performance, wireless router that supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in public places. Unlike most routers, the DI-624M provides data transfers at up to 108 Mbps (compared to the standard 54 Mbps) when used with other D-Link Super G Smart Antenna 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 sacrice some of 802.11gs 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-624M has the newest, strongest, most advanced security features available today. When used with other 802.11g WPA (WiFi Protected Access) compatible products in a network, the security features include:
WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access authorizes and identies 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.) D-Link Systems, Inc. 5 DI-624M Users Manual Features and Benets Features and Benets n Fully compatible with the 802.11g standard to provide a wireless data rate of up to 108Mbps n Backwards compatible with the 802.11b standard to provide a wireless data rate of up to 11Mbps n WPA (Wi Fi Protected Access) authorizes and identies users based on a secret key that changes automatically at a regular interval, for example:
Pre Shared Key mode means that the home user, without a RADIUS server, will obtain a new security key every time the he or she connects to the network, vastly improving the safety of communications on the network n Utilizes OFDM technology (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) n User-friendly conguration and diagnostic utilities n Operates in the 2.4GHz frequency range n Connects multiple computers to a Broadband (Cable or DSL) modem to share the Internet connection n Advanced Firewall features: Supports NAT with VPN pass-through, providing added security, MAC Filtering, IP Filtering, URL Filtering, Domain Blocking, and Scheduling n DHCP server enables all networked computers to automatically receive IP addresses n Web-based interface for Managing and Conguring n Access Control to manage users on the network n Supports special applications that require multiple connections n Equipped with 4 10/100 Ethernet ports, 1 WAN port, Auto MDI/MDIX D-Link Systems, Inc. 6 DI-624M Users Manual Hardware Overview Hardware Overview Connections All Ethernet Ports (WAN and LAN) are auto MDI/MDIX, meaning you can use either a straight-through or a crossover Ethernet cable. Reset Button Pressing the reset button restores the router to its original factory default settings.

D-Link Systems, Inc. 8 DI-624M Users Manual Wireless Basics 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 ofce 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 efciently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other xed infrastructure have proven to be benecial 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 signicantly improve worker efciency. Low Implementation Costs WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change and relocate. Networks that frequently change can benet 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 ofce. Scalability WLANs can be congured in a variety of topologies to meet the needs of specic applications and installations. Congurations 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. D-Link Systems, Inc. 9 DI-624M Users Manual Wireless Basics Standards-Based Technology The DI-624M Super G Smart Antenna Wireless Router utilizes the 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 specied range of this device, you will be able to transfer large les 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 DI-624M 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 Installation Considerations The D-Link DI-624MSuper G Smart Antenna Wireless Router 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:
1 Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DI-624M and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link wireless products range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized. 2 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. 3 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. 4 Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate extreme RF noise. D-Link Systems, Inc. 10 DI-624M Users Manual Getting Started Getting Started Please remember that D-Link Super G Smart Antenna wireless devices are pre-

Note: High network trafc areas should use the shorter preamble type. 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 wireless 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. Auto: CTS will monitor the wireless network and automatically decide whether to implement CTS based on the amount of trafc and collisions that occurs on the wireless network.

When entering the IP Address of the DI-624M (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+

If there is a link light, the cable is right. D-Link Systems, Inc. 73 DI-624M Users Manual Frequently Asked Questions Whats 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 congurations. EIA/TIA 568A/568B dene 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 congure 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 specied in the above diagram could cause connection problems. When to use a crossover cable and when to use a straight-through cable:

If you connect to the Internet with a different internet service provider and want to use the AOL software, you can do that without conguring the routers rewall settings. You need to congure the AOL software to connect using TCP/IP. Go to http://www.aol.com for more specific configuration information of their software. 5 How do I open ports on my router?
To allow trafc 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 IP Address of your D-Link router
(192.168.0.1). Enter username (admin) and your password (blank by default). Step 2: Click on Advanced on top and then click Virtual Server on the left side. D-Link Systems, Inc. 87 DI-624M Users Manual Frequently Asked Questions 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 (Network Address Translation), you can only open a specic 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 congure 1 of the web servers to use port 81. Now you can open port 80 to the rst computer and then open port 81 to the other computer. D-Link Systems, Inc. 88 DI-624M Users Manual Frequently Asked Questions 6 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 companys 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.) A DMZ is an optional and more secure approach to a rewall and effectively acts as a proxy server as well. In a typical DMZ conguration 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 companys 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 7 How do I congure 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 specied computer to be exposed to the Internet. DMZ is useful when a certain application or game does not work through the rewall. The computer that is congured 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 nd 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 rst question in this section
(Frequently Asked Questions). D-Link Systems, Inc. 89 DI-624M Users Manual Frequently Asked Questions Step 2: Log into the web based conguration of the router by typing in the IP Address of the router (default:192.168.0.1) in your web browser. The username is admin (all lowercase) and the password is blank (nothing) Step 3: Click the Advanced tab and then click on the DMZ button. Select Enable and type in the IP Address you found in step 1. Step 4: Click Apply and then Continue to save the changes. Note: When DMZ is enabled, Virtual Server settings will still be effective. Remember, you cannot forward the same port to multiple IP Addresses, so the Virtual Server settings will take priority over DMZ settings. D-Link Systems, Inc. 90

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: A few 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 rewall. D-Link is not one of the manufacturers.

iChat cannot send or receive a le when the Mac OS X rewall is active in its default state. If you have opened the AIM port, you may be able to receive a le but not send them. In its default state, the Mac OS X rewall blocks le transfers using iChat or America Online AIM software. If either the sender or receiver has turned on the Mac OS X rewall, the transfer may be blocked. The simplest workaround is to temporarily turn off the rewall in the Sharing preference pane on both computers. This is required for the sender. However, the receiver may keep the rewall on if the AIM port is open. To open the AIM port:
Step 1: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Step 2: Choose View > Sharing. Step 3: Click the Firewall tab. Step 4: Click New. Step 5: Choose AOL IM from the Port Name pop-up menu. The number 5190 should already be lled in for you. Step 6: Click OK. If you do not want to turn off the rewall at the sending computer, a different le sharing service may be used instead of iChat. The types of le sharing available in Mac OS X are outlined in technical document 106461, Mac OS X: File Sharing in the AppleCare Knowledge base online. Note: If you use a le sharing service when the rewall 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 rewall will also block the le sharing service. D-Link Systems, Inc. 105 DI-624M Users Manual Frequently Asked Questions 18 What is NAT?
NAT stands for Network Address Translator. It is proposed and described in RFC-
1631 and is used for solving the IP Address 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 IP Addresses 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 IP Address. D-Links broadband routers (ie: DI-624M) support NAT. With proper conguration, multiple users can access the Internet using a single account via the NAT device. For more information on RFC-1631: The IP Network Address Translator (NAT), visit http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1631.html. D-Link Systems, Inc. 106 DI-624M Users Manual Appendix Appendix Securing Your Network 1. Change Admin Password Changing the password to access your new router is the rst step in securing your network. This can done through the Wizard or on the Admin Page of the Tools tab. There is no password by default and hackers will know this when trying to access your network. Make sure that the password you choose is not commonly known or something that is easy to guess such as your last name or your pets name. Try using a combination of letters and numbers to deter intruders from hacking into your network. Your private information should be kept private. 2. Disable DHCP and use Static IP addresses or Use Static DHCP and limit scope to the amount of users on your network. In the event that an intruder manages to gain access to your network, having DHCP enabled makes it easier for the intruder to access other computers on your network. There are two methods for getting around this. One is to disable DHCP and use static IP addressing on all the devices connected to your network. This would mean that the intruder would have to know what IP network your devices are on in order to access them. The second way is to change the scope of the DHCP server to only include enough IP addresses for the devices in your network. You can then use the Static DHCP feature of the router to assign an IP address to each device on your network. Static DHCP still dynamically assigns an IP address to your network devices but only allows for those dened devices to obtain an IP address. 3. Change the default LAN IP address Change the default LAN IP address from 192.168.0.1 to an alternate IP address. There are 3 ranges of IP addresses that have been reserved for use on Private Networks.
- 10.255.255.255 (10.0.0.0/8) 10.0.0.0 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16.0.0/12) 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168.0.0/16) D-Link routers use 192.168.0.1 as their default LAN IP address. Choosing an alternate IP address lessens the probabilty of an intruders knowing what IP network your devices are on. 4. Set up MAC Filtering Each networking device (router, network card, etc) on a network contains a unique hexadecimal number that identies that specic product. This number is referred to as a MAC address. MAC ltering allows you to create a list of the MAC address of each device on your network and only allows these specic devices to associate with your network. With this feature enabled, devices attempting to connect to your network with a MAC address that is not in the list you created, will be denied access.
