1.2 Firmware Features

AirLive Wireless AP Firmware Features

The Most Powerful AP Firmware Ever!

WL-5470POE

As the leading global WISP solution provider, AirLive understands the application environments of WISP operators. As a result, we are constantly upgrading our AP’s firmware to meet the changing demand of WISP operators. The firmware adds high end features not commonly found in the AP of this class. The AirLive multi-function Access Points not only work for long distance application, they work much better than the competitions.

8 Wireless Operation Modes

The AirLive WL-5470POE can operate in 8 different wireless modes. It can work as a Wireless Router, AP, Client, Repeater, Bridge, and much more.

Whether it is for home, office, or WISP; the AirLive AP has a solution for you.

Up to 400mW of Output Power*

AirLive’s high quality hardware let the AP expand its RF output power up to 26dBm using South American firmware. That’s 4 times the output power of regular AP! It means much greater distance and coverage.

* For South America only. Not available for other regions.

WL-5470 POE User’s Manual

Traffic Control QoS Function

Traffic Control is a great tool to control the bandwidth of the WISP subscribers. Therefore, the WISP operators can offer different class of connection speeds for different subscription fees - just like the ADSL service! The AirLive advance Traffic Control firmware can control the bandwidth by Interface or IP/MAC.

Dynamic Signal Survey Function for Antenna Alignment

Having trouble align your antenna correctly to the other outdoor AP? The AirLive Wireless Signal Survey function tells you the receiving signal strength dynamically as your antenna turns. It automatically refreshes itself in the process, therefore, making antenna alignment much simpler than before.

Wireless Site Survey Connection Wizard

During a new WISP service installation, the installer will need to find out which outdoor AP provide the best signal in the area for connection. The AirLive wireless site survey function provides one step setup for this process. First, the site survey page shows which AP has the strongest the signal. Then the installer performs antenna alignment by using the signal survey function. At last, the installer simply clicks on “connect” button to establish connection. The site survey is available even in AP mode, so the installer can check the channels used by surrounding APs to avoid interferences.

Telnet Function

Some WISP operators prefer to use CLI command line for configurations. The firmware provides full command line feature via Telnet.

7

WL-5470 POE User’s Manual

SSH login

WL-5470POE provides SSH secure connection for remote management. The program SSH (Secure Shell) is a secure replacement for telnet. It provides an encrypted channel for logging into WL-5420POE over a network, executing commands on WL-5470POE from your workstation. SSH provides strong host-to-host and user authentication as well as secure encrypted communications over an insecure Internet.

Wireless Client Isolation

AirLive firmware’s Client Isolation function protects the security and privacy of each individual subscriber. Therefore, subscriber does not need to worry about hacker attacks in the same wireless network.

Emergency Recovery

How many times your machine crashed and lost access completely?

The AirLive’s Emergency web server function means you can recover your AP even during if the machine failed during a firmware upgrade. This greatly reduces the service loading for WISP operators.

Power over Ethernet

For applications that require user to put a network device (such as AP) in a place where there is no electrical outlet available, the Power over Ethernet is the best solution. Power over Ethernet allows both data and electricity to be transmitted over a Cat.5 UTP/STP cable at up to 100 meter of distance. This allows electronic devices to be placed in the outdoor or difficult to reach places, while utilizing the power source and the Ethernet network indoor.
