1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
AirLive WL-5460AP is an IEEE802.11b/g compliant 11 Mbps & 54 Mbps Ethernet Wireless
Access Point. The Wireless Access Point is equipped with two 10/100 M Auto-sensing
Ethernet ports for connecting to LAN and also for cascading to next WirelessAccess Point.
AirLive WL-5460AP provides 64/128bit WEP encryption, WPA and IEEE802.1x which
ensures a high level of security to protect users’ data and privacy. The MAC Address filter
prevents the unauthorized MAC Addresses from accessing your Wireless LAN. Your
network security is therefore double assured.
The web-based management utility is provided for easy configuration that your wireless
network connection is ensured to be always solid and hassle free.
Wireless Client Isolation
The WL-5460APv2 features the new Wireless Client Isolation function previous available
only in more expensive APs. When you enable this function, the wireless clients will not be
able to see each other. Therefore, it is an important function for office and Hotspot operator
to protect the security between different wireless users.
ACK Timeout and TX Power Regulation
The WL-5460APv2 features ACK timeout function to let you adjust the timeout value for
long distance operation. In addition, 5-level TX power adjustment let you match different
antennas for law compliance. The ability to set lower TX output power is also crucial if you
want to match the AP with external power amplifier.
Extended Security Features
The WL-5460APv2 support WEP, WPA and WPA2 security functions. In addition, WPA
enterprise for 802.1x authenticator are featured for AP and WDS mode. The combination of
Encryption, Hide SSID and Access Control ensures your wireless network is completely
secured from intruder.
Whether it's for office or home environment, the AirLive 802.11g family bring you the
maximum performance and security for today's high speed wireless network.

1.2 Firmware Features
AirLiveWirelessAPFirmwareFeatures
Firmwaree11:TheMostPowerfulAPFirmwareEver!

WL-5460AP
As the leading global WISP solution provider, AirLive understands the application
environments of WISP operators. As a result, we are constantly upgrading our AP’s
firmware to meet the changing demand of WISP operators. The latest E11 firmware adds
high end features not commonly found in the AP of this class. The AirLive multi-function
Access Points not only work for long distance application, they work much better than the
competitions.

8WirelessOperationModes
The AirLive WL-5460AP can
operate in 8 different wireless
modes. It can work as a
Wireless Router, AP, Client,
Repeater, Bridge, and much
more. Whether it is for home,
office, or WISP; theAirLiveAP
has a solution for you.
Up to 400mW of Output
Power*
AirLive’s high quality hardware let the
AP expand its RF output power up to
26dBm using South American
firmware. That’s 4 times the output
power of regular AP! It means much
greater distance and coverage.
*ForSouthAmericaonly.Notavailableforotherregions.

Traffic Control QoS Function
Traffic Control is a great tool to
control the bandwidth of the WISP
subscribers. Therefore, the WISP
operators can offer different class of
connection speeds for different
subscription fees - just like the ADSL
service! The AirLive advance
Traffic Control firmware can control the
bandwidth by Interface or IP/MAC.
Dynamic Signal Survey Function for Antenna Alignment
Having trouble align your antenna
correctly to the other outdoor AP?
The AirLive Wireless Signal Survey
function
tells you
the
receiving
signal
strength
dynamically as your antenna turns. It automatically refreshes itself in the process,
therefore, making antenna alignment much simpler than before.
Wireless Site Survey Connection Wizard
During a new WISP service
installation, the installer will need
to find out which outdoor AP
provide the best signal in the area
for connection. The AirLive
wireless site survey function
provides one step setup for this
process. First, the site survey
page shows whichAP has the
strongest the signal. Then the
installer performs antenna
alignment by using the signal survey function. At last, the installer simply clicks on

“connect” button to establish connection. The site survey is available even in AP mode, so
the installer can check the channels used by surrounding APs to avoid interferences.
Telnet Function
Some WISP operators prefer to
use CLI command line for
configurations. The latest e11
firmware provide full command
line feature via Telnet.
Wireless Client Isolation
AirLive firmware’s Client
Isolation function protects the
security and privacy of each
individual subscriber.
Therefore, subscriber does not
need to worry about hacker
attacks in the same wireless
network.
Emergency Recovery
How many times your machine
crashed and lost access
completely?
The AirLive’s Emergency web
server function means you can
recover your AP even during if the
machine failed during a firmware
upgrade. This greatly reduces
the service loading for WISP
operators.

D (Factory) Reset
Press over 3 seconds to reboot this device.
Press for over 10 seconds to restore factory settings.
Performing the Factory Reset will erase all previously
entered device settings.

1.3.3 Configuration Setups
The factory default settings of WL-5460AP are as following:
Settings Default Value
Device Name WL-5460AP
Radio 802.11b/g
SSID airlive
Channel 11
WEP Disabled
IP Address 192.168.100.252
DHCP Server Disabled. Available and default enabled when each of
the wireless is configured as a gateway.
DHCP IP Range 192.168.100.100 ~ 192.168.100.200

1.3.4 Hardware Connection
Note: Before you starting hardware connection, you are advised to find an appropriate
location to place the Access Point. Usually, the best place for the Access Point is at the
center of your wireless network, with line of straight to all your wireless stations. Also,
remember to adjust the antenna; usually the higher the antenna is placed; the better will be
the performance.
1. Connect to your local area network: connect an Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet
port (LAN1 or LAN2) of this Wireless Access Point, and the other end to a hub, switch,
router, or another wireless access point.
2. Power on the device: connect the included AC power adapter to the Wireless Access
Point’s power port and the other end to a wall outlet.

．Check the LED:
The Power and LAN # LED should be ON. LAN# LED will even blink if there is traffic.
The Link/Act LED will be on in static when associated with a station and blink whenever this
AP receives data packets in the air.
If the Status LED glows after self-test, it means the Wireless Access Point fails on self test.
Please ask your dealer for technical support.
1 Please make sure your computer IP is in the same subnet as the AP (i.e.
192.168.100.x).
2 Please make sure your computer has wireless network adapter installed.
3 Open the web browser and enter http://192.168.100.252/.
