1. Introduction

 Firmware upgradeable.

1.3 Wireless Operation Modes

A group of wireless stations communicating with each other is called a Basic Service Set

(BSS) and is identified by a unique SSID.

When a WHA-5500CPE is used, it can be configured to operate in the following network

configurations.

1.3.1 Access Point Mode

When configured in the Access Point mode, the WHA-5500CPE allows a group of wireless

stations to communicate with each other through it. Such a network is called an

Infrastructure BSS.

The WHA-5500CPE further provides bridging functions between the wireless network and

the wired LAN network.

When multiple access points are connected to the same LAN segment, stations can roam

from one WHA-5500CPE to another without losing their connections, as long as they are

using the same SSID. See the diagram below.

AirLive WHA-5500CPE User’s Manual

1. Introduction

1.3.2 Repeater Mode

In Repeater mode, the WHA-5500CPE set as a repeater extends the range of wireless

LAN.

1.3.3 WDS Bridge Mode

When configured to operate in the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Mode, the

WHA-5500CPE provides bridging functions between the LAN behind it and separates

LANs behind other APs’ operating in the WDS mode. The system will support up to eight

APs in a WDS configuration.

Note that a WHA-5500CPE runs in the WDS mode can also support wireless stations

simultaneously. See the diagram below:

1. Introduction

1.3.4 Client Infrastructure Mode

In Client Infrastructure mode, the WHA-5500CPE is connected to a computer and acts like

a wireless station, so that the computer can wirelessly access the other network’s services,

such as Internet.

1.3.5 Client Ad Hoc Mode

In Client Ad Hoc mode, WHA-5500CPE is connected to a computer and acts like a wireless

station, so that the computer can wirelessly share files and printers with other wireless

stations.

AirLive WHA-5500CPE User’s Manual

1. Introduction

1.3.6 WISP Router Mode

In WISP Router Mode, WHA-5500CPE is connected to several computers and acts like a

Client mode AP. With IP sharing function, the computers can share the WISP connection

via WHA-5500CPE.

1.4 Set up the device

The WHA-5500CPE can be managed remotely by a PC through either the wired or wireless

network. To do this, the WHA-5500CPE must first be assigned an IP address, which can be

done using one of the following two methods.

1.4.1 STATIC IP

The default IP address of the LAN interface of an WHA-5500CPE is a private IP address of

192.168.1.1, and a network mask of 255.255.255.0. This means IP addresses of other

devices on the LAN should be in the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.

This IP address can be modified to either a different address in this same subnet or to an

AirLive WHA-5500CPE User’s Manual

1. Introduction

address in a different subnet, depending on the existing network settings (if there is any) or

user’s preferences.

1.4.2 AUTOMATIC IP

The WHA-5500CPE can also be configured to “obtain” an IP address automatically from a

DHCP server on the network. This address is called “dynamic” because it is only

dynamically assigned to the device, which may change depends on the IP assignment

policy used by the DHCP server on the network. Since the IP address in this case may

change from time to time, this method is not recommended - unless the user uses UPnP or

other management tools that do not depend on a fixed IP address.

2.3 Configuration steps

This section describes configuration required for the WHA-5500CPE before it can work

properly in your network.

First, it is assumed that in your LAN environment, a separate DHCP server will be available

for assigning dynamic (and often private) IP addresses to requesting DHCP clients.

Additionally, since you need to perform various configuration changes to the

WHA-5500CPE, including the SSID, Channel number, the WEP key, …, etc., it is

necessary to associate a fixed IP address with the WHA-5500CPE, which is why the

WHA-5500CPE will be shipped with a factory default private IP address of 192.168.1.1

(and a network mask of 255.255.255.0).

Therefore, during the system installation time, you need to build an isolated environment

with the WHA-5500CPE and a PC, and then perform the following steps:

Step 1. Manually change the IP address of the PC to become 192.168.1.3.

Step 2. Connect the PC to the WHA-5500CPE via PoE and change its configuration to a

static IP address based on your network environment. For example, if there is a

DHCP server that assigns IP addresses from the range 192.168.23.10 -

192.168.23.254 to DHCP client devices, it can reserve 192.168.23.10 for the

WHA-5500CPE and then the address pool with the DHCP server becomes

192.168.23.11 – 192.168.23.254.

If there is no DHCP server on your network environment, you just have to make

sure that there is no machine in the environment has the same IP address as

another machine.

Please note that after you change the IP address of the ACCESS POINT, the PC

client may not be able to reach the ACCESS POINT. This is because they may no

longer belong to the same IP network address space.

Step 3. Change the setting of the PC back to “obtain IP addresses dynamically”.

Now you can put the WHA-5500CPE and the PC to your network where the DHCP

server is connected. From then on, any wireless client configured to “obtain IP

AirLive WHA-5500CPE User’s Manual

2. Install the WHA-5500CPE

addresses dynamically” will work with the AP, with each other, and with devices on

the wired LAN network.

2.4 Set up a wireless client as a DHCP client

The following will give detailed steps of how to configure a PC or a wireless client to “obtain

IP addresses automatically”.

In the case of using a LAN attached PC, the PC must have an Ethernet interface installed

properly, be connected to the WHA-5500CPE either directly or through an external LAN

switch, and have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address automatically

from a DHCP server in the network.

In the case of using a wireless client, the client must also have an 802.11a wireless

interface installed properly, be physically within the radio range of the WHA-5500CPE, and

have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address automatically from a DHCP

server in the network.

Then perform the following steps for either of the cases above. To configure types of

workstations other than Windows 95/98/NT/2000, please consult the manufacturer’s

documentation.

Step 1. From the Win95/98/2000 Start Button, select Settings, then Control Panel. The

Win95/98/2000 Control Panel displays.

Step 2. Double-click on the Network icon.

Step 3. Check your list of Network Components in the Network window Configuration tab.

If TCP/IP has already been installed, go to Step 8. Otherwise, select Add to install

it now.

Step 4. In the new Network Component Type window, select Protocol. In the new Select

Network Protocol window, select Microsoft in the Manufacturers area.

Step 5. In the Network Protocols area of the same window, select TCP/IP, then click OK.

You may need your Win95/98 CD to complete the installation. After TCP/IP

installation is complete, go back to the Network window described in Step 4.

Step 6. Select TCP/IP in the list of Network Components.

Step 7. Click Properties, and check the settings in each of the TCP/IP Properties window:

Bindings Tab: both Client for Microsoft Networks and File and printer sharing

for Microsoft Networks should be selected. Gateway Tab: All fields should be

blank. DNS Configuration Tab: Disable DNS should be selected. IP Address

Tab: Obtain IP address automatically should be selected.

Step 8. With the WHA-5500CPE powered on, reboot the PC/wireless client. After the

PC/wireless client is re-booted, you should be ready to configure the

WHA-5500CPE. See Chapter 3.

The procedure required to set a static IP address is not too much different from the

procedure required to set to “obtain IP addresses dynamically” - except that at the end of

step 7, instead of selecting “obtain IP addresses dynamically, you should specify the IP

address explicitly.

3. Basic Configuration

This section describes the basic configuration procedure for the WHA-5500CPE. It

describes how to set up the WHA-5500CPE for wireless connections, and the configuration

of the local LAN environment. All basic configurations may be effected through a standard

Web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. From a PC that has been configured as

described in Chapter 2, enter the IP address of the WHA-5500CPE as the URL in your

browser, e.g. http://192.168.1.1.

The IP address of your PC must be in the same IP subnet as the

WHA-5500CPE.

The Home Page of the WHA-5500CPE screen will appear. Its main menu displays on the

right hand side of the window. The main menu includes the following choices: Setup Wizard,

Device Status, Advanced Settings, System Tools, and Help.

Log On

If you attempt to access a configuration item from the browser menu, an administrator

logon screen, shown below, will appear.
