The AirTies Air4240 is an IEEE 802.11b/g compliant, 54 Mbps wireless communication
device that can be used as a Wireless Access Point, Repeater, or a Router.
You can connect the AirTies Air4240 to a wired modem or router through one of the Ethernet
ports to setup a wireless local network and enable your wireless computers to access the
Internet.
As a repeater, the Air4240 makes it possible to extend the coverage area of a wireless
network. AirTies Mesh Technology is used for this purpose.
The AirTies Mesh Technology resolves problems such as loss of wireless signal or limited
coverage area often encountered in multiple-story or reinforced concrete buildings. To
extend your wireless coverage, all you need to do is to add new Air4240 devices to your
wireless network and set them to function as repeaters. Computers on the network connect
to the Air4240 with the strongest signal, and reach the router or the wired network through
the AirTies Mesh Network.
• For installation and conguration: a PC that has an Ethernet interface or 802.11 b/g/n
compatible wireless capability, and is running any version of Windows, UNIX, Linux or
Mac Operating Systems and a Web browser
• For the AirTies ADSL Utility: 32 bit Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista

DNS (Domain Name Service) is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP
addresses. For example, when you try to go to the www.airties.com address, rst your
Internet service provider’s DNS will try to translate it to the corresponding IP address. The
DNS system is, in fact, its own network. If one DNS server doesn’t know how to translate
a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, all the way to the main InterNIC
DNS server, until the correct address is returned. Most service providers will provide
Domain Name services for security and speed.
Go to DNS Setup under the INTERNET menu of your device’s Web interface. Check the
“Use ISP assigned DNS Servers” checkbox if you’d like to use the DNS servers assigned
by your Service Provider. If you prefer to use DNS servers of your choice, do not check this
box, and enter the IP address(es) of the server(s) you would like to use in the “201.11.43.11”

AirTies Mesh Technology resolves the signal loss and limited coverage area problems often
encountered in multi-story, concrete buildings. To extend wireless coverage area, one or
more AirTies Wireless Access Point devices functioning in repeater mode are connected to
your device to set up a “Mesh Network”.
The Wireless Access Points communicate with each other via the Mesh protocol and boost
the signal wherever the signal strength is low, thus, increasing wireless range. Computers
connect to the access point with the strongest signal and get to the router over the Mesh
Network. In this way, the weak signal or dead spots due to barriers such as concrete walls
are eliminated and the coverage area can be expanded to the maximum.

1. Go to Wireless Setup under the WIRELESS menu of the Web interface. Select a
channel for your “Mesh Network” to operate in (it is recommended that you use one
of channels “1”, “6”, or “11”) from the ones listed in the “Channel” eld. You should
select the same channel on all the wireless access point devices that form the “Mesh
Network”.
To setup a Mesh Network with your device:
2. Go to MESH under the WIRELESS menu of the Web interface. In the “Mesh Settings”
screen that comes up, click the “Search AP” button.
3. When you click the “Search AP” button, the Air 4240 will start searching for wireless
access points to connect to within its range and list the access points detected.
4. Check the box for the access point(s) that you would like your device to setup a Mesh
connection with. Select only those access points that have a signal level of “Average” or
better. Click “Save” to complete the Mesh settings of your device.
5. The same Mesh settings should be made on all the AirTies access points selected
above. You can nd detailed information about Mesh settings for each type of access
point device in their respective user manuals.
Important: All AirTies devices that form the Mesh Network should operate on the same
channel.

A rewall prevents unauthorized Internet users from accessing your local network and
computer.
AirTies Firewall has SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) feature. SPI monitors the protocol and
packet addresses being received to determine if the information should be passed through
the rewall to the connected computers. Internet addresses that are a source of malicious
attacks are permanently blocked from accessing your network.
You can also limit or block the Internet access of any local user by dening advanced rules
for Internet access.
The following sections describe the submenus under the FIREWALL menu of the Web
interface.
