1. Introduction
Firmware upgradeable.
1.3 Wireless Operation Modes
A group of wireless stations communicating with each other is called a Basic Service Set
(BSS) and is identified by a unique SSID.
When a WHA-5500CPE is used, it can be configured to operate in the following network
configurations.
1.3.1 Access Point Mode
When configured in the Access Point mode, the WHA-5500CPE allows a group of wireless
stations to communicate with each other through it. Such a network is called an
Infrastructure BSS.
The WHA-5500CPE further provides bridging functions between the wireless network and
the wired LAN network.
When multiple access points are connected to the same LAN segment, stations can roam
from one WHA-5500CPE to another without losing their connections, as long as they are
using the same SSID. See the diagram below.
AirLive WHA-5500CPE User’s Manual 2

1. Introduction
1.3.2 Repeater Mode
In Repeater mode, the WHA-5500CPE set as a repeater extends the range of wireless
LAN.
1.3.3 WDS Bridge Mode
When configured to operate in the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Mode, the
WHA-5500CPE provides bridging functions between the LAN behind it and separates
LANs behind other APs’ operating in the WDS mode. The system will support up to eight
APs in a WDS configuration.
Note that a WHA-5500CPE runs in the WDS mode can also support wireless stations
simultaneously. See the diagram below:

1. Introduction
1.3.4 Client Infrastructure Mode
In Client Infrastructure mode, the WHA-5500CPE is connected to a computer and acts like
a wireless station, so that the computer can wirelessly access the other network’s services,
such as Internet.
1.3.5 Client Ad Hoc Mode
In Client Ad Hoc mode, WHA-5500CPE is connected to a computer and acts like a wireless
station, so that the computer can wirelessly share files and printers with other wireless
stations.
AirLive WHA-5500CPE User’s Manual 4

1. Introduction
1.3.6 WISP Router Mode
In WISP Router Mode, WHA-5500CPE is connected to several computers and acts like a
Client mode AP. With IP sharing function, the computers can share the WISP connection
via WHA-5500CPE.
1.4 Set up the device
The WHA-5500CPE can be managed remotely by a PC through either the wired or wireless
network. To do this, the WHA-5500CPE must first be assigned an IP address, which can be
done using one of the following two methods.
1.4.1 STATIC IP
The default IP address of the LAN interface of an WHA-5500CPE is a private IP address of
192.168.1.1, and a network mask of 255.255.255.0. This means IP addresses of other
devices on the LAN should be in the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.
This IP address can be modified to either a different address in this same subnet or to an
5 AirLive WHA-5500CPE User’s Manual

1. Introduction
address in a different subnet, depending on the existing network settings (if there is any) or
user’s preferences.
1.4.2 AUTOMATIC IP
The WHA-5500CPE can also be configured to “obtain” an IP address automatically from a
DHCP server on the network. This address is called “dynamic” because it is only
dynamically assigned to the device, which may change depends on the IP assignment
policy used by the DHCP server on the network. Since the IP address in this case may
change from time to time, this method is not recommended - unless the user uses UPnP or
other management tools that do not depend on a fixed IP address.

2.3 Configuration steps
This section describes configuration required for the WHA-5500CPE before it can work
properly in your network.
First, it is assumed that in your LAN environment, a separate DHCP server will be available
for assigning dynamic (and often private) IP addresses to requesting DHCP clients.
Additionally, since you need to perform various configuration changes to the
WHA-5500CPE, including the SSID, Channel number, the WEP key, …, etc., it is
necessary to associate a fixed IP address with the WHA-5500CPE, which is why the
WHA-5500CPE will be shipped with a factory default private IP address of 192.168.1.1
(and a network mask of 255.255.255.0).
Therefore, during the system installation time, you need to build an isolated environment
with the WHA-5500CPE and a PC, and then perform the following steps:
Step 1. Manually change the IP address of the PC to become 192.168.1.3.
Step 2. Connect the PC to the WHA-5500CPE via PoE and change its configuration to a
static IP address based on your network environment. For example, if there is a
DHCP server that assigns IP addresses from the range 192.168.23.10 -
192.168.23.254 to DHCP client devices, it can reserve 192.168.23.10 for the
WHA-5500CPE and then the address pool with the DHCP server becomes
192.168.23.11 – 192.168.23.254.
If there is no DHCP server on your network environment, you just have to make
sure that there is no machine in the environment has the same IP address as
another machine.
Please note that after you change the IP address of the ACCESS POINT, the PC
client may not be able to reach the ACCESS POINT. This is because they may no
longer belong to the same IP network address space.
Step 3. Change the setting of the PC back to “obtain IP addresses dynamically”.
Now you can put the WHA-5500CPE and the PC to your network where the DHCP
server is connected. From then on, any wireless client configured to “obtain IP

addresses dynamically” will work with the AP, with each other, and with devices on
the wired LAN network.
2.4 Set up a wireless client as a DHCP client
The following will give detailed steps of how to configure a PC or a wireless client to “obtain
IP addresses automatically”.
In the case of using a LAN attached PC, the PC must have an Ethernet interface installed
properly, be connected to the WHA-5500CPE either directly or through an external LAN
switch, and have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address automatically
from a DHCP server in the network.
In the case of using a wireless client, the client must also have an 802.11a wireless
interface installed properly, be physically within the radio range of the WHA-5500CPE, and
have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address automatically from a DHCP
server in the network.
Then perform the following steps for either of the cases above. To configure types of
workstations other than Windows 95/98/NT/2000, please consult the manufacturer’s
documentation.
Step 1. From the Win95/98/2000 Start Button, select Settings, then Control Panel. The
Win95/98/2000 Control Panel displays.
Step 2. Double-click on the Network icon.
Step 3. Check your list of Network Components in the Network window Configuration tab.
If TCP/IP has already been installed, go to Step 8. Otherwise, select Add to install
it now.
Step 4. In the new Network Component Type window, select Protocol. In the new Select
Network Protocol window, select Microsoft in the Manufacturers area.
Step 5. In the Network Protocols area of the same window, select TCP/IP, then click OK.
You may need your Win95/98 CD to complete the installation. After TCP/IP
installation is complete, go back to the Network window described in Step 4.
Step 6. Select TCP/IP in the list of Network Components.
Step 7. Click Properties, and check the settings in each of the TCP/IP Properties window:
Bindings Tab: both Client for Microsoft Networks and File and printer sharing
for Microsoft Networks should be selected. Gateway Tab: All fields should be
blank. DNS Configuration Tab: Disable DNS should be selected. IP Address
Tab: Obtain IP address automatically should be selected.
Step 8. With the WHA-5500CPE powered on, reboot the PC/wireless client. After the
PC/wireless client is re-booted, you should be ready to configure the
WHA-5500CPE. See Chapter 3.
The procedure required to set a static IP address is not too much different from the
procedure required to set to “obtain IP addresses dynamically” - except that at the end of
step 7, instead of selecting “obtain IP addresses dynamically, you should specify the IP
address explicitly.

3. Basic Configuration
This section describes the basic configuration procedure for the WHA-5500CPE. It
describes how to set up the WHA-5500CPE for wireless connections, and the configuration
of the local LAN environment. All basic configurations may be effected through a standard
Web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. From a PC that has been configured as
described in Chapter 2, enter the IP address of the WHA-5500CPE as the URL in your
browser, e.g. http://192.168.1.1.
The IP address of your PC must be in the same IP subnet as the
WHA-5500CPE.
The Home Page of the WHA-5500CPE screen will appear. Its main menu displays on the
right hand side of the window. The main menu includes the following choices: Setup Wizard,
Device Status, Advanced Settings, System Tools, and Help.
