D-Link Di624 A Manual

							11
Please remember that D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G wireless devices are pre-configured
to connect together, right out of the box, with their default settings.
You will need broadband Internet access (a Cable or DSL-subscriber line into
your home or office)
Consult with your Cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the modem
Connect the Cable or DSL modem to the DI-624 Wireless Broadband Router
(see the printed Quick Installation Guide included with your router.)
If you are connecting a desktop computer to your network, install the D-Link
AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-G520 wireless PCI adapter into an available PCI slot on
your desktop computer. You may also install the DWL-520+, or the DWL-520.
(See the printed Quick Installation Guide included with the network adapter.)
Install the D-Link DWL-G650 wireless Cardbus adapter into a laptop computer.
(See the printed Quick Installation Guide included with the DWL-G650.)

Keys 1-4-Input up to 4 WEP keys; select the one you wish to use.
Key Type-Select HEX or ASCII
WEP Encryption-Select the level of encryption desired: 64-bit, or 128-bit
SSID-Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name designated for a spe-
cific 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.
WEP-Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a wireless security protocol
for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). WEP provides secu-
rity by encrypting the data that is sent over the WLAN. Select
Enabled or Disabled. Disabled is the default setting. (Note: If
you enable encryption on the DI-624 make sure to also enable
encryption on all the wireless clients or wireless connection will
not be established.)
Channel-6 is the default channel. All devices on the network must share
the same channel. (Note: The wireless adapters will automati-
cally scan and match the wireless setting.)

Host Name-The Host Name is optional but may be required by some ISPs.
The default host name is the device name of the Router and may
be changed.
MAC Address-The default MAC Address is set to the WAN’s physical inter-
face MAC address on the Broadband Router. It is not recom-
mended that you change the default MAC address unless re-
quired by your ISP.
Clone
MAC Address-The default MAC address is set to the WAN’s physical interface
MAC address on the Broadband Router. You can use the “Clone
MAC Address” button to copy the MAC address of the Ethernet
Card installed by your ISP and replace the WAN MAC address
with the MAC address of the router. It is not recommended that
you change the default MAC address unless required by your
ISP.
Dynamic
IP Address-Choose Dynamic IP Address to obtain IP Address information
automatically from your ISP. Select this option if your ISP does
not give you any IP numbers to use. This option is commonly
used for Cable modem services.

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 octets separated by a dot
(x.x.x.x). The Router will not accept the IP address if it is not in
this format.

Home > LAN
LAN is short for Local Area Network. This is considered your internal network. These are
the IP settings of the LAN interface for the DI-624. These settings may be referred to as
Private settings. You may change the LAN IP address if needed. The LAN IP address is
private to your internal network and cannot be seen on the Internet.
Auto-reconnect-If enabled, the DI-624 will automatically connect to your ISP af-
ter your system is restarted or if the PPPoE connection is dropped.
MTU-Maximum Transmission Unit-1492 is the default setting-you may
need to change the MTU for optimal performance with your
specific ISP.
Local Domain-This field is optional. Enter in the local domain name.
Subnet Mask-The subnet mask of the LAN interface.
The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
IP Address-The IP address of the LAN interface. The default IP address is:

Home > DHCP
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DI-624 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-624. The
DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool
to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP
address pool.
DHCP Server-Select Enabled or Disabled. The default setting is Enabled.
Starting
IP Address-
The starting IP address for the DHCP server’s IP assignment
Ending
IP Address-
The ending IP address for the DHCP server’s IP assignment
Lease Time-The length of time for the IP lease. Enter the Lease time. The
default setting is one hour

Advanced > Virtual Server
Using the Configuration Menu (continued)
The DI-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 (Local Area Network).
The DI-624 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN
network so all computers networked with the DI-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 DI-624 redirects
the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
The DI-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
virtual service.

Public Port-The port number on the WAN (Wide Area Network) side that will
be used to access the virtual service.
Private Port-The port number of the service used by the Private IP computer
Schedule-The schedule of time when the virtual service will be enabled.
The schedule may be set to Always, which will allow the
particular service to always be enabled. If it is set to Time,
select the time frame for the service to be enabled. If the
system time is outside of the scheduled time, the service will
be disabled.
Virtual Server-Select Enabled or Disabled
