1 Section 3 - Configuration Virtual Server The DAP-1350 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 DAP-1350 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the DAP-1350 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 DAP-1350 redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network. The DAP-1350 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. For a list of ports for common applications, please visit http://www.dlink.com/support/faq/?prod_id=1191. D-Link DAP-1350 User Manual

Section 3 - Configuration Firewall Settings A firewall protects your network from the outside world. The D-Link DAP-1350 offers a firewall type functionality. The SPI feature helps prevent cyber attacks. Sometimes you may want a computer exposed to the outside world for certain types of applications. If you choose to expose a computer, you can enable DMZ. DMZ is short for Demilitarized Zone. This option will expose the chosen computer completely to the outside world. Enable SPI:

NAT Endpoint Filtering:

SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection, also known as dynamic packet filtering) helps to prevent cyber attacks by tracking more state per session. It validates that the traffic passing through the session conforms to the protocol. Select one of the following for TCP and UDP ports:

Endpoint Independent - Any incoming traffic sent to an open port will be forwarded to the application that opened the port. The port will close if idle for 5 minutes. Address Restricted - Incoming traffic must match the IP address of the outgoing connection. Address + Port Restriction - Incoming traffic must match the IP address and port of the outgoing connection. D-Link DAP-1350 User Manual

Section 3 - Configuration Advanced Wireless Settings Transmit Power:

Set the transmit power of the antennas. Note: Transmit power is regulated by international standard. Users are forbidden to change its maximum limit. Beacon Period:

Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is the default setting and is recommended. DTIM Interval:

(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 1 is the default setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. RTS Threshold:

This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should be made. Fragmentation Threshold:

The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes, determines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default setting. WMM Function:

WMM is QoS for your wireless network. This will improve the quality of video and voice applications for your wireless clients. Short GI:

Check this box to reduce the guard interval time therefore increasing the data capacity. However, its less reliable and may create higher data loss. D-Link DAP-1350 User Manual

Section 3 - Configuration Wi-Fi Protected Setup Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplified method for securing your wireless network during the Initial setup as well as the Add New Device processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certified it across different products as well as manufactures. The process is just as easy, as depressing a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering the 8-digit code for the Pin-Code Method. The time reduction in setup and ease of use are quite beneficial, while the highest wireless Security setting of WPA2 is automatically used. Enable:

Enable the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature. Lock Wireless Security Settings:

Locking the wireless security settings prevents the settings from being changed by the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature of the router. Devices can still be added to the network using Wi-Fi Protected Setup. However, the settings of the network will not change once this option is checked. PIN Settings:

A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add the router to an existing network or to create a new network. The default PIN may be printed on the bottom of the router. For extra security, a new PIN can be generated. You can restore the default PIN at any time. Only the Administrator (admin account) can change or reset the PIN. Current PIN:

Shows the current value of the routers PIN. Reset PIN to Default:

Restore the default PIN of the router. Generate New PIN:

Create a random number that is a valid PIN. This becomes the routers PIN. You can then copy this PIN to the user interface of the registrar. D-Link DAP-1350 User Manual

Section 3 - Configuration Add Wireless Station:

This Wizard helps you add wireless devices to the wireless network. The wizard will either display the wireless network settings to guide you through manual configuration, prompt you to enter the PIN for the device, or ask you to press the configuration button on the device. If the device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup and has a configuration button, you can add it to the network by pressing the configuration button on the device and then the on the router within 60 seconds. The status LED on the router will flash three times if the device has been successfully added to the network. There are several ways to add a wireless device to your network. A registrar controls access to the wireless network. A registrar only allows devices onto the wireless network if you have entered the PIN, or pressed a special Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the device. The router acts as a registrar for the network, although other devices may act as a registrar as well. Add Wireless Device Wizard:
