1 Introduction
The AirLink101 Music Bridge is a network audio device and wireless Access Point. It
allows you to stream all of your audio content from your PC to speakers in your living
room or bedroom, in the glory of 5.1 surround sound.
As an audio device, AirLink101 Music Bridge is essentially a “wireless sound card”,
which plays back all of your computer’s audio. This means that, unlike other wireless
media players on the market, AirLink101 Music Bridge allows you to play your
copyright-protected music and audio from any program.
As a full-featured wireless router, AirLink101 Music Bridge provides WPA, WPA-
2/802.11i, or WEP encryption, giving you a high level of protection for your data and
privacy. The MAC Address filter prevents unauthorized devices from accessing your
wireless network, and a web-based utility is provided to allow you to easily make
changes to your networking settings.

4 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.

Band
SSID
Shows the wireless band that is being used.
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.

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
30

the 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

instead 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 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).
Beacon Interval
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.
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.
Preamble Type
Broadcast SSID
IAPP
Enable this to allow all the wireless stations to
detect the SSID of this Access Point.
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.
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

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

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.

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.
