194 Wireless Modes of operation Besides streaming audio around your home, the Music Bridge can be used as a wireless access point. You can also use the Music Bridge as an Ethernet bridge and connect a computer to the Ethernet port for wireless access to your router. By default, the AirLink101 Music Bridge is configured as an Access Point. To change your networking settings quickly and easily, you can go to the Wireless Audio Center and run the Setup Wizard. If you want to configure advanced settings or even change the mode of operation, you can use the web-based utility. 4.1 Access Point When acting as an access point, this device connects all the stations (computers with wireless network adapters) to a wired network. Stations will only have Internet access if the Access Point is connected to the Internet- see the example below. To set the operation mode to Access Point, open the web utility and go to “Wireless J Basic Settings”, and in the “Mode” field click the down arrow to select AP mode. 4.2 Client Mode When in Client mode, AirLink101 Music Bridge can work like a wireless station, where it allows a computer to send data from its wired connection to a wireless network. Refer to the illustration below. Through AirLink101 Music Bridge AP1, Computer 1 can communicate with another Access Point (AP2), and reach the Internet if AP2 is connected to it. To set the operation mode to Client Mode, access the Web configuration tool and go to “Wireless J Basic Settings”, and in the “Mode” field, click the down arrow to select Client mode. Also, under “Network Type”, select “Infrastructure”.

215 Advanced Network Configuration Advanced networking options can be configured through the Web Utility. This utility can be accessed in two ways: 1. Open the Wireless Audio Center and click on the hammer icon under the Status bar (see right). 2. The second way is to open your web browser and type in the IP address that the AirLink101 Music Bridge has been assigned. If you don’t know what this address is, If you cannot access the web utility: 1. If you don’t have an Ethernet cable between the AirLink101 Music Bridge and your computer, connect one between the two. 2. Make sure your computer’s networking card is set on the same subnet as the AirLink101 Music Bridge, i.e. 192.168.1.xxx. These settings can be verified from “Network Connections” in the Windows Control Panel. If you chose to set up the AirLink101 Music Bridge automatically (using DHCP), you don’t need to worry about this. Start your Web browser. In the Address box, enter the AirLink101 Music Bridge’s IP address. If you don’t know what it is, try the default value, http://192.168.1.210 The Web Utility is divided into four sections: Status, Wireless, TCP/IP, and Other Settings. Each section is described below: 5.1 Setup Wizard The Setup Wizard provides a quick setup of the AirLink101 Music Bridge networking options. This Wizard is not as friendly as the one in the Wireless Audio Center, but allows you to configure more advanced options. Step 1 Click Setup Wizard from the menu on the left and then click Next to begin the Wizard.

24AirLink101 Music Bridge device. Wireless Configuration Mode There are two modes supported: Access Point and Client Band Shows the wireless band that is being used. SSID The SSID differentiates wireless networks from each other. Therefore, all access points and devices attempting to connect to a network must use the same SSID. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. A device will not be permitted to join the network unless it can provide the unique SSID. The SSID is also referred to as a “network name”. Channel Number The number of channels supported depends on the where in the world you are using the AirLink101 Music Bridge. All stations communicating with the Access Point must use the same channel. Encryption Encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is set to Disabled by default. When WPA, WPA2, or WEP are enabled, data is encrypted before being transmitted onto the network. This prevents data packets from being eavesdropped by attackers and snoopers. By using encryption, there may be a reduction of data throughput on the wireless link. BSSID BSSID displays the ID of the current Basic Service Set (BSS), which uniquely identifies each network. If AirLink101 Music Bridge is in AP mode, this value is its MAC address. Associated Clients Displays the total number of clients associated to this device. You can have up to 64 clients associating to a device at once.

Don’t adjust these settings unless you know exactly what you’re doing.
27 Authentication Type To provide a certain level of security, the IEEE 802.11 standard has defined two types of authentication methods, Open System and Shared Key. With Open System authentication, a wireless PC can join any network and receive messages that are not encrypted. With Shared Key authentication, only those PCs that possess the correct authentication key can join the network. By default, IEEE 802.11 wireless devices operate in an Open System network. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption is used when the wireless devices are configured to operate in Shared Key authentication mode. If the Access Point is using Open System mode, the wireless adapters on the network will need to be set to the same authentication mode. Shared Key is used when both the sender and the recipient share a secret key. Select Auto for the network adapter to select
28the Authentication mode automatically. Fragment Threshold Fragmentation is used for improving efficiency when there is a lot of network traffic. If your 802.11g Wireless Adapter often transmits large files into the wireless network, you can enter a new Fragment Threshold value to split the packet. The value can be set from 256 to 2346. The default value is 2346. RTS Threshold RTS Threshold is implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node” problem. A “Hidden Node” results when two stations are within range of the same Access Point, but are not within range of each other. Therefore, they are hidden from each other. When a station starts communication with the Access Point, it might not notice that the other station is already using the wireless medium. When these two stations send data at the same time, they might collide when arriving simultaneously at the Access Point. The collision will most certainly result in a loss of messages for both stations. Thus, the RTS Threshold mechanism provides a solution to prevent data collisions. When you enable RTS Threshold on a suspect “hidden station”, this station and its Access Point will use a Request to Send (RTS). The station will send an RTS to the Access Point, informing that it is going to transmit the data. Upon receipt, the Access Point will respond with a CTS message to tell all stations within range to defer transmission. It will also confirm to the requesting station that the Access Point has reserved it for the time-frame of the requested transmission. If the “Hidden Node” problem is an issue, please specify the packet size. The RTS mechanism will be activated if the data size exceeds the value you set.. The default value is 2347*. Warning: Enabling RTS Threshold will cause some network overhead that could negatively affect network performance
29instead of providing a remedy. *This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications of this value are recommended.Beacon Interval Beacon Interval is the amount of time between beacon transmissions. Before a station enters power saving mode, the station needs the beacon interval to know when to wake up to receive the beacon (and learn whether there are buffered frames for it at the access point). Data Rate By default, the AirLink101 Music Bridge adaptively selects the highest possible rate for transmission. Select the basic rates to be used among the following options: Auto, 1, 2, 5.5, 11or 54 Mbps. For most networks the default setting is Auto, which is usually the best choice. If obstacles or interference are present in Auto mode, the system will automatically fall back to a lower rate. Preamble Type A preamble is a signal used in a wireless environment to synchronize the transmission timing, including start and synchronization frame delimiters. In a "noisy" environment, the Preamble Type should be set to Long Preamble. The Short Preamble type is intended for applications where minimum overhead and maximum performance are desired. If in a "noisy" network environment, the performance will be decreased. Broadcast SSID Enable this to allow all the wireless stations to detect the SSID of this Access Point. IAPP IAPP (Inter-Access Point Protocol) is designed for the enforcement of a unique association throughout a ESS (Extended Service Set). It also provides a secure exchange of a station’s security context between the current access point (AP) and the new AP during the handoff period. 802.11g Protection The 802.11g standard includes a protection mechanism to ensure mixed 802.11b and 802.11g operation. If this mechanism isn’t enabled, devices using the two standards may interfere with each other and decrease
30the network’s performance. Apply Change Click this button to save your settings. Reset Click to discard the settings you have entered. 5.3.3 Security Here you can configure the security of your wireless network. If you are using the AirLink101 Music Bridge on an existing network, you will probably have a security scheme already set up, which you should follow here. If you are setting up a new network, you can configure the security however you like. It is suggested that you use encryption to prevent eavesdropping of sensitive data (email, online banking, etc) that may be on your network. Please note, however, that by using encryption, there may be a significant drop in data throughput on the network. Encryption: None This is the default value, and provides no extra level of security Encryption: WEP Warning: There are well-documented flaws with WEP encryption. It is recommended that you use a stronger type of encryption, like WPA or WPA2. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a form of encryption that requires a 5 or 10-digit key to be entered. If WEP is selected, you will have to distribute the WEP key either manually (by entering it into each device on the network), or by selecting to Use 802.1x
31Authentication to have a RADIUS server issue the WEP key dynamically. For most home users, you will have to enter the WEP key manually on each device that joins the network Set WEP key  Clicking the Set WEP Keys button will prompt you with a new window. Here, select a 128-bit key for higher security.  Select HEX if you are using hexadecimal numbers (0-9, or A-F). Select ASCII if you are using ASCII characters (case-sensitive).  Ten hexadecimal digits or five ASCII characters are needed if 64-bit WEP is used; 26 hexadecimal digits or 13 ASCII characters are needed if 128-bit WEP is used. Encryption: WPA/WPA2 WPA/WPA2: If WPA is selected, users will have to choose between two modes of authentication: Enterprise (RADIUS) and Personal (Pre-shared Key). Home users will want to use Personal.
32 Pre-shared Key The pre-shared-key serves as a password for the network. Enter an 8-63 letter password, and ensure that the same password is used on all other clients on the network. There are two formats for setting the Pre-shared key, Passphrase and Hex. If Hex is selected, users will have to enter a 64-letter key. For easier configuration, the Passphrase (at least 8 characters) format is recommended. Group Key Life Time Enter the number of seconds that will elapse before the group key changes automatically. The default is 86400 seconds. Enable Pre-Authentication Pre-authentication provides a way to establish a Pair-wise Master Key (PMK) before a client associates with the network. The advantage is that the client reduces the time that it takes to join the network. Authentication RADIUS Server Port: Enter the RADIUS Server’s port number provided by your ISP. The default is 1812. IP Address: Enter the RADIUS Server’s IP Address provided by your ISP. Password: Enter the password that the AP shares with the RADIUS Server.
