IEEE802.11b/g With support for Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B standards, the AirStation can transfer data to and from all standard 2.4 GHz wireless clients. (WCR-GN is compatible with some Wireless-N features.) Dual speed mode Dual speed mode makes wireless transmission faster by using 2 channels, allowing 150Mbps data transmission. Support AOSS and WPS Both AOSS (AirStation One-touch Secure System) and WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) are supported. These automatic connection standards make connection with compatable wireless devices easier. Security Features The AirStation is equipped with following security features:
AOSS WPS WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES) WPA2-PSK(TKIP/AES) WPA/WPA2 mixed PSK WEP(128/64bit) Privacy Separator MAC address access restriction Deny Any Connection/SSID stealth feature Setting screen with password Firewall feature with easy rules Automatic Channel Selection Monitors wireless interference and automatically assigns the clearest, best channel. Roaming You can use multiple AirStations to cover a large area. Wireless clients can automatically switch AirStations for the best signal. WCR-GN User Manual 5 Chapter 1 Product Overview Initialization To restore settings back to the factory defaults, hold down the Reset button on the bottom of the unit. Browser Based Administration This unit can be easily configured from a web browser on your computer. Auto Mode (Router/Bridge Automatic Recognition) Auto mode detects whether your network has a router or not and automatically switches to the appropriate router or bridge mode. You can also manually switch between modes. (See page 10). Air Navigator CD Requirements The AirStation wireless router and access point works with most wired and wireless devices. The automatic installation program on the CD requires Windows 7, Vista or XP to run. Client Manager software is included for Windows Vista and XP. The use of other operating systems may require that the AirStation be manually configured from a browser window. 150 Mbps High Speed Mode 150 Mbps is for WCR-GN 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.

WCR-GN User Manual 45 Chapter 4 Configuration WMM The screen to set the priorities for specific communications the AirStation performs. WCR-GN User Manual 46 Chapter 4 Configuration Parameter Meaning 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 que 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.
