Please follow the following instructions to use AirLive Wireless configuration utility to connect to wireless
access point.
1. Right-click the AirLive Wireless configuration utility icon located at lower-right corner of computer desktop,
then click ‘Launch Config Utilities’.
2. Configuration utility will scan for all wireless access points automatically. Scan results will be displayed
here, please check if the wireless access point with the SSID (the name of wireless access point) you
preferred is shown here.
If the wireless access point you wish to connect does not show here, please click ‘Rescan’ to try again,
until the one you preferred is displayed. You may have to click ‘Rescan’ for more than two times before

Here are descriptions of every fields:
SSID: The Service Set IDentifier of wireless access point or other network device. You can think it as the
name of access point of wireless device.
BSSID: The MAC address of wireless access point or other network device. Unlike SSID, BSSID of every
access point or network device is unique, and will not be the same with others. So you can identify a
single access point or wireless device from others by BSSID, if they all have the same SSID.
Signal: Shows the signal strength of access point or wireless device. Larger number means better radio
strength, which often means you’re not too far from that access point or wireless device.
Channel: Shows the channel number that access point or wireless device uses.
Encryption: Shows the encryption method that access point or wireless device uses. If the wireless
access point does not enable encryption, you’ll see ‘None’ displayed here.
Tips:
Wireless access point (Infrastructure) is a network device which
acts as a bridge, to let wired and wireless network devices
communicate with each other.
AdHoc is another connection type. A computer or network device
can build a direct wireless link with other computer or network
device directly, without the help of wireless access point.
HELP
OK

Authentication: Shows the authentication mode that access point or wireless device uses. If the wireless
access point does not require authentication, you’ll see ‘Unknown’ displayed here.
Network Type: Shows the type of wireless connection. If it’s a wireless access point, ‘Infrastructure’ will be
displayed here; if it’s a computer or network device, ‘Ad Hoc’ will be displayed here.
3. Click the wireless access point or network device you wish to connect, it will be highlighted, then click
‘Connect’.
If the access point you selected does not enable encryption (The content of ‘Encryption’ field of the
access point you selected is ‘None’, you’ll be connected to this wireless access point within one minute.
Please jump to step 6.
If the access point you selected enables encryption, please proceed to next step.

4. If the wireless access point does not have SSID, you’ll be prompted to input it here. Please ask the owner
of wireless access point and input the exact SSID here, then click ‘OK’ when ready. If the SSID you
provided here is wrong, you’ll not be able to connect to this access point.
If the wireless access point you selected have SSID, please skip this step.

5. If the wireless access point uses encryption, you have to input WEP passphrase or WPA preshared key.
Please ask the owner of the wireless access point you want to connect, and input the correct passphrase
/ preshared key here, then click ‘OK’. If the value you inputted here is wrong, you will not be able to
connect to this wireless access point.
Authentication type is selected automatically, please don’t change it.
If the access point you selected does not enable encryption and does not require authentication,
please skip this step.
