4. Technical Specifications
The ADB Wi-Fi Remote Control uses standard wireless network technologies.
The performance characteristics such as operating range are defined by the
networking equipment and its set-up.
On a Wi-Fi Network with ADB Wi-Fi software there are no limits to the amount of
Access Points and Pocket PC’s.
The required number of Access Points and the distances between Wi-Fi Nodes
depends on the characteristics of the selected Wi-Fi equipment and the environment
in which the network is set up (such as the presence of metal structures etc.) To have
a good estimation, please refer to the Instruction Manual of the selected Access
Point.
The Access Point selected by ADB is the D-Link DWL-2000AP
Manufacturer’s characteristics of the D-Link DWL-2000AP:
• Indoor: 100 m
• Outdoor: 400 m

This chapter describes the setup for the D-Link DWL-2000AP Access Point. Other
Access Points may work but are not supported by ADB.
D-Link DWL-2000AP
8.1. Basic configuration
The Basic Configuration does not require any configuration of the Access Point itself.
It is the simplest set-up, but it has no privacy / security WEP
6
.
Supply the Access Point with 230 V.
Connect the Access Point with an Ethernet cable (standard or cross-link) to an ISIS
®
desk, or to an Ethernet Switch on your lighting network. Configuration is done.
SECURITY WARNING: This basic configuration has no privacy / security (WEP)!
8.2. Customized configuration
A Customized Configuration requires a PC with a Windows operating system. The
set-up procedure is for an Access Point set to its original factory default settings.

This customized configuration procedure describes just some of the possible Access
Point configurations. For more specific settings, please refer to the Access Point User
Manual.
Connect the Access Point to the Windows PC with an Ethernet cable (standard or
cross-link).
To configure an Access Point it is necessary to give a fixed IP address to your PC
8
.
We strongly recommend that you make a note of your original settings on the PC
before you modify any. This will help you to restore the original configuration of the
PC later on.
• Configure a fixed IP address on the PC
IP address must be in the range 192.xxx.xxx.xxx
My Computer > Network Connections > Local Area Connection Properties > Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties
