AirLive WLA-5000AP Selectable Dual-Band Wireless Access Point
The WLA-5000AP supports standard 802.11a/g wireless link rates up to 54 Mbps and proprietary Super A/Super G Turbo link rates up to 108 Mbps. Turbo operation requires compatible equipment and an appropriate operating mode. .
This is a selectable-band access point: it does not provide simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz service. Available channels depend on the device's regional configuration and applicable radio regulations.
Ethernet Connectivity
A single RJ45 10/100 Mbps LAN port provides the wired network connection. The interface supports Fast Ethernet rather than Gigabit Ethernet.
Network Management
Management features include a web interface, SNMP, primary and secondary RADIUS server support, and a watchdog timer.
Power and Installation
The reviewed AirLive v3 documentation specifies a 5 V DC, 2 A external power adapter.
Ideal Applications
- Maintenance or replacement of existing 802.11a/b/g access-point installations.
- Wireless client connections for equipment with an Ethernet interface.
- Legacy WDS bridging or repeater installations with verified peer compatibility.
- WISP client deployments using supported firmware and matching radio settings.
Compatible Products
For Ethernet data connections, use an RJ45 patch cable suitable for 10/100BASE-T networking.
- Intellinet 318938 Cat5e UTP Network Cable, 1 m, Blue – RJ45 male-to-male Cat5e cable suitable for the WLA-5000AP's Fast Ethernet data connection.
Wireless clients must support the selected 802.11a or 802.11b/g mode, the configured channel and the configured security settings. Super A/Super G operation additionally requires compatible proprietary Turbo support.
Important: WDS interoperability must be verified with the intended peer device and firmware. WDS and repeater modes do not support Turbo operation according to the reviewed quick setup guide. The Ethernet cable listed above does not establish PoE compatibility. No replacement power adapter, PoE injector or external antenna is recommended without verification of the complete electrical and RF requirements.
