This article teaches you how to set system IP and DHCP interface on D-Link switch.

Step 1: Open HyperTerminal and configure it for the Com port you are presently connected to, and use the following settings:

Bits Per Second – 9600
Data Bits – 8
Parity – None
Stop Bits – 1
Flow Control – None

Note: In the following steps, Console#, represents the command line prompt. If you have changed the name of your switch it will appear as the name, rather than console (ex DWS1008-01#).

Step 2: Login to the switch.
When prompted, enter the following information:
Username – admin
Password – (if you have not set a password leave this blank and press Enter)
Console# – enable

Step 3: Type the following command to pull DHCP from an Interface other than the switch (such as a Router or Server):
Console# set interface default ip dhcp-server disable. Press Enter.
success: change accepted.
Console# set interface default ip dhcp-client enable. Press Enter.
success: change accepted.

Step 4: Type the following command to set the System IP on your switch:
Console# set system ip-address 192.168.50.10
success: change accepted.

Step 5: Type the following command to set the Default Gateway on your switch:
Console# set ip route default 192.168.50.1 1
success: change accepted.

Step 6: Type the following command to set the IP for Interface 1:
Console# set interface 1 ip 192.168.50.10 255.255.255.0
success: change accepted.

Step 7: Type the command: show config to verify your results:
(Console# show config)

The results will then be displayed, similar to the list shown below:

1.How to change the preamble on my DI series wireless router?

Step 1: Open a web browser and type the IP address of the wireless router in the address bar (default is 192.168.0.1). Press Enter.

Step 2: The default username is admin (all lower case) and the default password is blank (nothing). Click OK.

Step 3: Click the Advanced tab and then click Performance to the left.

Step 4: Select Short or Long next to Preamble Type. If you experience lock-ups when transferring large files, then select Short preamble. You must also match your other wireless devices with the same preamble setting.

Note: The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for communication between the wireless access point and the roaming wireless network adapters. CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors.

2.How to change the SSID on D-Link wireless router?

Step 1: Open your web browser and type the IP address of the router in the address bar. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1. At the login, enter your username (admin) and password (default password is blank).

Step 2: Click on the Home tab at the top of the configuration page and then click the Wireless button on the left side.

Step 3: Next to SSID, type in a new SSID.

The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the workgroup name of your Wireless Network. All devices (access points, wireless routers, and wireless adapters) must have the same SSID to communicate on the Wireless Network. The SSID can be up to 32 numbers, letters, spaces, and dashes. Also, the SSID is case-sensitive.

Step 4: Click Apply and then click Continue to save your settings.

3.How to change the channel on DI series wireless router?

The channels can be changed to avoid interference from other wireless devices that run on the 2.4 Ghz frequency range (I.E. 2.4Ghz cordless phones, bluetooth, and X-10).

Step 1: Open your web browser and type the IP address of the router in the address bar. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1. At the login, enter your username (admin) and password (default password is blank).

Step 2: Click on the Home tab at the top of the configuration page and then click the Wireless button on the left side.

Step 3: Select a channel from the drop-down menu. For best results, use channel 1, 6, or 11.

Step 4 Click Apply and then click Continue to save your settings.
