Chapter II: 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.

2.(LAN1 to LAN4) of this Wireless Access Point, and the other end to a hub, switch, router, or another wireless access point.

3.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.

2.1 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.

4.Please make sure your computer IP is in the same subnet as the AP (i.e. 192.168.100.x).

5.please make sure your computer has wireless network adapter installed.

Chapter III: About the Wireless Operation Modes

The WL-5470AP v2 device provides all 7 modes of wireless operational applications with:

1Access Point Mode.

2Client Mode.

3Bridge Mode.

4WDS Repeater Mode.

5Universal Repeater Mode.

6WISP (Client Router) Mode.

7WISP + Universal Repeater Mode.

8GW Mode

This device is shipped with configuration that is functional right out of the box. If you want to change the settings in order to perform more advanced configuration or even change the mode of operation, you can use the web-based utility provided by the manufacturer as described in the following sections.

3.1 Access Point Mode

When acting as an access point (default setting), this device connects all the stations (PC/notebook with wireless network adapter) to a wired network. All stations can have the Internet access if only the Access Point has the Internet connection. See the sample application below.

To set the operation mode to “Access Point”, please go to “Mode JAP” and click the Setup button.

AirLive WL_5470AP User’s Manual

3.2 Client Mode (Infrastructure)

If set to Client (Infrastructure) mode, this device can work like a wireless station when it’s connected to a computer so that the computer can send packets from wired end to wireless interface.

Refer to the illustration below. This station (AP1 plus the connected computer 1) can associate to another Access Point (AP2), and then can have the Internet access if the other Access Point (AP2) has the Internet connection.

AirLive WL_5470AP User’s Manual

6

To set the operation mode to “Client (Infrastructure)”, Please go to “Mode JClient” and click the Setup button.

In the “Network Type” field, select as “infrastructure” for configuration.

3.3 Client Mode (Ad-hoc)

If set to the Client (Ad-hoc) mode, this device can work like a wireless station when it is connected to a computer so that the computer can send packets from wired end to wireless interface. You can share files and printers between wireless stations (PC and laptop with wireless network adapter installed).

See the sample application below.

AirLive WL_5470AP User’s Manual

7

To set the operation mode to “Client (Ad-Hoc)”, Please go to “Mode JClient” and click the Setup button. In the “Network Type” field, select as “infrastructure” for configuration.

3.4 Bridge Mode

In this mode, 2 access points in two remote locations connect to each other to provide a wireless bridge between 2 remote LANs. It is mostly used by enterprise to connect 2 remote office's network together. The bridge modes are connected by using either the WDS (Wireless Distribution System) or Ad-Hoc topology.

This feature is also useful when users want to bridge networks between buildings where it is impossible to deploy network cable connections between these buildings.

To set the operation mode to “Bridge”, Please go to “Mode JBridge” and click the Setup button for configuration.

3.5 WDS Repeater Mode

A repeater's function is to extend the wireless coverage of another wireless AP or router. For WDS repeater to work, the remote wireless AP/Router must also support WDS function.

To set the operation mode to “WDS Repeater”, Please go to “Mode JWDS Repeater” and click the Setup button for configuration.

3.6 Universal Repeater Mode

A universal repeater can also extend the wireless coverage of another wireless AP or router. But the universal repeater does not require the remote device to have WDS function. Therefore, it can work with almost any wireless device.

Note: When you are using the universal repeater mode, please make sure the remote AP/Router‘s WDS function is turned off.

AirLive WL_5470AP User’s Manual

To set the operation mode to “Universal Repeater”, Please go to “Mode JUniversal Repeater” and click

the Setup button for configuration.

3.7 WISP ( Client Router) Mode

zWISP (Client Router) mode

In WISP mode, the AP will behave just the same as the Client mode for wireless function. However, Router functions are added between the wireless WAN side and the Ethernet LAN side. Therefore, The WISP subscriber can share the WISP connection without the need for extra router.

To set the operation mode to “WISP”, Please go to “Mode JWISP” and click the Setup button for configuration.
