Check the box to disable the Wireless LAN Interface, by so doing; you wont be able to make wireless connection with this Access Point in your located network. In other words, this device will not be visible by any wireless station.

You can choose one mode of the following you need. 2.4GHz (B): 802.11b supported rate only. 2.4GHz (G): 802.11g supported rate only. 2.4GHz (B+G): 802.11b supported rate and 802.11g supported rate. The default is 2.4GHz (B+G) 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. The default SSID is airlive.

Wireless Isolation

Client Allow user to set the function Enabled or Disabled. By the function, all wireless clients can't mutual link, but wireless client still link with LAN port adapter. The default value is Disabled.

Security

Press the setup button for detail configurations
To provide a certain level of security, the IEEE 802.11 standard has defined two types of authentication methods: Open System or Shared Key. And WL-5460APv2 also support other wireless authentication and encryption methods for enhance your wireless network. With Open System authentication, a wireless PC can join any network and receive any messages that are not encrypted. With Shared Key authentication, only those PCs that possess the correct authentication key can join the network. By default, IEEE 802.11 wireless devices operate in an Open System network and None data encryption. If you want secure your wireless network, you need to setup wireless security related function to enable security network. None Encryption: None (Encryption is set to None by default.) If the Access Point is using Encryption None, then the wireless adapter will need to be set to the same authentication mode.
WEP Encryption: WEP If selected WEP encryption, you must set WEP key value:
Encryption Authentication Type Key Length Key Format
WEP You can select Open System or Shared Key type for authentication. You can set 64bit or 128bit Encryption. Select ASCII if you are using ASCII characters (case-sensitive). Select HEX if you are using hexadecimal numbers (0-9, or A-F).

Default TX Key

You can enter 4 different Encryption Key and select one key to use as default.
10 hexadecimal digits or 5 ASCII characters are needed if 64-bit WEP is used; 26 hexadecimal digits or 13 ASCII characters are needed if 128-bit WEP is used. Shared Key is used when both the sender and the recipient share a secret key. So you can choose Open system, or one Shared Key authentication method. WPA-PSK Encryption: WPA-PSK (TKIP) or WPA-PSK (AES) Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with Pre-Shared Key (PSK) provides better security than WEP keys. It does not require a RADIUS server in order to provide association authentication, but you do have to enter a shared key for the authentication purpose. The encryption key is generated automatically and dynamically.

Encryption

You can select WPA-PSK (TKIP) or WPA-PSK (AES) method for data encryption.

Pre-shared Key

There are two formats for choice to set the Pre-shared key, i.e. Passphrase and Hex. If Hex is selected, users will have to enter a 64 characters string. For easier configuration, the Passphrase (at least 8 characters) format is recommended.

Group Key Life Time

Enter the number of seconds that will elapse before the group key change automatically. The default is 86400 seconds.
WPA2-PSK Encryption: WPA2-PSK (AES) or WPA-PSK Mixed WPA2-PSK authentication method is almost like WPA-PSK, You can choose the Pre-Shared Key format and enter the Pre-shared key,
You can select WPA2-PSK (AES) or WPA2-PSK Mixed method for data encryption

802.1x / RADIUS

Encryption: 802.1x / RADIUS security You can select None, WEP, WPA (TKIP), WPA (AES), WPA2 (AES), WPA2 Mixed method for data encryption. Encryption: None No data encryption and Use 802.1x Authentication is disable.
Encryption: WEP 802.1x Authentication is enabled and the RADIUS Server will proceed to check the 802.1x Authentication, and make the RADIUS server to issue the WEP key dynamically. You can select WEP 64bits or WEP 128bits for data encryption.
Encryption: WPA (TKIP) / WPA (AES) WPA-RADIUS authentication use WPA (Wi-Fi Protect Access) data encryption for 802.1x authentication.
22 WL5460AP v2 Users Manual
WPA is an encryption standard proposed by WiFi for advance protection by utilizing a password key (TKIP) or certificate. It is more secure than WEP encryption.
Encryption: WPA2-AES / WPA2-Mixed The two most important features beyond WPA to become standardized through 802.11i/WPA2 are: pre-authentication, which enables secure fast roaming without noticeable signal latency. Pre-authentication provides a way to establish a PMK security association before a client associates. The advantage is that the client reduces the time that it's disconnected to the network. Authentication RADIUS Server Enter the RADIUS Server IP address and Password provided by your ISP. Port: Enter the RADIUS Servers port number provided by your ISP. The default is 1812. IP Address: Enter the RADIUS Servers IP Address provided by your ISP. Password: Enter the password that the AP shares with the RADIUS Server. Accounting RADIUS Server Advanced Settings Enter the Accounting RADIUS Server IP address and Password provided by your ISP Press the setup button for detail configurations

It is not recommended that settings in this page to be changed unless advanced users want to change to meet their wireless environment for optimal performance. Fragment 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
23 WL5460AP v2 Users Manual
network, you can enter new Fragment Threshold value to split the packet. is 2346. RTS Threshold 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. When a station starts data transmission with the Access Point, it might not notice that the other station is already using the wireless medium. When these two stations send data at the same time, they might collide when arriving simultaneously at the Access Point. The collision will most certainly result in a loss of messages for both stations. Thus, the RTS Threshold mechanism provides a solution to prevent data collisions. When you enable RTS Threshold on a suspect hidden station, this station and its Access Point will use a Request to Send (RTS). The station will send an RTS to the Access 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. The default value is 2347. Warning: Enabling RTS Threshold will cause redundant network overhead that could negatively affect the throughput performance instead of providing a remedy. This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications of this value are recommended. Beacon Interval Beacon Interval is the amount of time between beacon transmissions. Before a station enters power save mode, the station needs the beacon interval to know when to wake up to receive the beacon (and learn whether there are buffered frames at the access point). Data Rate 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

24 WL5460AP v2 Users Manual
The value can be set from 256 to 2346. The default value
select the optimal rate. If obstacles or interference are present, the system will automatically fall back to a lower rate. Preamble Type A preamble is a signal used in wireless environment to synchronize the transmitting timing including Synchronization and Start frame delimiter. In a "noisy" network environment, the Preamble Type should be set to Long Preamble. The Short Preamble is intended for applications where minimum overhead and maximum performance is desired. If in a "noisy" network environment, the performance will be decreased. Broadcast SSID Select enabled to allow all the wireless stations to detect the SSID of this Access Point. IAPP IAPP (Inter Access Point Protocol) is designed for the enforcement of unique association throughout a ESS (Extended Service Set) and a secure exchange of stations security context between current access point (AP) and new AP during handoff period. 802.11g Protection
The 802.11g standard includes a protection mechanism to ensure mixed 802.11b and 802.11g operation. If there is no such kind of mechanism exists, the two kinds of standards may mutually interfere and decrease networks performance.

TX Power Level

For countries that impose limit on WLAN output power, it might be necessary to reduce TX (transmit) power. There are 7 TX Power Levels to choose from select a level to make sure that the output power measured at the antenna end will not exceed the legal limit in your country.
Enable Watch dog Watch Interval Watch Host ACK Timeout
Check and enable this watch dog function Setup the interval time for watch dog function between 1 to 60 mins Enter the watch dog host ip address. When a packet is sent out from one wireless station to the other, it will waits for an Acknowledgement frame from the remote station. If the ACK is NOT received within that timeout period then the packet will be re-transmitted resulting in reduced throughput. If the ACK setting is too high then throughput will be lost due to waiting for the ACK Window to timeout on lost packets. By having the ability to adjust the ACK setting we can effectively optimize the throughput over long distance links. This is especially true for 802.11a and 802.11g networks You can set as default for auto adjustment.

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 a Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet port (LAN1 or LAN2) of this Wireless Access Point, and the other end to a hub, switch, router, or another wireless access point.
2. Power on the device: connect the included AC power adapter to the Wireless Access Points power port
and the other end to a wall outlet.

Check the LEDs:

The Power and LAN # LEDs 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 this Wireless Access Point fails on self test. Please ask your dealer for technical support.
3. Configure your PC: Make sure your local PC(s) has wireless network adapter installed.
ABOUT THE WIRELESS OPERATION MODES
The WL-5460AP v2 device provides all 7 modes of wireless operational applications with :
Access Point, Bridge, Client, WDS Repeater, Universal Repeater, WISP (Client Router) WISP + Universal Repeater
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.

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
AP and click the Setup button.
Client Mode (Infrastructure)
If set to Client (Infrastructure) mode, this device can work like a wireless station when its 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. To set the operation mode to Client (Infrastructure), please go to Mode in the Network Type field, select as infrastructure for configuration Client, click the Setup button

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 mode, please go to Mode for configuration WISP, click the Setup button
WISP + Universal Repeater mode
In this mode, the AP behaves virtually the same as the WISP mode, except one thing: the AP can also send wireless signal to the LAN side. That means the AP can connect with the remote WISP AP and the indoor wireless card, and then provide IP sharing capability all at the same time! However, the output power is divided between 2 wireless side and proper antenna installation can influence the performance greatly. To set the operation mode to WISP mode, please go to Mode WISP, click the Setup button
And select the Enable Universal Repeater Mode check box to enable this mode.

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. Press the setup button for detail configurations

Security

To provide a certain level of security, the IEEE 802.11 standard has defined two types of authentication methods: Open System or Shared Key. And WL-5460APv2 also support other wireless authentication and encryption methods for enhance your wireless network. With Open System authentication, a wireless PC can join any network and receive any messages that are not encrypted. With Shared Key authentication, only those PCs that possess the correct authentication key can join the network. By default, IEEE 802.11 wireless devices operate in an Open System network and None data encryption. If you want secure your wireless network you need to setup wireless security related function to enable security network.

Authentication

Open system or Shared Key. Encryption: None (Encryption is set to None by default.) If the Access Point is using Open System, then the wireless adapter will need to be set to the same authentication mode. Shared Key is used when both the sender and the recipient share a secret key. So you can choose Open system , or one Shared Key authentication method
Encryption: WEP If selected, you must set WEP key value
Key Length: to set 64bit or 128bit Encryption. Key format : Select ASCII if you are using ASCII characters (case-sensitive)Select HEX if you are using hexadecimal numbers (0-9, or A-F). Default Tx Key: you can enter 4 different Encryption Key and select one key to use as default.
Ten hexadecimal digits or five ASCII characters are needed if 64-bit WEP is used; 26 hexadecimal digits or 13 ASCII characters are needed if 128-bit WEP is used.

Advanced Settings

It is not recommended that settings in this page to be changed unless advanced users want to change to meet their wireless environment for optimal performance

Fragment 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. is 2346. The value can be set from 256 to 2346. The default value

RTS Threshold

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. When a station starts data transmission with the Access Point, it might not notice that the other station is already using the wireless medium. When these two stations send data at the same time, they might collide when arriving simultaneously at the Access Point. The collision will most certainly result in a loss of messages for both stations. Thus, the RTS Threshold mechanism provides a solution to prevent data collisions. When you enable RTS Threshold on a
suspect hidden station, this station and its Access Point will use a Request to Send (RTS). The station will send an RTS to the Access 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. The default value is 2347. Warning: Enabling RTS Threshold will cause redundant network overhead that could negatively affect the throughput performance instead of providing a remedy.
This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you
encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications of this value are recommended.

Beacon Interval

Beacon Interval is the amount of time between beacon transmissions. Before a station enters power save mode, the station needs the beacon interval to know when to wake up to receive the beacon (and learn whether there are buffered frames at the access point).
