Chapter 1: Introduce

1.1 Introduce

The AirLive WH-5000A is a Secure IEEE 802.11 a/b/g Wireless LAN device and supports three different operating modes:

The WH-5000A is designed as a high security wireless network device. They are with the following cryptographic modules: WEP (64,128or 152 bits),

CCMP

for the bridging mode; and HTTPS/TLS for secure web communication. Moreover, the WH-5000A provides the wireless client MAC address filtering, Rogue AP detection to protect your wireless network.

With support of 802.11 a/b/g standards, the WH-5000A works at 2.4GHz (802.11b/g) and 5GHz (802.11a). Besides with 54Mbps transmit data rate of 802.11 a/g and 11Mbps transmit data rate of

802.11b, the WH-5000A also provides Super G / Turbo A function. (Turbo A mode doesn’t support at ETSI domain region.) the

802.11g Super and 802.11a Turbo technologies provide speed and throughput of more than double standard wireless LAN technologies in networking products. The Maximum link speed available is 108Mbps and the typical depending on application demand and network environment.

The others features are AP load balance, AP layer 2 isolation and Bridge Site Map.

(128 bits)

maximum end-user throughput ranges from approximately 40Mbps to 60+Mbps,

1.2 Wireless Access Point Mode (WAP)

In the wireless access point mode, you can use the AirLive WH-5000A to connect wireless communication devices together to create a wireless network. The AirLive WH-5000A is usually connected to a wired network and can relay data between devices on each side. In Wireless Access Point (WAP) mode the WAN interface has to con- nect to a backbone Ethernet switch in order to operate normally. It bridges the backbone Ethernet network and wireless interface. The following diagram is an example of WAP mode network topology.

There is numerous security methods provided including WEP, WPA (TKIP and AES-CCM) and WPA2 (TKIP and AES-CCM) are The supports EAP-TLS, protocols.

1.3 Wireless Bridging Mode (WDS)

In Wireless Bridging (WDS) mode the WAN interface may or may not need to connect to a backbone Ethernet switch. It depends on needs of infrastructure network. The Wireless Bridging Mode function extends the network from an existing wired network easily without altering the network topology.

The following diagram is an example of WDS mode network topology. This type of infrastructure is

The AirLive WH-5000A can operate as a client device that communicates with a wireless access point. It supports

802.11a/b/g bands. In Wireless Client mode, the WAN interface is NOT design for a backbone network connection. It is the interface for computer connected to it. The following diagram an example of WDS mode network topology.

There is numerous security methods provided in this mode, including WEP, WPA (TKIP and AES-CCM) and WPA2 (TKIP and AES-CCM) are available.

Chapter 2 Start to Configuration

The manual deals only and specifically with the single WH-5000A device as a unit. The purpose of this chapter is the description of the device and its identifiable parts so that the user is sufficiently familiar to interact with th e physical unit. Preliminary setup information provided below is intended for information and instruction of the wireless LAN system administration personnel.

It is intended, and is the philosophy of the manufacturer, that the user not be required to open the individual

Any maintenance required is limited to the external enclosure surface, cable connections and to the

unit. management

software only. A failed unit should be returned to the manufacturer for maintenance.

2.1 Before Configuration

The WH-5000A is designed to be attached to the wall at appropriate locations. To complete the configuration, you should have at least the following components:

PCs with one of the following operation systems installed: Windows NT 4.0, Windows

2000 or

Windows XP; A compatible IEEE 802.11a/b/g PC card or device for each computer that you wish to wirelessly

connect

your wireless network;

Access to one laptop or PC with an Ethernet card and cable that can be used to complete the initial

configuration

the unit; A Web browser program, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later, or Netscape 6.2 or later, installed on the PC or laptop you will be using to configure the Access Point

After prepare above components, you may need the following information to login configure web pages:

Default IP address of the AirLive WH-5000A (192.168.254.254)

Default Username and Password are:

Username: airlive

Password: airlive

The appropriate encryption key.

If you need to change WH-5000A IP later, you may need following information:

IP address – a list of IP addresses available on the organization's LAN that are available to be used

2.2 Computer’s IP setting

Plug one end of a CAT5 Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector of the WH-5000A and the other end to the Ethernet port on your computer. In order to connect properly to the AirLive WH-5000A on the WAN port, the TCP/IP parameters on your laptop/PC must be set to a static IP address. Go to your network connection settings and modify your laptop/PC’s LAN connection TCP/IP properties.

Set the IP address and subnet mask. The IP address can be in the range of 192.168.254.xxx, where xxx can be from 2 to 199.

Now you can open a browser and connect to the AirLive WH-5000A to begin configuring the unit.

2.3 Login

On your computer, pull up a browser window and put the default URL https://192.168.254.254 for the WH-5000A in the address line.
