4. Getting Started

There are basically two modes of networking:

Infrastructure – using an Access Point, such as the DWL-6000AP

Ad-Hoc – directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer

communication, using wireless network adapters on each

computer, such as two or more DWL-510 PCI adapters.

On the following pages we will show you an example of an Infrastructure

Network and an Ad-Hoc Network.

An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point. The Infrastructure

Network example shown on the following page contains the following D-Link

network devices:

A wireless Broadband Router – i.e., D-Link AirPlus DI-614+

A computer with a wireless network adapter –

i.e., D-Link Air DWL-510

A desktop computer with an Ethernet adapter – i.e., (D-Link DFE-530TX+)

A Cable modem – i.e., D-Link DCM-200

Please refer to the following sections of this manual for additional information

about setting up a network:

Networking Basics- learn how to check and assign your IP Address; share

printers and files.

Using the Configuration Utility- learn the settings for the DWL-510, using

the Configuration Program Utility.

Troubleshooting – learn how to check for common installation issues and

other tips for troubleshooting.

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol

for assigning IP addresses “automatically.” With a DHCP-capable

gateway/router, there is no need to manually assign an IP address.

With its default settings, the DWL-510, when activated,

will automatically connect with other D-Link Air

or AirPlus products, right out of the box.
