Chapter 2. System Overview
Chapter 2. System Overview
2.1 Introduction of MW-2000S
Thank you for purchasing AirLive Hotspot Management Gateway MW-2000S.
MW-2000S is a Hotspot Management Gateway, dedicatedly designed for small to medium-sized wireless network
deployment and management, making it an ideal solution for easily managing the Hotspot service. With its user
management features, administrators will be able to manage the whole process of wireless network access. In
addition, Access Point (AP) management functions allow administrators to discover, configure, update, and monitor
all managed APs from a single secured interface, and from there, gain full control of the entire wireless network.
2.2 System Concept
MW-2000S is capable of managing user authentication, authorization and accounting. The user account information
is stored in the local database or a specified external databases server. Featured with user authentication and
integrated with external payment gateway, MW-2000S allows users to easily pay the fee and enjoy the Internet
service. With centralized AP management system, the administrator does not need to worry about how to maintain
several wireless access point devices in a short time. The following diagram is an example of MW-2000S set to
manage the Internet access service at a hotel.

Hotspot Authentication
y Instant Account
Administrator can define account type base upon price, usage time limit, or traffic limit. It supports up to 10
different accounts type, and user can select the type he wants to pay for Internet access, and then the
information can be printed out on a conventional printer, or to the ticket printer TP-1000S. Up to 2000
on-demand accounts can be generated and the concurrent users can be up to 120.
y Web Trigger Authentication
When user opens the web browser, the MW-2000S will switch a window asking you to enter user name
and password. The login window can be customized to put company’s logo or art design.
y Payment System
MW-2000S is featured with Authorize.Net and PayPal billing system, so that users can easily pay the fee
with credit cards or PayPal accounts for the Internet access.
y Personal Bandwidth Control
When you construct the environment for public Internet access, it is necessary to restrict user’s access
bandwidth in order to keep up the access speed of else users. MW-2000S features Individual Maximum
Bandwidth and Individual Request Bandwidth to remain each user’s access speed. It also features
Maximum Concurrent Sessions to limit the access sessions, in order to avoid the bandwidth occupied by
virus or P2P software to spread out lots of sessions.
y WAN Load Balance and Fail-over
Built-in with 2 WAN interfaces, MW-2000S features WAN Load Balance and Fail-over function to enlarge
useful bandwidth and keep up the Internet connection.
y Customized Template Page
The Login and Logout page can be customized to change text / background color, the text contents, insert
your own logo, and switch background image. The preview function can help user easily to adjust the
page.

AP Management
y Auto AP Discovery
Keep your AP in the factory default configuration, and connect it to the MW-2000S. Then press “Auto
Discover” and the MW-2000S will find all the APs for you.
y Auto IP Address Assignment
After APs are discovered, MW-2000S will assign different IP address to each AP automatically.
y Template Configuration
Default configurations for the AP can be defined in a template profile. So after an AP is discovered by the
security gateway, you can apply the configuration template to each AP. You no longer have to configure
each AP independently. Up to 3 configurations template can be defined.
y View AP Status
View the wireless and LAN status and Disable or Enable each AP.
y Detailed Configuration
Configure all the AP’s function from the MW-2000S web management interface.
y Keep Alive Status
Up to 40 IP addresses can be set in the Keep Alive status function, so when one network device is down,
the administrator would receive email about this event.
Note: MW-2000S v2.00 build 900 version firmware currently works with WL-5460AP e10.1 firmware, and
WLA-5000AP v2.00e12 firmware. Please download the firmware from our website (http://www.airlive.com) if you do
not have the correct firmware installed on WL-5460AP or WLA-5000AP. We will also announce the updated
information in AirLive website if the available firmware is changing.
Note: Please refer to the following chapter and learn more configurations to accomplish the AP Management

Local VPN
Data encryption means to encode the data so that confidential information can not be stolen by intruder. Since
wireless data can be received by anyone with a wireless device, the data encryption is even more important. The
current solution require administrator to set wireless encryption key on the wireless device. The problem with this
implementation is that when the key is known to one user, the entire network security is in jeopardy. The Local VPN
is the perfect solution to this problem. It is achieved in 5 easy steps.
z Each user will be given a different account with username and password.
z When user tries to access the network, a window will pop up to ask for the account information.
z After user enters the correct password, the MW-2000S will download an ActiveX VPN client into the user’s
PC.
z The VPN key is automatically assigned, the end user does not need to do anything.
z After the account expired, the user will not be able to access the network anymore.
Note: Please refer to the following chapter and learn more configurations to accomplish the Local VPN setting.

3.1.4 Installation Steps
Please follow the following steps to install MW-2000S:
1. Connect the DC power adapter to the power connector socket on the rear panel. The Power LED should be on
to indicate a proper connection.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the WAN Port on the rear panel. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to
ADSL modem, cable modem or a switch/hub of the internal network. The LED of this WAN port should be on to
indicate a proper connection.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable to Private Port on the rear panel. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a
client’s PC. The LED of Private Port should be on to indicate a proper connection. (Note: No authentication is
required for the users to access the network via Private Port and the administrator can enter the administrative
user interface to perform configurations via Private Port.)
4. Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN1~LAN4 Port on the rear panel. Connect the other end of the Ethernet
cable to an AP or switch. The LED of LAN1~LAN4 should be on to indicate a proper connection. (Note:
Authentication is required for the users to access the network via these LAN Ports.)
Attention: Usually a straight-through cable could be applied when the MW-2000S connects to an Access Point
which supports automatic crossover. If after the AP hardware resets, the MW-2000S could not be able to connect to
the AP while connecting with a straight-through cable, the user have to pull out and plug-in the straight-through
cable again. This scenario does NOT occur while using a crossover cable.
After the hardware of MW-2000S is installed completely, the system is ready to be configured in the following
sections.
