Configuring the DCF-660W Wireless Settings

Fig. 3.2

Select the “Configuration” tab (Fig. 3.3). By

default, it will display current wireless settings:

SSID - (Service Set Identifier) is a name that

identifies a wireless network. Access Points and

wireless clients attempting to connect to a specific

WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) must use the

same SSID. The default setting is default. Note:

Specifying an SSID will prevent you from inadvertently

connecting to a different wireless network.

Network Type – Use “Infrastructure” mode if you

will be using a Wireless Router or Access Point in

your network. Use “Ad-hoc”, if you will not be

using an Access Point. Ad-hoc requires the same

channel and the same SSID for wireless devices on

the wireless network. Fig. 3.3

Power Saving Mode – The “Power Save” mode is used to extend battery life.

Note: In “Power Save” mode, the associated Wireless Router or the Access Point must support

Power Saving” for communication to be established.

“

Tx Rate – The default transfer rate of “Auto” which allows the DCF-660W to adjust

to the most optimal transfer rate available. However, the settings can be set at a fixed

ransfer rate.

If any changes are made in this section, select Apply to save changes.

Troubleshooting

The illustration shows a typical wireless setup

for accessing the Internet connection using

the D-Link Air DCF-660W in a PDA.

In most scenarios, a wireless Access Point or

Access Point is used to connect to the wireless

local area network (WLAN) at home, office,

or public areas.

• Q: I cannot connect to the access point or wireless router.

A1: Make sure that the SSID on the DCF-660W CF adapter matches the

SSID on the Wireless Router or Access Point.

A2: Make sure the WEP encryption settings for the DWL-660W CF

adapter matches the Wireless Router or Access Point WEP encryption.

• Q: The DCF-660W link light is not on.

A: Check to see if the DCF-660W CF adapter is firmly inserted into a

type I or II slot in the PDA.

• Q: I am unable to access the Internet using the DWL-650.

A1: Check that the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings

are correctly entered for the network.

A2: Check the connection to the gateway by using the CF utility

software found in the Link section.
