    Chapter 2 - Placing Your AirStation

    Antenna PlacementRemove the antenna caps and attach the antennas. Don’t touch the conductive parts of the antenna connectors because they can be damaged easily.

    Note: These antennas support both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.

    Installation

    Connecting to PoE Equipment (Sold Separately)If PoE (Power over Ethernet) is available on the network, you may not need to use the AC power supply. Instead, connect LAN port 1 to an Ethernet connection with PoE as shown below. Do not connect the AC power supply if you’re using PoE.

    Notes: · LAN port 2 does not support PoE. Don’t connect PoE equipment to LAN port 2. · You may supply power to the AirStation with PoE or the AC adapter. Do not connect both at once!

    If the ceiling is made from plaster board or other material that does not provide enough strength, be sure to reinforce the ceiling before mounting the AirStation. The �gure above shows an example when using the supplied screws (large) for attaching the wall-mounting �xture. The thickness and size of the reinforcement piece varies depending on the screw size that you use. For details, please consult with a specialized contractor with building experience or the dealer where you made the purchase.

    Mounting the AirStation on a Ceiling or WallThe AirStation can be mounted to a ceiling or wall. The location where you mount the AirStation should meet these requirements:

    · Mount in a location with an ambient temperature range from 0° C (32° F) to 45° C (113° F), humidity from 10% to 90%, and no condensation.

    · Do not bring the AirStation into close contact with other devices, other walls, or other objects. · Do not mount on wobbly surfaces, slanted surfaces, or other unstable locations. · Do not mount in locations that are exposed to direct sunlight, heat sources, or electromagnetic waves. · Mount in a firm and stable position. If the AirStation is not properly mounted, it can fall and cause an

    accident.

    Use the supplied accessories below to mount the AirStation to the ceiling or wall.

    Ceiling-mounting screws (large) Wall-mounting screws (medium)

    Note: The ceiling where the AirStation is mounted must be capable of supporting a weight of at least 1.5 kg (3lb 5oz). If the ceiling does not have sufficient strength, be sure to reinforce the ceiling before securing the AirStation to it. If the ceiling is not reinforced, the AirStation can fall and cause an injury.

    If the screws cannot be properly secured to the wall, such as when the wall material is thin, open holes in the wall beforehand, embed the wall-mounting anchor into the wall, and then secure with the screws.

    Guard Interval Changes the encoding format during frame sending.“Long GI” arranges the encoding with a certain amount of (time) spacing to prevent interference by the encoded information.“Short GI” shortens this interval to enable sending of more information.

    802.11g Protection Sets whether 802.11g protection is used.If 802.11g protection is used, communication by 11g standard devices can be given priority even in environments where 11g standard and 11b standard wireless LAN devices coexist.This option is not available in 802.11a.

    802.11n Protection Sets whether 802.11n protection is used.If 802.11n protection is used, collisions and other adverse effects on performance can be reduced even in environments where devices using previous standards (11a, 11b, 11g) coexist.

    DTIM Period Sets the interval that the AirStation sends information about power management to the wireless device. Larger values reduce the number of chances by the wireless device to obtain the information, and so while this enables reduced power consumption by the wireless device, it also results in a slower response.This setting is ignored if the power management setting in the wireless device (computer) is not enabled.

    RTS Threshold This performs a RTS/CTS process before sending frames with a size that exceeds the threshold value. This enables improved reliability in frame transfer when the surrounding environment is poor, where separated from the AirStation by considerable distance, or other adverse conditions.

    802.11aAuto, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, or 54 Mbps can be selected.

    Because the multicast communication speed and coverage distance are inversely proportional to each other, this setting is recommended only when necessary.

    Tx Power Sets the signal transmission output when the AirStation performs wireless transmission.

    Beacon Interval Sets the interval for sending beacons.If the beacon send interval is long, wireless communication performance may be improved, but the capability of the wireless device to detect the AirStation will be reduced.Normally, usage at the default value is recommended.

    Station Keepalive Specifies the interval for confirming whether the AirStation is connected to the connected wireless device.Normally, this setting can be used at the default value (60), but in some wireless devices, setting a larger value enables more stable communication and reduced power consumption.When set to 0, the connection is not confirmed by the AirStation, but in environments where a large unspecified number of wireless devices are connected, a new wireless device may be unable to make a connection.

    SM Power Save This function enables reduced power consumption in devices when communicating with 11n standard wireless devices that have two or more transmission systems (11n2x or later).If “Enabled (Static)” is selected, communication with the AirStation always uses one transmission system. Because power does not need to be supplied to other transmission systems, this enables maximum power efficiency.If “Enabled (Dynamic)” is selected, the AirStation can request the receiving wireless device to use the second or later transmission system if needed. Unless it is needed, power does not need to be supplied to more than one transmission system, and this enables the providing of both high-speed communication and power saving.

    CWmin, CWmaxThis sets the maximum and minimum values of the contention window. The contention window is used in the frame collision avoidance mechanism that is performed in IEEE802.11, and generally, smaller values in the window result in a higher likelihood that the queue will obtain sending rights.

    AifsnSets the frame sending interval. The units are slots (same as window value defined in CWmin and CWmax). Smaller frame sending intervals enable earlier start times for the backoff algorithm, and so this results in a higher priority for the queue.

    TxopThis shows the time that can be assigned when the queue obtains sending rights. One unit is 32 ms. Longer times enables the transfer of more frames by the sending rights obtained at one time, but this also harms the realtime responsiveness of other queues.

    Chapter 4 - Connect to a Wireless Network

    Automatic Secure Setup (AOSS/WPS)AOSS and WPS are systems that enable you to automatically configure wireless LAN settings. Just pressing the buttons will connect wireless devices and complete security settings. Use them to automatically connect wireless devices, computers, or game machines which support AOSS or WPS.

    AOSS (AirStation One-Touch Secure System) was developed by Buffalo Technology. WPS was created by the Wi-Fi Alliance.

    • Before using AOSS or WPS to connect the Buffalo wireless client to the computer, download Client Manager or AOSS Assistant from the Buffalo web site, and install it.

    • Buffalo’s Client Manager software can be used with the wireless LAN devices built into most computers. However, it is not guaranteed to work with all wireless LAN devices available. Some wireless clients may require manual setup.
