Chapter 1 Product Overview
Air Navigator CD Requirements
The AirStation wireless router and access point works with most wired and wireless devices.
However, the automatic installation program on the CD requires a connected Windows 7, Vista or
XP computer to run. If you use the AirStation with a dierent operating system, you will have to
congure your network settings manually from a browser window.
150 Mbps High Speed Mode
150 Mbps is the link speed when using Wireless-N mode. It represents actual wireless data speeds,
including overhead. Because the overhead is not available for user data transfer, usable wireless
throughput will be substantially slower.

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 dierent 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 congure your AirStation manually, follow the procedure below.

Connection for the AirStation to the ADSL line varies by country and region. Typically it
involves a microlter or a microlter 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.
4
· 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.

Gathering Information
Most DSL providers require PPPoE or PPPoA details to log in to your connection. You must call your
ISP’s Technical Support number to obtain the following information:
Username : This is the Username that is used to log onto your ADSL service provider’s network. It is
commonly in the form − user@isp.com.
Password : This is the Password that is used, in conjunction with the Username above, to log on to
your ADSL service provider’s network.
Connection Protocol : This is the method that your ADSL service provider uses to send and receive
data between the Internet and your computer.
VPI : This is the Virtual Path Identier (VPI). It is used in conjunction with the Virtual Channel
Identier (VCI) below, to identify the data path between your ADSL service provider’s network
and your computer.
VCI : This is the Virtual Channel Identier (VCI). It is used in conjunction with the VPI above to
identify the data path between your ADSL service provider’s network and your computer.
Note : This information should be stored and kept to hand as it will be required to enable you to establish
an internet connection.
The table below is a quick reference guide for conguring your ADSL Internet connection. You may

TKIP is an encryption method which is more secure than WEP, but
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

Advanced
Congure advanced wireless settings.
ParameterMeaning
BSS Basic Rate SetSet the communication speeds of administrative and
communication control frames of the AirStation and wireless
devices.
Multicast RateSet the communication speed of multi-cast packets.
Reverse Direction GrantFor faster wireless communication, you may enable receiving
packets while sending packets.
DTIM PeriodSet the beacon responding interval (1 -255) for which the AirStation
responds to a wireless device. This setting is eective only when
power management is enabled for the wireless device.
Privacy SeparatorIf enabled, the Privacy Separator blocks communication between
wireless devices connected to the AirStation. Wireless devices will
be able to connect to the Internet but not with each other. Devices
that are connected to the AirStation with wired connections will
still be able to connect to wireless devices normally.
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.

ParameterMeaning
WMM-EDCA ParametersYou 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 dened 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.

How do I forward ports on my wireless router for my gaming console?
Answer:
Log in to the router's conguration utility. From the home page, go to the Internet Game/ Port
Mapping section. Enter the port that needs to be forwarded, and the IP address of the gaming
console.
Issue:
How do I enable or modify security encryption settings on the wireless router?
Answer:
Log in to the conguration utility with your browser. Go to the Wireless Cong tab and then select
the Security tab. Bualo recommends WPA for wireless encryption. The passphrase/key should be at
least 8 characters in length.
Issue:
How do I change my wireless router's broadcasted network name (SSID)?

necessary. Find the settings area for SSID. Select the [Use] radio button and enter the name you
wish to use for your network in the text eld provided. Click [Apply] to save the settings. Once the

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 dierent wireless channel for your wireless router. Log in to the
wireless router with your browser. Click on the Wireless Cong 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].
