. The types of file sharing available in Mac OS X are

outlined in technical document 106461, "Mac OS X: File Sharing" in the AppleCare Knowl-

edge base online.

Note: If you use a file sharing service when the firewall is turned on, be sure to click the

Firewall tab and select the service you have chosen in the "Allow" list. If you do not do

this, the firewall will also block the file sharing service. “

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

What is NAT?

NAT stands for Network Address Translator. It is proposed and described in RFC-

1631 and is used for solving the IPAddress depletion problem. Basically, each NAT

box has a table consisting of pairs of local IP Addresses and globally unique

addresses, by which the box can “translate” the local IPAddresses to global address

and vice versa. Simply put, it is a method of connecting multiple computers to the

Internet (or any other IP network) using one IPAddress.

D-Link´s broadband routers (ie: DI-604) support NAT. With proper configuration,

multiple users can access the Internet using a single account via the NAT device.
