							Regulatory Information 
 
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement   
 
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital 
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide 
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This 
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and

is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:   
-  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.   
-  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. 
-  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver 
is connected.   
-  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.   
FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance, (example - use only shielded interface 
cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices) any changes or modifications 
not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s 
authority to operate this equipment. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful 
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including 
interference that may cause undesired operation.   
 
IMPORTANT NOTE

							1. Introduction 
1.1 Overview 
AirLive WL-5460AP is an IEEE802.11b/g compliant 11 Mbps & 54 Mbps Ethernet Wireless 
Access Point.    The Wireless Access Point is equipped with two 10/100 M Auto-sensing 
Ethernet ports for connecting to LAN and also for cascading to next Wireless Access Point. 
AirLive WL-5460AP provides 64/128bit WEP encryption, WPA and IEEE802.1x which 
ensures a high level of security to protect users’ data and privacy.  The MAC Address filter 
prevents the unauthorized MAC Addresses from accessing your Wireless LAN. Your 
network security is therefore double assured. 
The web-based management utility is provided for easy configuration that your wireless 
network connection is ensured to be always solid and hassle free. 
 
Wireless Client Isolation   
The WL-5460APv2 features the new Wireless Client Isolation function previous available 
only in more expensive APs. When you enable this function, the wireless clients will not be 
able to see each other. Therefore, it is an important function for office and Hotspot operator 
to protect the security between different wireless users. 
  
ACK Timeout and TX Power Regulation   
The WL-5460APv2 features ACK timeout function to let you adjust the timeout value for 
long distance operation. In addition, 5-level TX power adjustment let you match different 
antennas for law compliance. The ability to set lower TX output power is also crucial if you 
want to match the AP with external power amplifier. 
  
Extended Security Features 
The WL-5460APv2 support WEP, WPA and WPA2 security functions. In addition, WPA 
enterprise for 802.1x authenticator are featured for AP and WDS mode. The combination of 
Encryption, Hide SSID and Access Control ensures your wireless network is completely 
secured from intruder. 
 
Whether its for office or home environment, the AirLive 802.11g family bring you the 
maximum performance and security for todays high speed wireless network.

							1.2 Firmware Features 
 
AirLive Wireless AP Firmware Features 
Firmware e11: The Most Powerful AP Firmware Ever! 
 
WL-5460AP 
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 latest E11 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-5460AP 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.  
						

							 
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
