D-Link DIR-455 User Manual 1 Section 1 - Product Overview Introduction The D-Link HSDPA 3.5G Mobile Communication Router allows users to access worldwide mobile broadband networks. Once connected, users can transfer data, stream media, send SMS messages, and make mobile phone calls. Simply insert your UMTS/HSDPA SIM card, and share your 3.5G Internet connection through a secure 802.11g wireless network or using any of the four 10/100 Ethernet ports. While accessing your 3.5G Internet connection, you will still have the ability to answer incoming mobile calls and respond to SMS messages. An RJ-11 jack allows you to attach a standard analog phone for high-quality mobile calls over a GSM network. Enjoy the comfort and convenience of your favorite office phone anywhere you go. Keep your wireless network safe with WPA/WPA2 wireless encryption. The DIR-455 utilizes dual-active firewalls
(SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks across the Internet, and supports up to five concurrent IPSec VPN tunnels. The 3.5G Mobile Communication Router can be installed quickly and easily almost anywhere. This router is great for situations where an impromptu wireless network must be set up, or wherever conventional network access is unavailable. The DIR-455 can even be installed in buses, trains, or boats, allowing passengers to check e-mail or chat online while commuting.

Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, or in an attic or garage. Connect to Your Network Note: Ensure that your DIR-455 Mobile Router is disconnected and powered off before performing the installation steps below. 1. Insert a standard U(SIM) card into the SIM card slot on the back of the router with the gold contacts facing downwards. 2. Insert your Internet/WAN network cable into the INTERNET port on the back of the router. Note: The 3.5G connection can also be used as a backup WAN. Once a backup is configured, the router will automatically use 3.5G for the Internet connection if the Ethernet WAN is not available. 3. Insert the Ethernet cable into the LAN Port 1 on the back panel of the DIR-455 Mobile Router, and an available Ethernet port on the network adapter in the computer you will use to configure the unit. Note: The DIR-455 Mobile Router LAN Ports are Auto-MDI/MDIX. Therefore, patch or crossover Ethernet cables can be used. 4. Connect the power adapter to the socket on the back panel of your DIR-455 Mobile Router. Plug the other end of the power adapter into a wall outlet or power strip. a. The Status LED will light up to indicate that power has been supplied to the router. b. The LEDs on the front panel will flash on and off as the DIR-455 Mobile Router performs initialization and Internet connection processes. c. After a few moments, if a connection has been established, the following LEDs will turn solid green: Power, Status, WAN, WLAN, and LAN Port 1 (or whichever port(s) your Ethernet cable has been connected to). Caution! Always unplug/power down the router before installing or removing the SIM card. Never insert or remove the SIM card while the router is in use. D-Link DIR-455 User Manual 6 Section 2 - Installation Connect a Telephone A standard RJ-11 jack on the back of the router allows you to connect a standard analog telephone for voice calls. Simply plug the phone cable into the jack labeled PHONE. You can then use your handset to dial out as you typically would with a standard landline. Your attached phone will also ring for any incoming voice calls. D-Link DIR-455 User Manual 7 Section 2 - Installation Wireless Installation Considerations The DIR-455 can be accessed using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the quantity, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office. The key to maximizing the wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapters range from 3 to 90 feet (1 to 30 meters). 2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5 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. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through open doorways and drywall. Materials such as glass, metal, brick, insulation, concrete and water can affect wireless performance. Large objects such as fish tanks, mirrors, file cabinets, metal doors and aluminum studs may also have a negative effect on range. 4. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, make sure that the 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless device as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use. In some cases, cordless phones, X-10 wireless devices, and electronic equipment such as ceiling fans, fluorescent lights, and home security systems may dramatically degrade wireless connectivity.

With the xAuth feature, the VPN client (or initiator) needs to provide additional user information to the remote VPN server (or VPN gateway) for extended authentication. Otherwise, the VPN server will reject the connection request from VPN clients due to an unknown user, even though the pre-shared key is correct. This function is suitable for remote mobile VPN clients. Not only can you configure a VPN rule with a pre-shared key for all remote users, you can also designate that a user is only permitted to establish a VPN connection with the VPN server. Disables Extended Authentication (xAuth). Select this checkbox if the device behaves as a VPN client, and will send user information to remote VPN server for extended authentication. You must input a correct user name and password to pass authentication. Please note that remote VPN servers without xAuth will reject your connect request if you have activated this feature.

The DIR-455 offers the following types of security:
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) What is WEP?
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and uses the RC4 encryption algorithm. WEP provides security by encrypting data over your wireless network so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one wireless device to another. To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When using WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be defined so that you can change keys easily. D-Link DIR-455 User Manual 66 Section 4 - Security Configure WEP It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish wireless connectivity before enabling encryption. Your wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to the added overhead. 1. Log into the web-based configuration by opening a web browser and entering the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1). Click on Wireless Settings on the left side. 2. Next to Security Mode, select Enable WEP Security. 3. Next to Authentication, select Open or Shared Key. 4. Select either 64-bit or 128-bit encryption from the drop-down box next to WEP Encryption. 5. Next to Key Type, select either Hex or ASCII. Hex (recommended) - Letters A-F and numbers 0-9 are valid. ASCII - All numbers and letters are valid. 6. Next to Key 1, enter a WEP key that you create. Make sure you enter this key exactly on all your wireless devices. You may enter up to 4 different keys. 7. Click Save Settings to save your settings. If you are configuring the router with a wireless adapter, you will lose connectivity until you enable WEP on your adapter and enter the same WEP key as you did on the router. D-Link DIR-455 User Manual 67 Section 4 - Security What is WPA?
WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The 2 major improvements over WEP:
Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys havent been tampered with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP. User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computers hardware-specific MAC address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact same key entered on your wireless router or access point. WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a more secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.

D-Link DIR-455 User Manual 78 Section 6 - Troubleshooting Troubleshooting This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DIR-455. Read the following descriptions if you are having problems. (The examples below are illustrated in Windows XP. If you have a different operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.) 1. Why cant I access the web-based configuration utility?
When entering the IP address of the D-Link router (192.168.0.1 for example), you are not connecting to a website on 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. Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following:
Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher Netscape 8 or higher Mozilla 1.7.12 (5.0) or higher Opera 8.5 or higher Safari 1.2 or higher (with Java 1.3.1 or higher) Camino 0.8.4 or higher Firefox 1.5 or higher 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. Disable any internet security software running on the computer. Software firewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Sygate, Norton Personal Firewall, and Windows XP firewall may block access to the configuration pages. Check the help files included with your firewall software for more information on disabling or configuring it. D-Link DIR-455 User Manual 79 Section 6 - Troubleshooting Configure your Internet settings:
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click the Internet Options Icon. From the Security tab, click the button to restore the settings to their defaults. Click the Connection tab and set the dial-up option to Never Dial a Connection. Click the LAN Settings button. Make sure nothing is checked. Click OK. Go to the Advanced tab and click the button to restore these settings to their defaults. Click OK three times. Close your web browser (if open) and open it. Access the web management. Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your D-Link router in the address bar. This should open the login page for your the web management. If you still cannot access the configuration, unplug the power to the router for 10 seconds and plug back in. Wait about 30 seconds and try accessing the configuration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a different computer. 2. What can I do if I forgot my password?
If you forgot your password, you must reset your router. Unfortunately this process will change all your settings back to the factory defaults. To reset the router, locate the reset button (hole) on the rear panel of the unit. With the router powered on, use a paperclip to hold the button down for 10 seconds. Release the button and the router will go through its reboot process. Wait about 30 seconds to access the router. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1. When logging in, the username is admin and leave the password box empty. D-Link DIR-455 User Manual 80 Appendix A - 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. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the D-Link wireless family of products will allow you to securely access the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers. A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. Wireless LANs 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. Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to use servers, printers or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Router is a device used to provide this link. D-Link DIR-455 User Manual 81 Appendix A - Wireless Basics What is Wireless?
Wireless or Wi-Fi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires. Wi-Fi uses radio frequency to connect wirelessly, so you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home or office network. Why D-Link Wireless?
D-Link is the worldwide leader and award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products. D-Link delivers the performance you need at a price you can afford. D-Link has all the products you need to build your network. How does wireless work?
Wireless works similar to how cordless phone work, through radio signals to transmit data from one point A to point B. But wireless technology has restrictions as to how you can access the network. You must be within the wireless network range area to be able to connect your computer. There are two different types of wireless networks Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN). Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) In a wireless local area network, a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to the network. The access point has a small antenna attached to it, which allows it to transmit data back and forth over radio signals. With an indoor access point as seen in the picture, the signal can travel up to 300 feet. With an outdoor access point the signal can reach out up to 30 miles to serve places like manufacturing plants, industrial locations, college and high school campuses, airports, golf courses, and many other outdoor venues. Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPAN. Bluetooth devices in WPAN operate in a range up to 30 feet away. D-Link DIR-455 User Manual 82 Appendix A - Wireless Basics Compared to WLAN the speed and wireless operation range are both less than WLAN, but in return it doesnt use nearly as much power which makes it ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and other devices that operate on batteries. Who uses wireless?
Wireless technology as become so popular in recent years that almost everyone is using it, whether its for home, office, business, D-Link has a wireless solution for it. Home Gives everyone at home broadband access Surf the web, check e-mail, instant message, and etc Gets rid of the cables around the house Simple and easy to use Small Office and Home Office Stay on top of everything at home as you would at office Remotely access your office network from home Share Internet connection and printer with multiple computers No need to dedicate office space D-Link DIR-455 User Manual 83 Appendix A - Wireless Basics Where is wireless used?
Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or office. People like the freedom of mobility and its becoming so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless connection in public places is usually called hotspots. Using a D-Link Cardbus Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to Internet from remote locations like Airports, Hotels, Coffee Shops, Libraries, Restaurants, and Convention Centers. Wireless network is easy to setup, but if youre installing it for the first time it could be quite a task not knowing where to start. Thats why weve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of setting up a wireless network. Tips Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network. Centralize your Router or Access Point Make sure you place the router/access point in a centralized location within your network for the best performance. Try to place the router/
access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed throughout your home. If you have a two-story home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal to extend the range. Eliminate Interference Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the router/access point. This would significantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate on same frequency. Security Dont let you next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning on the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Refer to product manual for detail information on how to set it up. D-Link DIR-455 User Manual 84 Appendix A - Wireless Basics Wireless Modes There are basically two modes of networking:
Infrastructure All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router. Ad-Hoc Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network adapters on each computer, such as two or more WNA-2330 wireless network Cardbus adapters. An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect to the wireless router or access point. An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless cardbus adapters. All the adapters must be in Ad-Hoc mode to communicate. D-Link DIR-455 User Manual 85 Appendix B - Networking Basics Networking Basics Check your IP address After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below. Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK. (Windows Vista users type cmd in the Start Search box.) At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter. This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of your adapter. If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your router. Some firewall software programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters. D-Link DIR-455 User Manual 86 Appendix B - Networking Basics Statically Assign an IP address If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below:
Step 1 Windows Vista -
Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Network Connections. Windows XP -
Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections. Windows 2000 -
From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties. Step 2 Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your network adapter and select Properties. Step 3 Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties. Step 4 Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or the LAN IP address on your router. Example: If the routers LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in use on the network. Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP. Step 5 Click OK twice to save your settings.
