Key features of interest

AirLive have packaged some key features that many other off-the-shelf units in the same class have just forgot. Some features of interest to the wireless enthusiast and professional alike include:

  • Up to 400mW adjustable Power Output
  • Adjustable receive sensitivity
  • Signal Survey
  • ACK Timeout Adjustment for long distance links in 802.11g mode
  • Watchdog Timers
  • Great flexibility with up to 8 Wireless Operation Modes
  • IEEE 802.3af PoE standard compliance
  • SSH2, HTTP, and Telnet Managements
  • Bandwidth Control and Wireless Client Isolation, ideal for hotspot setups

Both the WL-5470POE Indoor Unit and WH-5420CPE Outdoor Unit have identical radios and cpu, the only difference is the WH-5420CPE Outdoor Unit has no DC socket or regulator for 12V opperation and so are PoE only. So the main difference is their enclosures and so share the same functions and configuration.

It is also worth noting although included in the code, that the WL-5470POE Indoor Unit Alive have kept the PoE components on the PCB and so is able to operate either on a standard 12V 1A DC power pack or PoE, which is very handy in the office keep cables to a minimum.
