Introduction
The Smart WLAN Manager is a convenient tool to manage the configuration of your network from a central computer. With Smart
WLAN Manager there is no need to configure the D-Link DWL-3140AP Wireless Access Points individually.
System Requirement
Suggested Specifications for Smart WLAN Manager installation:
‧ A PC or Notebook with an installed network adapter
‧ Supported OS: Windows®2000 or XP
‧ DHCP server is required
Note: The performance of a wired connection is better than a wireless connection for each computer running WLAN Manager. It is
recommended to use the wired connection to manage the Access Point.
Getting Started
Please prepare your network environment as the
following topology (see diagram). Switch (DES-1228P),
Access Point (DWL-3140AP), and the DHCP server
need to be in the same IP domain; the PC for Smart
WLAN Manager installation can connect the switch
directly, or via the Internet.
