Air Live Router WL-5460AP User Manual

							3.2 Client Mode Settings 
 
 
¾ Alias Name: Another name for WL-5460AP. 
¾ Disable Wireless LAN Interface: Check the box to disable the Wireless LAN Interface, 
by so doing, you won’t be able to 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.   
¾ Band: 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. 
¾ SSID (Network ID): 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. 
In this mode, the SSID is the available remote Access Point to connect to. 
  
						

							¾ 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.  
¾ Auto Mac Clone (Single Ethernet Client): If your ISP restricts service to PCs only, 
use the MAC Clone feature to copy a PC Media Access Control (MAC) address to your 
router. This procedure will cause the router to appear as a single PC, while allowing 
online access to multiple computers on your network. 
¾ Manual MAC Clone Address: You can also manually provide MAC address to the 
router. This solves the problem if you have more than one PC which need to access 
the internet.. 
¾ Site Survey: Site survey helps to find out available access point around. You can also 
check to prevent using same SSID or channel with other AP.

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.  
¾ 802.1d Spanning Tree: Spanning tree is to prevent bridge loop when there are 
multiple active paths between network nodes. Bridge loop could cause connection fail 
or broadcast storm. Spanning tree allows a network design to include spare (redundant) 
links to provide automatic backup paths if an active link fails, without the danger of 
bridge loops, or the need for manual enabling/disabling of these backup links. 
¾ AP MAC Address: Fill the MAC address of the remote WDS node which you want to 
connect to. 
¾ Site Survey: Use this button to find out the remote WDS node and check the signal 
strength. It helps to build up you WDS network correctly.
