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:
` Wireless Access Point (WAP)
` Wireless Client (STA), and
` Wireless Bridge (WDS)
The WH-5000A is designed as a high security wireless network device. They are with the following
cryptographic modules: WEP (64,128or 152 bits), WPA (TKIP) or WPA2 (AES) in AP mode, and AES-
CCMP (128 bits)
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
typical maximum end-user throughput ranges from approximately 40Mbps to 60+Mbps,
depending on application demand and network environment.
The others features are AP load balance, AP layer 2 isolation and Bridge Site Map.
