Virtual Server

The DIR-655 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 DIR-655 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the DIR-655 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 DIR-655 redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network. The DIR-655 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://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=1191.

QoS Engine

The QoS Engine option helps improve your network gaming performance by prioritizing applications. By default the QoS Engine settings are disabled and application priority is not classified automatically.
Enable This option is disabled by default. Enable this StreamEngine: option for better performance and experience with online games and other interactive applications, such as VoIP. Dynamic This option should be enabled when you have a Fragmentation: slow Internet uplink. It helps to reduce the impact that large low priority network packets can have on more urgent ones. Automatic Uplink This option is enabled by default when the QoS Speed: Engine option is enabled. This option will allow your router to automatically determine the uplink speed of your Internet connection. Measured Uplink This displays the detected uplink speed. Speed: Manual Uplink The speed at which data can be transferred from the router to your ISP. This is determined by your ISP. ISPs often speed as Speed: a download/upload pair. For example, 1.5Mbits/284Kbits. Using this example, you would enter 284. Alternatively you can test your uplink speed with a service such as www.dslreports.com. Connection Type: By default, the router automatically determines whether the underlying connection is an xDSL/Frame-relay network or some other connection type (such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it displays the result as Detected xDSL or Frame Relay Network. If you have an unusual network connection in which you are actually connected via xDSL but for which you configure either Static or DHCP in the Internet settings, setting this option to xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router will recognize that it needs to shape traffic slightly differently in order to give the best performance. Choosing xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network causes the measured uplink speed to be reported slightly lower than before on such connections, but gives much better results. Detected xDSL: When Connection Type is set to automatic, the automatically detected connection type is displayed here. D-Link DIR-655 User Manual 36

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.

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.

Accessing the DIR-655 Device
By default the LAN ports on the DIR-655 are configured to provide IP addresses via DHCP. To access the device, connect a computer to one of the LAN ports. Ensure that the computer is configured to acquire an IP address automatically via DHCP. Navigate a web browser to http://192.168.0.1 and the following screen should appear:

Adaption Technologies Recommended Firmware
The minimum recommended firmware for the DIR-655 is: Firmware Version: 1.32NA
WARNING!!! If the router is purchased from Adaption Technologies, it will be updated with the appropriate firmware version before it is shipped. If the device is acquired from another source, it may arrive with an older version of firmware than what is recommended above. If so, the recommended firmware should be loaded before any other configuration steps are taken. The procedure for updating the firmware on the DIR-655 is included in a later section of this document.
Adaption Technologies Default Configuration
The Adaption Technologies default configuration for the D-Link DIR-655 router is different from the D-Link factory default configuration in the following ways: The "Enable DNS Relay" feature located under Setup->Network Settings->Router Settings is disabled in the Adaption Technologies default configuration. This is done to prevent the DIR-655 from tampering with DNS requests. The "Time Zone" feature located under Tools->Time->Time Configuration is set to (GMT-06:00) Central Time (US/Canada) in the Adaption Technologies default configuration. This is done for general standardization purposes, but it is not mandatory requirement. The "Automatic Classification" feature located under Advanced->QOS Engine->QOS Engine Setup is disabled in the Adaption Technologies default configuration. This is done to ensure that the Adaption Specific QOS rules are strictly enforced. Two QOS Engine Rules located under Advanced->QOS Engine->QOS Engine Rules are included in the Adaption Technologies default configuration. These rules are as follows: o Name: AdptSIP, Priority: 2, Protocol: Both, Local IP Range: 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255, Local Port Range: 8933 to 8953, Remote IP Range: 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255, Remote Port Range: 8933 to 8953 o Name: AdptRTP, Priority: 1, Protocol: Both, Local IP Range: 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255, Local Port Range: 19560 to 24560, Remote IP Range: 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255, Remote Port Range: 19560 to 24560 These rules are applied to ensure that voice traffic has higher priority over all other data traffic passing through the DIR-655. WARNING!!! Restoring the router to the factory default will remove the Adaption Specific configuration parameters outlined above, and the router will no longer be optimized for use with the SIP Advantage product. If the device is received in a factory default state, or if it is reset to the factory default state at a later time, the Adaption Technologies default configuration should be loaded before any other configuration steps are taken. The procedure for loading the Adaption Technologies default configuration is located in a later section of this document.
Loading Recommended Firmware
During the initial configuration process, it is very important to verify that the router is on the most current recommended firmware load. If not, the device should be upgraded before any additional configuration steps are taken. Doing so will avoid any unnecessary problems that have been corrected in newer versions of the firmware.
The firmware version appears in the upper right hand corner of the DIR-655 on all screens in the web interface. Compare the version recommended in this document with the version installed on the DIR-655. If the recommended version is newer than the installed version, perform the following steps to upgrade the firmware:
1. Download the recommended firmware from one of the following locations: D-Link Product Website: http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=DIR-655 Adaption Knowledgebase: https://kb.sipadvantage.com/kb/index.php?View=entry&EntryID=106 2. Login to the DIR-655 web interface and navigate to the Tools->Firmware screen as illustrated by figure 2 below

3. Click the Browse button and select the firmware load downloaded in step 1
4. Click the Upload button to initiate the firmware load update 5. Wait for the router to complete the upload process. When it has completed, the login screen will reappear
Loading Adaption Technologies Default Configuration
As previously discussed, the Adaption Technologies default configuration differs from the D-Link factory default in a number of ways. If the router was received without the Adaption Technologies default configuration or it has been reset to the D-Link factory default for any reason, it may be necessary to reload the Adaption Technologies default configuration. The procedure to load the configuration is as follows: 1. Download the Adaption Technologies default configuration from the Adaption Technologies Knowledgebase at the following location: https://kb.sipadvantage.com/kb/index.php?View=entry&EntryID=106 2. Login to the DIR-655 web interface and navigate to the Tools->System screen as illustrated by figure 3 below
