Common Problems
• Out of range, client cannot connect to the AirStation.
• Con
fi
guration mismatch, client cannot connect to the AirStation.
• Absence or con
fl
ict with the Client Driver.
• Con
fl
ict of another device with the AirStation hardware.
LED Activity
Monitoring LED activity helps identify problems.
• Power LED should be Green,
• Wireless LED should be Green if the line is active.
If is it blinking Green, wireless
communication is active.
• Ethernet LED should be Green (100Mbps) or Amber (10Mbps) while the communication
is active.
• The Red Diag LED will
fl
ash during boot and
fi
rmware updates.
DIAG LED Activity
Unplug the power for three seconds. Plug the power back in to monitor the Diag LEDs
during start-up.

LEDs Work But Client PC Cannot Connect to Network
If the LEDs indicate that the network is working properly (Power LED is on, Transmit/
Receive LED blinks), check the TCP/IP settings of the network.
Changing Client TCP/IP Settings in Windows
Consult the LAN Administrator for correct TCP/IP settings.
To add or change TCP/IP Settings:
1. On the Windows task bar, click Start.
2. Select Settings, then Control Panel.
3. Double-click on the Network icon to view Network Properties.
4. From the list of installed components, verify the TCP/IP => wireless LAN adapter
protocol is installed.

Your AirStation’s WDS bridging capability allows you to extend the size of your wireless network
by adding additional AirStations, all connected wirelessly.
In this simple example, we’ll connect two AirStations in a wireless bridge.
You may use these
same steps to add additional bridges for greater coverage.
*
For easiest con
fi
guration, we recommend con
fi
guring all components in close proximity before
deploying them to their
fi
nal positions.
Wired connections make initial con
fi
guration even
simpler.
The
fi
rst AirStation will be the router that
receives the internet connection.
On the bottom
of the AirStation, make sure that the switch
is set to “AUTO”.
If desired, you may connect
the Ethernet cable from your cable or DSL
modem to its WAN port now, though this is not
necessary for con
fi
guration.
Power on the
fi
rst
AirStation.
The second AirStation will be con
fi
gured as a
repeater/bridge.
Make sure that its switch is
set to “BRI”.
Use a RJ-45 cat5 Ethernet cable to
connect LAN ports of the two AirStations.
Power
up the second AirStation.
