1.2 Product Description
Flexible and Reliable Outdoor Characteristics
With the passive PoE design, the AirMax5X II(outdoor wireless CPE) can be easily installed in the areas where
power outlets are not available. The outdoor wireless CPE is definitely suitable for wireless IP surveillance, and
br idge link of building to building and backbone of public service. Additionally, the self-healing capability keeps
connection alive all the time. With the IP65-rated outdoor enclosure, the outdoor wireless CPE can perform
normally under rigorous weather conditions, meaning it can be installed in any harsh, outdoor environments
Designed for Various Requirements
The outdoor wireless CPE is specially designed for long-distance outdoor surveillance and wireless backhaul
solutions that are capable of establishing stable bridge connection through the embedded antenna. To provide
maximum performance, the outdoor wireless CPE can implement up to AP/Repeater operation modes where a
multitude of applications in communities, warehouses, campuses, harbors, etc. can be made.

Multiple SSIDs with VLAN Tagging
The outdoor wireless CPE supports WPA/WPA2, and the 802.1X RADIUS authentication to secure the wireless
connection. Besides, the supported IEEE 802.1Q VLAN allows multiple VLAN tags to be mapped to multiple
SSIDs to distinguish the wireless access. This makes it possible for the outdoor wireless CPE to work with
managed Ethernet switches to have VLANs assigned to a different access level and authority.
3 Simple Steps to Set Up Point to Point/Point to Multi-Point
Without needing to enter the Web interface for configuration, the outdoor wireless CPE needs three simplesteps
to establishthe PtP/PtMP connection without any difficulty. By just clicking the Pair button on the AirMax5X II and
within 2 minutes,you can connect two AirMax5X IIs without complicated configuration.

Optimized Efficiency in AP Management
The brand-new GUI configuration wizard helps the system administrator easily set up the outdoor wireless CPE
step by step. Besides, the built-in Wi-Fi analyzer provides real-time channel utilization to prevent channel
overlapping to assure greater performance. With the automatic transmission power mechanism, distance control
and scheduling reboot setting, the outdoor wireless CPE is easier for the administrator to deploy and manage
without on-site maintenance. Moreover, you can simply use AirLive AP Controller, to deliver wireless profiles to
multiple APs simultaneously, thus making the central management simple.

Chapter 3. Connecting to theCPE
1. System Requirements
◼Broadband Internet Access Service (Cable/xDSL/Ethernet connection)
◼Passive PoE 48V(supply power to the AirMax5X II/2XII)
◼PCs with a working Ethernet adapter and an Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors
◼PCs running Windows 98/ME, NT4.0, 2000/XP, Windows Vista / Win 7, MAC OS 9 or later, Linux,
UNIX or other platforms compatible with TCP/IP protocols
1. The CPE in the following instructions refers to AirLive AirMax5X II.
2. It is recommended to use Internet Explorer 11, Firefox or Chrome to access the CPE.
3.2 Installing the CPE
Before installing the CPE, make sure your PoE switch is connected to the Internet through the broadband service
successfully at this moment. If there is any problem, please contactyour local ISP.

Chapter 4. Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your CPE within minutes.
A computer with wired Ethernet connectionto the Wireless CPE is required for the first-time
configuration.
4.1 Manual Network Setup -- TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the AirMax5X II is 192.168.1.253. And the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
These values can be changed as you want. In this guide, we use all the default values for description.
Connect the AirMax5X II with your PC by an Ethernet cable plugging in LAN port on one side and in LAN port of
PC on the other side. Please power on the AirMax5X II by PoE switch throughthe PoE port.
In the following sections, we’ll introduce how to install and configure the TCP/IP correctly in Windows 10. And
the procedures in other operating systems are similar. First, make sure your Ethernet Adapter is working, and
refer to the Ethernet adapter manual if needed.
Configuring the IP Address Manually
Summary:
◼Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC.
◼Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx (If the default IP address of the
AirMax5X II is 192.168.1.253,and the DSL router is 192.168.1.254, the "xxx" can be configured to any
number from 1 to 252.) and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
1Select Use the following IP address, and then configure the IP address of the PC.
2For example,as the default IP address of the AirMax5X II is 192.168.1.253and the DSL router is
192.168.1.254, you may choose from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.252.

Now click OK to save your settings.
Now, you can run the ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection between your
PC and the AP.The following example is in Windows 10 OS. Please follow the steps below:
1. Click on Start > Run.
2. Type “cmd” in the Searchbox.

Figure 4-2 Windows StartMenu
3. Open a command prompt, type ping 192.168.1.253 and then press Enter.
If the result displayed is similar to Figure 4-3, it means the connection between your PC and the AP
has been established well.
Figure 4-3 Successful Result of Ping Command

User Manual of AirMax5X II
If the result displayed is similar to Figure 4-4, it means the connection between your PC and the AP
has failed.
Figure 4-4 Failed Result of Ping Command
If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your AP.Some
firewall software programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters.

4.2 Starting Setup in the Web UI
It is easy to configure and manage the CPE with the web browser.
Step 1. To access the configuration utility, open a web-browser and enter the default IP address
http://192.168.1.253 in the web address field of the browser.
Figure 4-5 Login by Default IPAddress
After a moment, a login window will appear. Enter admin for the password in lower case letters. Then click
LOGIN or press the Enter key.
Figure 4-6 LoginWindow
Default IP Address:192.168.1.253
Default ID/Password:admin
If the above screen does not pop up, it may mean that your web-browser has been set to a
proxy. Go to Tools menu> Internet Options> Connections> LAN Settings on the screen that
appears, uncheck Using Proxy and click OK to finish it.
