Automatic Setup
The AirNavigator CD can step you through installing your AirStation. To step through the setup
program, insert the CD into your Windows 7/Vista/XP PC and follow the instructions on the screen.
If your computer uses a different operating system, use manual setup instead.
Note: · To use a wireless client in Windows 7 or Vista, perform setup using the AirNavigator CD to automatically
generate a profile for wirelessly connecting to the AirStation. After setup is complete, once the LAN
cable is removed, you can connect from your wireless client to the AirStation.
· Before performing setup, make the settings to enable the wireless client of the computer.
Manual Setup
To configure your AirStation manually, follow the procedure below.
2 Connect your computer to one of the LAN ports on the rear of the AirStation with the
supplied Ethernet network cable.
3 Connection for the AirStation to the ADSL line varies by country and region. Typically it
involves a microfilter or a microfilter with built-in splitter to allow simultaneous use of ADSL
service and telephone service on the same telephone line. Please read the following steps
carefully and select the appropriate method.
· If your telephone service and ADSL service are on the same telephone line, ADSL microfilters are needed
for each telephone and device, such as answering machine, fax machine, and caller ID display. Additional
splitters may be used to separate telephone lines for telephone and Router.
Note: Do not connect the ADSL microfilter between the wall jack and the Router—this will prevent ADSL
service from reaching the modem.
· If your telephone service and ADSL service are on the same telephone line and you are using an ADSL
microfilter with built-in splitter, connect the splitter to the telephone wall jack providing ADSL service. Then,
connect the telephone cord from the ADSL microfilter RJ11 port generally labelled ‘DSL’ to the gray RJ11
port labelled ‘DSL line’ on the back of your Router. Connect the telephony device to the other port on the
ADSL splitter commonly labelled ‘Phone’.
Note: An RJ11 telephone cord is supplied. When inserting an RJ11 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks
into position correctly.
· If you have a dedicated ADSL service telephone line with an RJ11 wall jack, simply connect a telephone cord
from the wall jack to the DSL port on the back of the AirStation.
· If you have an RJ45 wall jack for your ADSL service, connect an RJ45-to-RJ11 converter to the wall jack. Then
connect one end of the telephone cord to the converter and the other end to the DSL port on the back of
the AirStation.

slower. Use an pre-shared-key to communicate with a wireless
device.
TKIP can be selected only when WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected
for Wireless authentication.
AES
AES is more secure than TKIP, and faster. Use a pre-shared-key to
communicate with a wireless device.
AES can be selected only when WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected
for Wireless authentication.
Parameter Meaning
WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) A pre-shared key or passphrase is the [password] for your wireless
connections. There are two different formats for a pre-shared key.
Use 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive) for a [character]
(ASCII) passphrase, or use 64 digits using 0 to 9 and a to f (not case-
sensitive) for a [hexadecimal] passphrase..
Rekey interval Set the update interval for the encryption key between 0 and 1440
(minutes).
Set up WEP encryption key A WEP encryption key (passphrase) may have any of four different
formats. A [character] (ASCII) passphrase may use either 5 or 13
alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive). A [hexadecimal] passphrase
may use either 10 or 26 digits using 0 to 9 and a to f (not case-sensitive).
Advanced
Configure advanced wireless settings.
Parameter Meaning

communication control frames of the AirStation and wireless
devices.
Reverse Direction Grant For faster wireless communication, you may enable receiving
packets while sending packets.
DTIM Period Set the beacon responding interval (1 -255) for which the AirStation
responds to a wireless device. This setting is effective only when
power management is enabled for the wireless device.
Output Power You may reduce the wireless radio power output. The power of a
radio wave and the distance that that radio wave reaches are almost
proportional, so if the output power is reduced, the distance that the
signal reaches also becomes smaller.
WMM
Set priorities for specific communications.
Parameter Meaning
WMM-EDCA Parameters You don't usually need to change these settings. Using the default
settings is recommended.
Priority
The following priorities may be applied to individual
transmission packets: (Highest) 8, (High) 4, (Normal) 2, and
(Low) 1. From the queue, these packets are processed in order of
priority.
CWmin, CWmax
The maximum and minimum value of the contention window.
The contention window is used in the frame collision avoidance
structure performed in IEEE802.11, and generally, the smaller the
value in the window, the higher the probability that the queue
obtains the right to send.
AIFSN
The interval to send frames. The unit of the AIFSN is a slot, just as
the window defined by CWmin and CWmax is. The smaller the
interval of sending frames, the faster the algorithm can restart.
As a result, the priority of the queue is higher.
TXOP Limit
The period of time that the queue can use after obtaining the
right to send. The unit is 32 ms. The longer this time, the more
frames can be sent per right to send. However, the queue may
interfere with other packet transmissions. If TXOP Limit is set to 0
(zero), only one frame can be sent per right to send.
MAC Filter
Restrict access to specific wireless devices.
Parameter Meaning
Enforce MAC Filtering Enable to restrict wireless connections to devices with registered
MAC addresses.

Issue:
What can I do if my wireless connection drops randomly or seems slow?
Answer:
There are many environmental factors that may cause this. First, ensure the issue is not range
related by moving the wireless router and the client device closer together. If the connection drops
continue, then range is probably not the issue.
Other 2.4 GHz devices such as microwaves, other wireless networks, and 2.4 GHz wireless phones
may impact performance. Try a different wireless channel for your wireless router. Log in to the
wireless router with your browser. Click on the Wireless Config tab and then the Basic tab. Wireless
channels from 1 - 11 may be selected. Try the Auto-Channel option if available. Otherwise, manually
select an alternate channel and click [Apply].
