Air Live Router WL-5460AP User Manual

3.9 Wireless Security 
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.   
 
WL-5460AP provides WEP, WPA-PSK (TKIP), 
WPA2-PSK (AES) and WPA2-PSK (AES)...

WPA-PSK (TKIP) / 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.   
There are two encryption types TKIP and CCMP (AES). While CCMP provides better 
security than TKIP, some wireless client stations may not be equipped with the...

WPA2-PSK (AES) 
Enter the Pre-shared Key to initiate WPA2 security. All devices try to access the network 
should have the matching encryption key. 
 
Pre-shared Key: This is an ASCII string with 8 to 63 characters. Please make sure that 
both the WL-5460AP and the wireless client stations use the same key.   
Encryption Type: There are two encryption types TKIP and CCMP (AES). While CCMP 
provides better security than TKIP, some wireless client stations may not be equipped with 
the hardware to support...

802.1X (Radius) 
Authentication by the remote server (RADIUS Server). 
 
 
 
 
 
Security: You can select None, WEP, WPA (TKIP), WPA (AES), WPA2 (AES), WPA2 Mixed 
method for data 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. 
~ WPA (TKIP) / WPA (AES): WPA-RADIUS authentication use WPA (Wi-Fi Protect...

~ Port: Enter the RADIUS Server’s port number provided by your ISP. The default is 
1812. 
~ IP Address: Enter the RADIUS Server’s IP Address provided by your ISP. 
~ Password: Enter the password that the AP shares with the RADIUS Server. 
Accounting RADIUS Server: Enter the Accounting RADIUS Server IP address and 
Password provided by your ISP. 
  

3.10 Advanced Wireless Settings 
When click on Advanced Setup button under client mode, a pop-up window appears and 
show parameter as follow: 
 
Fragmentation: 
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...

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...

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 WatchDog: Check and enable this watch dog function.
 
 
Watch Interval: Setup the interval time for watch dog function between 1 to 60 mins. 
 
Watch Host: Enter the watch dog host ip address. 
 
Ack timeout: 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...

3.11 Access Control 
When Enable Wireless Access Control is checked, only those clients whose wireless MAC 
addresses listed in the access control list can access this Access Point. If the list contains 
no entries with this function being enabled, then no clients will be able to access this 
Access Point. 
 
 
Wireless Access Control Mode: Select the Access Control Mode from the pull-down 
menu. 
~ Disable: Select to disable Wireless Access Control Mode. 
~ Allow Listed: Only the stations shown in the...

3.12 QoS Traffic Control 
 
What is Traffic Control QoS? 
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 firmware can control the 
bandwidth by Interface or 
IP/MAC. 
 
What type of Traffic Bandwidth Control does the E11 firmware offer? 
The E11 firmware’s Traffic Bandwidth limits the “Maximum Data...
