By observing their status, you can judge whether the device runs normally. The following table describes the LED indicators on the front panel. LED Color Status Description Red On Power is on. Green On The device runs normally. - Off Power is off or the device is down. Green On Radio switch is turned on. Green Blink Data is being transmitted.
Green Blink Negotiation is in progress under Wi-Fi Protected Setup. - Off Wi-Fi Protected Setup is disabled. Green On Connection succeeds. Green Blink Data is being transmitted. - Off No WAN connection. LAN Green On LAN connection succeeds. 1/2/3/4 Green Blink Data is being transmitted. - Off No LAN connection. WAN 2.
accept the negotiation of PBC mode. Note: Do not press the Reset button unless you want to clear the current settings. The Reset button is in a small circular hole on the rear panel. If you want to restore the default settings, please press the Reset button gently for 3 seconds with a fine needle inserted into the hole and then release the button. The system reboots and returns to the factory defaults. Warning: The power specification is 12V, 500 mA.
2.4 Operation Range The operation range of GR-534W depends on the actual environment. When the device is placed in the house or in the office, the overall arrangements are different. So the path and effect for the signal transmission are different. For example, the outdoor straight transmission distance for some devices in the open air is up to 300 meters, and the indoor straight transmission distance is up to 100 meters. 2.5 Roaming Suppose that several GR-534Ws run in the same network.

chance for all the devices. When each priority queue waits for sending packets, it has to wait a fixed time AIFSN and a random time CW. They define time values by multiple time slots. For 802.11b, its time slot is 20ms. The time slot of 802.11a and 802.11g is 9 ms. CW insures the random delay time of DCF, so that the packets collision among the devices with the same access category can be avoided. If collision occurs, CW is doubled until it exceeds its maximum value.
The parameters on this page are described as follows: Field Aifsn Description Aifsn (Arbitrary Inter-Frame Space Number). This parameter influences the delay time of WMM access category. If you use voice or video service, you’d better set this parameter to be smaller in the fields of AC_VI and AC_VO. If it is E-mail or Web service, you should set a bigger value in the fields of AC_BE and AC_BK. Cwmin Cwmin (Mini. Contention Window) also influences the delay time of WMM access category.
