that supports data transfer speeds of up to 54 Mbps in 802.11a mode and up

for setting up a network using your new DWL-AB650.
The DWL-AB650 comes with software drivers for the most popular Microsoft

At least a 300 MHz processor and 32 MB of memory
Cardbus Controller properly installed and working
An 802.11a or an 802.11b Access Point (for Infrastructure Mode) or

Installing the DWL-AB650
Turn on the computer.

AirPro DWL-AB650
Wireless Cardbus
Adapter into an

Cardbus slot.

Installing the Driver
Installing the software for your new DWL-AB650 Cardbus Adapter
involves two steps. The first is to install the driver for the Cardbus Adapter,
and the second is to install the Configuration Utility.
When the Cardbus Adapter is inserted in a Cardbus slot, Windows will
recognize the card and the following screen will appear:
Insert the Driver CD into your CD-ROM drive, if you have not done so
already. If the Driver CD is not in the CD-ROM drive, a prompt such as
the one below will appear. Click OK.
The installation will continue. The following screen appears to let you
know that the driver installation is continuing.
When the driver installation is complete, the screen shown above will
disappear.

Installing the Configuration Utility
Look for the file named “Setup.exe” on the installation CD-Rom. Doubleclick
on it to start the installation for the configuration utility.
To install to the folder C:\Program Files\D-Link\AirPro Utility. Click
Next. Otherwise click on Browse to choose an alternate location.
The Setup Status screen will appear and display the progress of the
installation.
A screen alerting you that all backup files have been removed will appear.
This is the next to the last screen to appear in the installation.
After AirPro Utility has been successfully installed, the
InstallShield Wizard will prompt you to restart your computer.
Select Yes, I want to restart my computer now, and click Finish.
After your computer has restarted, the following screen will appear.
Select the SSID (the name of an AP) by clicking on it in the Please select
a network name (SSID) to connect dialog box, shown below. Click Next
to put settings into effect.
If the Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) is enabled on the AP you
have selected, the WEP Setting dialog box will become active and allow
you to select the length of the WEP encryption keys as well as allowing
you to enter the WEP encryption keys in the appropriate fields. All four
of these keys must be exactly the same as the WEP encryption keys in
use on the AP. Contact your network administrator if you do not know
what keys are in use by the AP.
There are three distinct modes of operation for WEP on the connection
between an AP and your DWL-AB650 Cardbus Adapter, in terms of
WEP encryption. The first is unencrypted. That is, WEP is disabled on
both the AP and your Cardbus Adapter. The second is the Network
Authentication (Shared Mode). When this box is checked, the AP and
your Cardbus Adapter will verify that the exact same WEP keys are in
use by sending each other encrypted messages. After this authentication,
all data transfer between the AP and your Cardbus Adapter will be
unencrypted. The third is Enable Data encryption. In this mode, all
data exchanged between the AP and your Cardbus Adapter is encrypted.
Here, the Enable Data encryption mode will be selected if you enter
Click on
the SSID of
your AP
Then click
Next
WEP keys and leave the Network Authentication (Shared Mode) clickbox
blank.
