Domain Name

Set the domain name for the DHCP server to issue to clients. You may enter up to 127

alphanumerical characters, hyphens, and periods.

DHCP Leases

LAN - DHCP Leases (Router Mode Only)

Current DHCP Clients

Displays information for current leases. An IP address which is leased automatically can

be changed to manual leasing by clicking

Add Client

.

Routing

Configure the AirStation’s IP communication route here.

Wireless

Determines whether to allow wireless communication. If this is unchecked, then no

wireless connections will be allowed.

Wireless Channel

Sets a channel (a range of frequencies) for wireless connections. With

Auto Channel

selected, the AirStation will automatically use the best available channel.

High-Speed Mode

Configure the bandwidth for wireless communication. To increase communication rate,

set the bandwidth to 40 MHz and configure extension channel.

Broadcast SSID

If

Allow

is checked, then the AirStation will respond to SSID searches from wireless

devices by broadcasting its SSID. If

Allow

is unchecked, then the AirStation ignores SSID

searches from wireless devices.

SSID 1

SSID 2

Enable or disable the main SSID (SSID 1) and sub SSID (SSID 2).

SSID Isolation

Enable to make wireless devices connected to the specified SSID be able to

communicate only with the Internet-side.

Wireless Authentication

Select an authentication method for SSID 1 from below:

WPA/WPA2-mixed mode PSK

Allows the authentication compatible with WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK at the same time.

WPA2-PSK

Allows the authentication compatible with WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i).

WPA-PSK

Allows the authentication compatible with WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access).

No Authentication

Connect to wireless clients without any authentication method.

Encrypt Wireless Data

You may use any of the following types of encryption:

TKIP/AES mixed mode

TKIP/AES mixed mode

allows both TKIP and AES authentication and communication.

This

is no more secure than TKIP alone, but more convenient for some users.

TKIP/AES mixed

mode

can be selected only when

WPA/WPA2 mixed mode - 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.

No Encryption

Data is transmitted without encryption. With this setting, anyone within range can

connect to your wireless network and might be able to access data on the network. Not

recommended for anyone with private data that needs to be kept secure.

No Encryption

can be selected only when

No Authentication

is selected for wireless authentication.

WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared

Keys)

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 an ASCII passphrase, or use 64 alphanumeric characters (0 to 9 and a to f,

not case-sensitive) for a hexadecimal passphrase.

Key Renewal Interval

Set the update interval for the encryption key between 0 and 1440 (minutes).

WEP Encryption Key

Settings

A WEP encryption key (passphrase) may have any of four different formats. An

ASCII passphrase may use either 5 or 13 alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive). A

hexadecimal passphrase may use either 10 or 26 alphanumeric characters (0 to 9 and a

to f, not case-sensitive).

BSS BasicRateSet

BSS (basic service set) configures the transmission rate of control communication frames

for a wireless client. Setup choices may vary with different wireless clients.

Multicast Rate

Set the communication speed of multicast packets.

34

802.11n Protection

Enable to use 802.11n protection. 802.11n protection gives priority to 802.11n devices in

mixed mode (11b/g or 11a) networks.

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.

Wireless Client Isolation

If enabled, the Wireless Client Isolation 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

This sets the output of the wireless signal. Because the wireless transmission output and

signal distance range are nearly proportional, when the wireless transmission output is

reduced, the signal distance range also becomes shorter.

WMM Settings

Check

Display

to set priorities only for a specific communication.

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.

Admission Control

Restricts new frames from interfering with a previous queue. New packets are prioritized

lower until a queue of them is collected. As the new queue accumulates more packets,

its priority increases.
