AirLive WLA-5000AP v3 Firmware 2.x User’s Manual
1 1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
NOTE: For simplicity throughout this document, WLA-5000AP v3 Firmware 2.x will simply
be referred to as WLA-5000AP v3.
The WLA-5000AP v3 is a wireless access-point based on IEEE 802.11a/g 5-GHz and
2.4-GHz radio technologies. It contains an 802.11a/g wireless interface and one
half/full-duplex 10/100 LAN interface. WLA-5000AP v3, with the new 2.0 firmware,
features a total of 6 wireless modes: Access Point, WDS Repeater, WDS Bridge, Client
Infrastructure, Client Ad Hoc and WISP Router.
Since the 802.11g shares the same 2.4GHz radio band with the 802.11b technology, it can
interoperate with existing 802.11b (up to 11Mbps) devices. Therefore, you can reserve your
existing investment in 802.11b client cards, and migrate to the high-speed 802.11g
standard as your needs grow.
To address growing security concerns in a wireless LAN environment, different levels of
security can be enabled in WLA-5000AP v3:
To disable SSID broadcast to restrict association to only those client stations that are
already pre-configured with the correct SSID
To enable WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) 64, 128, or 152-bit encryption to protect
the privacy of your data.
Support of Access List Control to allow you to grant/deny access to/from specified
wireless stations
Provisioning of centralized authentication through RADIUS Server.
WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access, Pre-Shared Key) for home users to provide
authentication, data integrity, and data privacy.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) works with a RADIUS server to provide stronger
authentication as well as data integrity and privacy.
1.2 Features
Compliant with 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g, Super A™ and Super G™ standards
with roaming capability.
Supports 6 wireless multi-function modes: Access Point, WDS Repeater, WDS Bridge,
Client Infrastructure, Client Ad Hoc and WISP Router.
Static assignment or DHCP client to set the device IP address.
Multiple security measures: SSID hiding, Access Control List, WEP based encryption
(64, 128, 152 bits), enhanced Security with 802.1x using a primary and a backup
RADIUS Server with/without dynamic WEP keys, WPA-PSK, WPA, and WPA2.

1. Introduction
AirLive WLA-5000AP v3 Firmware 2.x User’s Manual 2
Extensive monitoring capability such as event logging, traffic/error statistics monitoring.
Support of remote logging.
Easy configuration and monitoring through the use of a Web-browser based GUI,
SNMP commands from a remote SNMP management station, and UPnP for users to
automatically discover the device.
Setup Wizard for easy configuration/installation.
Configuration file download and restore.
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 WLA-5000AP v3 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 WLA-5000AP v3 allows a group of wireless
stations to communicate with each other through it. Such a network is called an
Infrastructure BSS.
The WLA-5000AP v3 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 WLA-5000AP v3 to another without losing their connections, as long as they are
using the same SSID. See the diagram below.

AirLive WLA-5000AP v3 Firmware 2.x User’s Manual
1.3.2 WDS Repeater Mode
In Repeater mode, the WLA-5000AP v3 set as a repeater extends the range of wireless
LAN. The remote wireless AP/Router must also support WDS.
1.3.3 WDS Bridge Mode
When configured to operate in the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Mode, the
WLA-5000AP v3 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 WLA-5000AP v3 runs in the WDS mode can also support wireless stations
simultaneously. See the diagram below:

1. Introduction
AirLive WLA-5000AP v3 Firmware 2.x User’s Manual 4
1.3.4 Client Infrastructure Mode
In Client Infrastructure mode, the WLA-5000AP v3 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, WLA-5000AP v3 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.

1. Introduction

AirLive WLA-5000AP v3 Firmware 2.x User’s Manual
1.3.6 WISP Router Mode
In WISP Router Mode, WLA-5000AP v3 is connected to several computers and acts like a
Client mode AP. With IP sharing function, the computers can share the WISP connection
via WLA-5000AP v3.
1.4 Set up the device
The WLA-5000AP v3 can be managed remotely by a PC through either the wired or
wireless network. To do this, the WLA-5000AP v3 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 WLA-5000AP v3 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
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 WLA-5000AP v3 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.

AirLive WLA-5000AP v3 Firmware 2.x User’s Manual 6
2 2. Install the 802.11 A/G
Access Point
This section describes the installation procedure for the WLA-5000AP v3. It starts with a
summary of the content of the package you have purchased, followed by steps of how to
power up and connect the WLA-5000AP v3. Finally, this section explains how to configure
a Windows PC to communicate with the WLA-5000AP v3.
2.1 What’s in the box?
The WLA-5000AP v3 package contains the following items:
One WLA-5000AP v3
One 5V DC power adapter with a barrel connector
One CD of the WLA-5000AP v3 User Guide
2.2 Connect the cables
The Back Panel of the WLA-5000AP v3 appears as follows:
Follow these steps to install your WLA-5000AP v3:
Step 1. Connect a LAN hub to the LAN port on the WLA-5000AP v3 using the supplied
LAN cable.
Step 2. Connect the power adapter to an electrical outlet and the WLA-5000AP v3.
You can reset the Access Point’s Settings to factory defaults by
pushing a paperclip in the RESET hole. Push and hold until the
lights at the front of the Access Point are off.
2.3 Configuration steps
This section describes configuration required for the WLA-5000AP v3 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.

2. Install the 802.11A/G Access Point
7 AirLive WLA-5000AP v3 Firmware 2.x User’s Manual
Additionally, since you need to perform various configuration changes to the WLA-5000AP
v3, including the SSID, Channel number, the WEP key, …, etc., it is necessary to associate
a fixed IP address with the WLA-5000AP v3, which is why the WLA-5000AP v3 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 WLA-5000AP v3 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 WLA-5000AP v3 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 WLA-5000AP v3 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 WLA-5000AP v3 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 WLA-5000AP v3 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/b/g wireless
interface installed properly, be physically within the radio range of the WLA-5000AP v3, 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.

2. Install the 802.11A/G Access Point
AirLive WLA-5000AP v3 Firmware 2.x User’s Manual 8
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 WLA-5000AP v3 powered on, reboot the PC/wireless client. After the
PC/wireless client is re-booted, you should be ready to configure the
WLA-5000AP v3. 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.

3.1.2 DEVICE IP SETTINGS
Setup Wizard>> Device IP Settings
The Device IP Settings screen allows you to configure the IP address and subnet of the
device. Although you can rely on a DHCP server to assign an IP address to the
WLA-5000AP v3 automatically, it is recommended that you configure a static IP address
manually in most applications.
If you choose to assign the IP address manually, enable the checkbox of “Assign static IP
to this device” and then fill in the following fields
IP Address and IP Subnet Mask: Default values are 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0
respectively. It is important to note that there are similar addresses falling in the standard
private IP address range and it is an essential security feature of the device. Because of
this private IP address, the device can no longer be accessed (seen) from the Internet.
Gateway IP Address: Enter the IP address of your default gateway.
DNS Server: The Domain Name System (DNS) is a server on the Internet that translates
logical names such as “www.yahoo.com” to IP addresses like 66.218.71.80. In order to do
this, a query is made by the requesting device to a DNS server to provide the necessary
information. If your system administrator requires you to manually enter the DNS Server
addresses, you should enter them here.
Click APPLY to go to the next screen.
If you choose to use a DHCP Server to acquire an IP address for the WLA-5000AP v3
automatically, enable the checkbox that says, “Use the DHCP client protocol to
automatically get the IP address for this device”. Then click Next to go to the next screen.
Again, as a reminder, it is recommended that your WLA-5000AP v3 should be assigned a
static IP address in order to make it easy for you to manage the device later on.

3.1.3 WIRELESS SETTINGS
Setup Wizard>>Wireless Settings
Network ID (SSID): The SSID is the network name used to identify a wireless network. The
SSID must be the same for all devices in the wireless network (i.e. in the same BSS).
Several access points on a network can have the same SSID. The SSID length is up to 32
characters. The default SSID is “airlive”.
Disable SSID Broadcasting: An access point periodically broadcasts its SSID along with
other information, which allows client stations to learn its existence while searching for
access points in a wireless network. Check Disable SSID Broadcasting if you do not want
the device to broadcast the SSID.
Regulatory Domain: Please make sure that your regulatory domain matches your region.
The default value is “United Kingdom”.
WLAN Mode: Select “11g/b”, “11g only”, “11b”, “11a”, “SuperG” or “SuperA”. The wireless
module is IEEE 802.11g and 802.11b compliant, and choosing “11g/b” allows both 802.11b
and 802.11g client stations to get associated. However, choosing “11g” allows only
802.11g client stations to get associated and get better overall performance. 802.11a is not
compliant with either 802.11b or 802.11g; choosing “11a” only allows 802.11a client
stations to get associated.
Channel: Select a channel from the drop down menu. All devices in a BSS must use the
same channel. You can select Auto to let the system pick up the best channel for you.

3. Basic Configuration
AirLive WLA-5000AP v3 Firmware 2.x User’s Manual 14
The available channels are different from country to country and for
different WLAN mode.
Security Policy: You can select different security policy to provide association
authentication and/or data encryption.
WEP
Setup Wizard>>Wireless Settings >>Select Security Policy>>WEP
WEP allows you to use data encryption to secure your data from being eavesdropped by
malicious people. It allows 3 types of key: 64 (WEP64), 128 (WEP128), and 152 (WEP152)
bits. You can configure up to 4 keys using either ASCII or Hexadecimal format.
Key Settings: The length of a WEP64 key must be equal to 5 bytes, a WEP128 key is 13
bytes, and a WEP152 key is 16 bytes.
Key Index: You have to specify which of the four keys will be active.
Once you enable the WEP function, please make sure that both the WLA-5000AP v3 and
the wireless client stations use the same key.
Some wireless client cards only allow Hexadecimal digits for WEP
keys. Please note that when configuring WEP keys, a WEP128 ASCII
key looks like “This is a key”(13 characters), while a WEP128 Hex
key looks like “546869732069732061206b6579”(26 HEX)
(hexadecimal notation are 0-9 and A-F).

802.1x allows users to leverage a RADIUS server to do association authentications. You
can also enable dynamic WEP key (128 bit) to have data encryption. Here you do not have
to enter the WEP key manually because it will be generated automatically and dynamically.
Rekey interval is time period that the system will change the key periodically. The shorter
the interval is, the better the security is.
After you have finished the configuration wizard, you have to
configure the RADIUS Settings in Advanced Settings in order to make
the 802.1x function work.

WPA
Setup Wizard>>Wireless Settings >>Select Security Policy>>WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) requires a RADIUS server available in order to do
authentication (same as 802.1x), thus there is no shared key required.
Encryption Type: There are two encryption types TKIP and CCMP (AES). While CCMP
provides better security than TKIP, some wireless client stations may not be equipped with
the hardware to support it. You can select Both to allow TKIP clients and CCMP clients to
connect to the Access Point at the same time.
Group Rekey Interval: A group key is used for multicast/broadcast data, and the re-key
interval is time period that the system will change the group key periodically. The shorter

WPA-PSK
Setup Wizard>>Wireless Settings >>Select Security Policy>>WPA-PSK
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with Pre-Shared Key (PSK) provides better security than
WEP keys. It does not require a RADIUS server in order to provide association
authentication, but you do have to enter a shared key for the authentication purpose. The
encryption key is generated automatically and dynamically.
