Section 2 - Installation

Installation

This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router

in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, or in the attic or garage.

Before you Begin

• Please conﬁgure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem.

• Users with DSL providers - If you are using a PPPoE connection, you will need your PPPoE user name and password.

If you do not have this information, contact your Internet provider. Do not proceed until you have this information.

• Users with Cable providers - Make sure you unplug the power to your modem. In some cases, you may need to turn

it oﬀ for up to 5 minutes.

• Advanced Users - If your ISP provided you with a modem/router combo, you will need to set it to“bridge”mode so

the DIR-868L router can work properly. Please contact your ISP or refer to the user manual for your modem/router

device.

Wireless Installation Considerations

The D-Link wireless router lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the

operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings,

or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types

of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to

follow these basic guidelines:

1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices to a minimum -

each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that

the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle

appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position

devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.

3. Building Materials make a diﬀerence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eﬀect on range.

Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open

doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (ﬁsh tanks), mirrors, ﬁle

cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.

4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF

noise.

5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security

systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone

base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not

in use.

Section 2 - Installation

Connect to an Existing Router

Note: It is strongly recommended to replace your existing router with the DIR-868L instead of using both. If your modem is a combo

router, you may want to contact your ISP or manufacturer’s user guide to put the router into Bridge mode, which will ‘turn oﬀ’ the

router (NAT) functions.

If you are connecting the DIR-868L router to an existing router to use as a wireless access point and/or switch, you will have

to do the following to the DIR-868L before connecting it to your network:

• Disable UPnP^™

• Disable DHCP

• Change the LAN IP address to an available address on your network. The LAN ports on the router cannot accept

a DHCP address from your other router.

To connect to another router, please follow the steps below:

1. Plug the power into the router. Connect one of your computers to the router (LAN port) using an Ethernet cable. Make sure

your IP address on the computer is 192.168.0.xxx (where xxx is between 2 and 254). Please see the Networking Basics

section for more information. If you need to change the settings, write down your existing settings before making any

changes. In most cases, your computer should be set to receive an IP address automatically in which case you will not have

to do anything to your computer.

2. Open a web browser, enter http://192.168.0.1 (or http://dlinkrouter.local./) and press Enter. When the login window

appears, set the user name to Admin and leave the password box empty. Click Log In to continue.

3. Click on Advanced and then click Advanced Network. Uncheck the Enable UPnP checkbox. Click Save Settings to continue.

4. Click Setup and then click Network Settings. Uncheck the Enable DHCP Server checkbox. Click Save Settings to continue.

5. Under Router Settings, enter an available IP address and the subnet mask of your network. Click Save Settings to save your

settings. Use this new IP address to access the conﬁguration utility of the router in the future. Close the browser and change

your computer’s IP settings back to the original values as in Step 1.

6. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and reconnect your computer to your network.

7. Connect an Ethernet cable in one of the LAN ports of the router and connect it to your other router. Do not plug anything

into the Internet (WAN) port of the D-Link router.

8. You may now use the other 3 LAN ports to connect other Ethernet devices and computers.To conﬁgure your wireless network,

open a web browser and enter the IP address you assigned to the router. Refer to the Conﬁguration and Wireless Security

sections for more information on setting up your wireless network.

Section 4 - Security

Wireless Security

This section will show you the diﬀerent levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The DIR-868L oﬀers the

following types of security:

• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)

• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

• WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)

• WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)

What is WPA?

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).

The 2 major improvements over WEP:

• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing

algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered with. WPA2 is

based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP.

• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP

regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-speciﬁc MAC address, which is relatively simple

to be sniﬀed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only authorized

network users can access the network.

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password between

8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact same key entered on your

wireless router or access point.

WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a more secure public

key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.

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 automatically classiﬁed. The QoS section contains a queuing mechanism, traﬃc shaping and classiﬁcation. It supports

two kinds of queuing mechanisms. Strict Priority Queue (SPQ) and Weighted Fair Queue (WFQ). SPQ will process traﬃc based on traﬃc priority.

Queue1 has the highest priority and Queue4 has the lowest priority. WFQ will process traﬃc based on the queue weight. Users can conﬁgure each

queue’s weight. The sum of all the queue’s weight must be 100. When surﬁng the Internet, the system will do traﬃc shaping based on the uplink

and downlink speed. The classiﬁcation rules can be used to classify traﬃc to diﬀerent queues, then SPQ or WFQ will do QoS based on the queue’s

priority or weight.

Enable QoS: This option is disabled by default. Enable this option for better

performance and experience with online games and other

interactive applications, such as VoIP.

Uplink Speed: The speed at which data can be transferred from the router to

your ISP. This is determined by your ISP.

Downlink Speed: The speed at which data can be transferred from the Internet to

your router. This is determined by your ISP.

Queue Type: Select either Strict Priority Queue (rank in order) or Weighted

Fair Queue (percentage).

Queue ID: The queue ID used will be displayed in the ﬁrst column.

Troubleshooting

This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DIR-868L. Read the

following descriptions if you are having problems. The examples below are illustrated in Windows® XP. If you have a diﬀerent

operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.

1. Why can’t I access the web-based conﬁguration utility?

When entering the IP address of the D-Link router (192.168.0.1 for example), you are not connecting to a website nor do you

have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must

be on the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility.

• Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following:

- Microsoft Internet Explorer® 7 and higher

- Mozilla Firefox 3.5 and higher

- Google™ Chrome 8 and higher

- Apple Safari 4 and higher

• Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If you do not get a solid link light, try using a

diﬀerent cable or connect to a diﬀerent port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned oﬀ, the link light may not be

on.

• Disable any Internet security software running on the computer. Software ﬁrewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Sygate,

Norton Personal Firewall, andWindows^®XP ﬁrewall may block access to the conﬁguration pages. Check the help ﬁles included

with your ﬁrewall software for more information on disabling or conﬁguring it.

• If you still cannot access the conﬁguration, unplug the power to the router for 10 seconds and plug back in. Wait about 30

seconds and try accessing the conﬁguration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a diﬀerent computer.

2. What can I do if I forgot my password?

If you forgot your password, you must reset your router. Unfortunately this process will

change all your settings back to the factory defaults.

To reset the router, locate the reset button (hole) on the bottom of the unit. With the

router powered on, use a paperclip to hold the button down for 10 seconds. Release the

button and the router will go through its reboot process. Wait about 30 seconds to access

the router. To re-conﬁgure the router, refer to page 13.

3. Why can’t I connect to certain sites or send and receive e-mails when connecting through my router?

If you are having a problem sending or receiving e-mail, or connecting to secure sites such as eBay, banking sites, and Hotmail,

we suggest lowering the MTU in increments of ten (Ex. 1492, 1482, 1472, etc).

To ﬁnd the proper MTU Size, you’ll have to do a special ping of the destination you’re trying to go to. A destination could be

another computer, or a URL.

• Click on Start and then click Run.

• Windows® 95, 98, and Me users type in command (Windows® NT, 2000, XP, Vista®, and 7 users type in cmd) and

press Enter (or click OK).

• Once the window opens, you’ll need to do a special ping. Use the following syntax:

ping [url] [-f] [-l] [MTU value]

Example: ping yahoo.com -f -l 1472

Section 6 - Troubleshooting

You should start at 1472 and work your way down by 10 each time. Once you get a reply, go up by 2 until you get a fragmented

packet.Take that value and add 28 to the value to account for the variousTCP/IP headers. For example, lets say that 1452 was the

proper value, the actual MTU size would be 1480, which is the optimum for the network we’re working with (1452+28=1480).

Once you ﬁnd your MTU, you can now conﬁgure your router with the proper MTU size.

To change the MTU rate on your router follow the steps below:

• Open your browser, enter the IP address of your router (192.168.0.1) and click OK.

• Enter your username (admin) and password (blank by default). Click OK to enter the web conﬁguration page

for the device.

• Click on Setup and then click Manual Conﬁgure.

• To change the MTU enter the number in the MTU ﬁeld and click Save Settings to save your settings.

• Test your e-mail. If changing the MTU does not resolve the problem, continue changing the MTU in increments

of ten.

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.

Appendix A - Wireless Basics

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 phones 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, 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.

Appendix A - Wireless Basics

Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)

Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPAN. Bluetooth devices in WPAN operate in a range up to

30 feet away.

Compared to WLAN the speed and wireless operation range are both less than WLAN, but in return it doesn’t use nearly as

much power which makes it ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and other

devices that operate on batteries.

Who uses wireless?

Wireless technology as become so popular in recent years that almost everyone is using it, whether it’s for home, oﬃce, business,

D-Link has a wireless solution for it.

Home

• Gives everyone at home broadband access

• Surf the web, check email, instant message, etc.

• Gets rid of the cables around the house

• Simple and easy to use

Small Oﬃce and Home Oﬃce

• Stay on top of everything at home as you would at oﬃce

• Remotely access your oﬃce network from home

• Share Internet connection and printer with multiple computers

• No need to dedicate oﬃce space

Appendix A - Wireless Basics

Where is wireless used?

Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or oﬃce. People like the freedom of mobility and it’s becoming

so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless connection in public

places is usually called “hotspots”.

Using a D-Link Cardbus Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to Internet from remote locations

like: Airports, Hotels, Coﬀee Shops, Libraries, Restaurants, and Convention Centers.

Wireless network is easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the ﬁrst time it could be quite a task not knowing where to start.

That’s why we’ve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of setting up a wireless network.

Tips

Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.

Centralize your router or Access Point

Make sure you place the router/access point in a centralized location within your network for the best performance. Try to

place the router/access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed throughout your home. If you have

a two-story home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal to extend the range.

Eliminate Interference

Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the router/

access point. This would signiﬁcantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate on same

frequency.

Appendix A - Wireless Basics

Security

Don’t let you next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning on

the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Refer to product manual for detail information on how to set it up.

Wireless Modes

There are basically two modes of networking:

• Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.

• Ad-Hoc – Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network

adapters on each computer, such as two or more DIR-868L wireless network Cardbus adapters.

An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect to the

wireless router or access point.

An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless cardbus adapters. All the adapters must be in Ad-Hoc

mode to communicate.

Appendix E - GNU General Public License

Preamble

The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works.

The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the

GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free

software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any other

work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the

freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you

can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain

responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you

received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:

(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) oﬀer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.

For the developers’ and authors’ protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users’ and authors’

sake, the GPL requires that modiﬁed versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of

previous versions.

Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modiﬁed versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can

do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users’freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse

occurs in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of

the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision

to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.

Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software

on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it

eﬀectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modiﬁcation follow.

Appendix E - GNU General Public License

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

0. Deﬁnitions.

“This License”refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.

“Copyright”also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.

“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may

be individuals or organizations.

To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an

exact copy. The resulting work is called a “modiﬁed version”of the earlier work or a work “based on”the earlier work.

A “covered work”means either the unmodiﬁed Program or a work based on the Program.

To“propagate”a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under

applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or

without modiﬁcation), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.

To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a

computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.

An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that

(1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are

provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of user

commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.

1. Source Code.

The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modiﬁcations to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a

work.

A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an oﬃcial standard deﬁned by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces

speciﬁed for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language.

D-Link DIR-868L User Manual

Appendix E - GNU General Public License

The“System Libraries”of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging

a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component,

or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form. A “Major Component”, in this

context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the speciﬁc operating system (if any) on which the executable

work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.

The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work)

run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work’s System Libraries,

or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodiﬁed in performing those activities but which are not part of

the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface deﬁnition ﬁles associated with source ﬁles for the work, and the source code for

shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is speciﬁcally designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or

control ﬂow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.

The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.

The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.

2. Basic Permissions.

All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions

are met. This License explicitly aﬃrms your unlimited permission to run the unmodiﬁed Program. The output from running a covered work is

covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other

equivalent, as provided by copyright law.

You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force.

You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modiﬁcations exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities

for running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright.

Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that

prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.

Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it

unnecessary.

Appendix E - GNU General Public License

3. Protecting Users’ Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.

No covered work shall be deemed part of an eﬀective technological measure under any applicable law fulﬁlling obligations under article 11 of the

WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.

When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention

is eﬀected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modiﬁcation

of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work’s users, your or third parties’legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.

4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.

You may convey verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately

publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in

accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along

with the Program.

You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may oﬀer support or warranty protection for a fee.

5. Conveying Modiﬁed Source Versions.

You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modiﬁcations to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of

section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modiﬁed it, and giving a relevant date.

b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under section 7.

This requirement modiﬁes the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all notices”.

c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License

will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless

of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such

permission if you have separately received it.

d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive

interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.

Appendix E - GNU General Public License

A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and

which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate”

if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation’s users beyond what the individual

works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.

6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.

You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable

Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:

a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the

Corresponding Source ﬁxed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange.

b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a

written oﬀer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you oﬀer spare parts or customer support for that product

model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the

product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no

more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source

from a network server at no charge.

c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written oﬀer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative

is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the object code with such an oﬀer, in accord with

subsection 6b.

d) Convey the object code by oﬀering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and oﬀer equivalent access to the

Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the

Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding

Source may be on a diﬀerent server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you

maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to ﬁnd the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts

the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.

e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the object code and

Corresponding Source of the work are being oﬀered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d.

A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be

included in conveying the object code work.

Appendix E - GNU General Public License

A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or

household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,

doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, “normally used” refers to a typical

or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses,

or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial,

industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only signiﬁcant mode of use of the product.

“Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and

execute modiﬁed versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modiﬁed version of its Corresponding Source. The information must

suﬃce to ensure that the continued functioning of the modiﬁed object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modiﬁcation

has been made.

If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or speciﬁcally for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a

transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a ﬁxed term (regardless of

how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information.

But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modiﬁed object code on the User Product (for

example, the work has been installed in ROM).

The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates

for a work that has been modiﬁed or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modiﬁed or installed. Access to a

network may be denied when the modiﬁcation itself materially and adversely aﬀects the operation of the network or violates the rules and

protocols for communication across the network.

Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented

(and with an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or

copying.

7. Additional Terms.

“Additional permissions”are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional

permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid

under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but

the entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.

Appendix E - GNU General Public License

When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it.

(Additional permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work). You may place additional

permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of

that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:

a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability diﬀerently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or

b) Requiring preservation of speciﬁed reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal

Notices displayed by works containing it; or

c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that modiﬁed versions of such material be marked in

reasonable ways as diﬀerent from the original version; or

d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material; or

e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or

f) Requiring indemniﬁcation of licensors and authors of that material by anyone who conveys the material (or modiﬁed versions of

it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose

on those licensors and authors.

All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received

it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that

term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work

material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.

If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source ﬁles, a statement of the additional terms that

apply to those ﬁles, or a notice indicating where to ﬁnd the applicable terms.

Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above

requirements apply either way.

Appendix E - GNU General Public License

8. Termination.

You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify

it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of

section 11).

However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until

the copyright holder explicitly and ﬁnally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation

by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notiﬁes you of the violation by some

reasonable means, this is the ﬁrst time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure

the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.

Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this

License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material

under section 10.

9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.

You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring

solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than

this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License.

Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.

10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.

Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that

work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.

An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or

merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of

the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party’s predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a

right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable

eﬀorts.

Appendix E - GNU General Public License

You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or aﬃrmed under this License. For example, you may not impose

a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim

or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, oﬀering for sale, or importing the Program or any

portion of it.

11. Patents.

A“contributor”is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus

licensed is called the contributor’s “contributor version”.

A contributor’s“essential patent claims”are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired,

that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims

that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modiﬁcation of the contributor version. For purposes of this deﬁnition,“control”includes

the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.

Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor’s essential patent claims, to make, use,

sell, oﬀer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.

In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent

(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a party

means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.

If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to

copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you

must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the beneﬁt of the patent license for this

particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream recipients.

“Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your

recipient’s use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identiﬁable patents in that country that you have reason to believe

are valid.

If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work,

and grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a speciﬁc copy

of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.

Appendix E - GNU General Public License

A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-

exercise of one or more of the rights that are speciﬁcally granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an

arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the

extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work

from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or

(b) primarily for and in connection with speciﬁc products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,

or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.

Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be

available to you under applicable patent law.

12. No Surrender of Others’ Freedom.

If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not

excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this

License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate

you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and

this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.

13. Use with the GNU Aﬀero General Public License.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version

3 of the GNU Aﬀero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue

to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Aﬀero General Public License, section 13, concerning

interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such.

14. Revised Versions of this License.

The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions

will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may diﬀer in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program speciﬁes that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License

“or any later version”applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version

published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose

any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program speciﬁes that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU

General Public License can be used, that proxy’s public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version

for the Program.

Appendix E - GNU General Public License

Later license versions may give you additional or diﬀerent permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright

holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.

15. Disclaimer of Warranty.

THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING

THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR

IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE

ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME

THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

16. Limitation of Liability.

IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO

MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,

INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO

OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.

If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal eﬀect according to their terms, reviewing courts

shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or

assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.

• Only for products purchased and delivered within the ﬁfty states of the United States, the District of Columbia, U.S. Possessions

or Protectorates, U.S. Military Installations, or addresses with an APO or FPO.

Limited Warranty:

D-Link warrants that the hardware portion of the D-Link product described below (“Hardware”) will be free from material defects in workmanship

and materials under normal use from the date of original retail purchase of the product, for the period set forth below (“Warranty Period”), except

as otherwise stated herein.

• Hardware (excluding power supplies and fans): One (1) year

• Power supplies and fans: One (1) year

• Spare parts and spare kits: Ninety (90) days

The customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of D-Link and its suppliers under this Limited Warranty will be, at

D-Link’s option, to repair or replace the defective Hardware during the Warranty Period at no charge to the original owner or to refund the actual

purchase price paid. Any repair or replacement will be rendered by D-Link at an Authorized D-Link Service Oﬃce. The replacement hardware

need not be new or have an identical make, model or part. D-Link may, at its option, replace the defective Hardware or any part thereof with any

reconditioned product that D-Link reasonably determines is substantially equivalent (or superior) in all material respects to the defective Hardware.

Repaired or replacement hardware will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period or ninety (90) days, whichever is longer,

and is subject to the same limitations and exclusions. If a material defect is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines that it is not practical

to repair or replace the defective Hardware, the actual price paid by the original purchaser for the defective Hardware will be refunded by D-Link

upon return to D-Link of the defective Hardware. All Hardware or part thereof that is replaced by D-Link, or for which the purchase price is refunded,

shall become the property of D-Link upon replacement or refund.

Limited Software Warranty:

D-Link warrants that the software portion of the product (“Software”) will substantially conform to D-Link’s then current functional speciﬁcations

for the Software, as set forth in the applicable documentation, from the date of original retail purchase of the Software for a period of ninety (90)

days (“Software Warranty Period”), provided that the Software is properly installed on approved hardware and operated as contemplated in its

documentation. D-Link further warrants that, during the SoftwareWarranty Period, the magnetic media on which D-Link delivers the Software will be

free of physical defects. The customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of D-Link and its suppliers under this Limited Warranty will

be, at D-Link’s option, to replace the non-conforming Software (or defective media) with software that substantially conforms to D-Link’s functional

speciﬁcations for the Software or to refund the portion of the actual purchase price paid that is attributable to the Software. Except as otherwise

agreed by D-Link in writing, the replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee, and is subject to the terms and conditions of the

license granted by D-Link for the Software. Replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period and is subject

to the same limitations and exclusions. If a material non-conformance is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion that it

is not practical to replace the non-conforming Software, the price paid by the original licensee for the non-conforming Software will be refunded by

D-Link; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies thereof) is ﬁrst returned to D-Link. The license granted respecting any Software

for which a refund is given automatically terminates.

Non-Applicability of Warranty:

The Limited Warranty provided hereunder for Hardware and Software portions of D-Link’s products will not be applied to and does not cover any

refurbished product and any product purchased through the inventory clearance or liquidation sale or other sales in which D-Link, the sellers, or

the liquidators expressly disclaim their warranty obligation pertaining to the product and in that case, the product is being sold “As-Is” without

any warranty whatsoever including, without limitation, the Limited Warranty as described herein, notwithstanding anything stated herein to the

contrary.

Governing Law:
