Port/button LAN ports (LAN1,LAN2) (Factory) RESET 12V DC Functions Use standard LAN cables (RJ45 connectors) to connect your PCs to these ports. If required, any port can be connected to another hub. Any LAN port will automatically function as an "Uplink" port when necessary. Press over 3 seconds to reboot this device. Press for over 10 seconds to restore factory settings. Performing the Factory Reset will erase all previously entered device settings.
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.
ABOUT THE WIRELESS OPERATION MODES This device provides seven operational applications with AP, Bridge, Client (Ad-hoc), Client (Infrastructure) ,WDS Repeater, Universal Repeater , WISP(Client Router) mode which are mutually exclusive. This device is shipped with configuration that is functional right out of the box.
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. To set the operation mode to Client (Infrastructure), please go to “Wireless JBasic Settings”, in the “Mode” field click the down arrow b to select Client mode, and then select “Network Type” as “Infrastructure”.
Bridge Mode You will be able to connect two wireless LANs together under the Bridge mode. This only works with another Wireless a/b/g Access Point. If enabled you must enter the MAC address of that Wireless a/b/g Access Point. To set the operation mode to Bridge mode, please go to “Wireless JBasic Settings”, in the “Mode” field click the down arrow b to select Bridge mode.
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.
Universal Repeater Mode A universal repeater can also extend the wireless coverage of another wireless AP or router without requiring the remote device to have WDS function. Therefore, it can work with almost any wireless device.
WISP (Client Router) Mode WISP (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.
CONFIGURATION Login 1. 2. 3. 4. Start your computer. Connect an Ethernet cable between your computer and the Wireless Access Point. Make sure your wired station is set to the same subnet as the Wireless Access Point, i.e. 192.168.1.254 Start your WEB browser. In the Address box, enter the following: http://192.168.1.254 Enter airlive in the Username and password column when you are prompted the login screen.

Network Type SSID Channel Number network. You can choose the Ad-Hoc mode and Infrastructure mode The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another; therefore, all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. An SSID is also referred to as a network name because essentially it is a name that identifies a wireless network.
Fragment Threshold RTS Threshold Fragmentation mechanism is used for improving the efficiency when high traffic flows along in the wireless network. If your 802.11g Wireless LAN PC Card often transmit large files in wireless network, you can enter new Fragment Threshold value to split the packet. The value can be set from 256 to 2346. The default value is 2346. RTS Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node” problem.
Point, informing that it is going to transmit the data. Upon receipt, the Access Point will respond with a CTS message to all station within its range to notify all other stations to defer transmission. It will also confirm the requestor station that the Access Point has reserved it for the time-frame of the requested transmission. If the “Hidden Node” problem is an issue, please specify the packet size. The RTS mechanism will be activated if the data size exceeds the value you set..

Selecting different method will enable you to have different level of security.
Authentication Type: WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK If WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK is selected, users will have to select the Encryption from the pull-down list, TKIP, AES or TKIP_AES and then enter a passphrase.
Bridge Mode Setting The distinguishing name of this device, you may change the default alias name by entering a new one in this column. Disable Wireless LAN Check the box to disable the Wireless LAN Interface, by so doing, you won’t be able to Interface make wireless connection with this Access Point in the network you are located. In other words, this device will not be visible by any wireless station. Choose a mode from the pull-down list.
Channel Number Allow user to set the channel manually or automatically. If set channel manually, just select the channel you want to specify. If “Auto” is selected, user can set the channel range to have Wireless Access Point automatically survey and choose the channel with best situation for communication. The number of channels supported depends on the region of this Access Point. All stations communicating with the Access Point must use the same channel.
RTS Threshold wireless network. If your 802.11g Wireless LAN PC Card often transmit large files in wireless network, you can enter new Fragment Threshold value to split the packet. The value can be set from 256 to 2346. The default value is 2346. RTS Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node” problem. “Hidden Node” is a situation in which two stations are within range of the same Access Point, but are not within range of each other. Therefore, they are hidden nodes for each other.
Data Rate Preamble Type Hide SSID whether there are buffered frames at the access point). By default, the unit adaptively selects the highest possible rate for transmission. Select the basic rates to be used among the following options: Auto, 1, 2, 5.5, 11or 54 Mbps. For most networks the default setting is Auto which is the best choice. When Auto is enabled the transmission rate will select the optimal rate.
Security (Bridge/Repeater Mode) Here you can configure the security of your wireless network. Selecting different method will enable you to have different level of security. Please note that by using any encryption, by which data packet is encrypted before transmission to prevent data packets from being eavesdropped by unrelated people, there may be a significant degradation of the data throughput on the wireless link.
