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

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

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

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.

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

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.
