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.

Installation

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.
