User's Manual

Wireless Access Point User Guide
x
WPS Support. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) can simplify the process of connecting any
device to the wireless network by using the push button configuration (PBC) on the Wire-
less Access Point, or entering a 8-digit PIN code if there's no button.
x
DHCP Client Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP
address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Wireless Access Point can act as a
DHCP Client, and obtain an IP address and related information from your existing DHPC
Server.
x
Upgradeable Firmware. Firmware is stored in a flash memory and can be upgraded
easily, using only your Web Browser.
x
PoE Support. You can use PoE (Power over Ethernet) to provide power to the Wireless
Access Point, so only a single cable connection is required.
Security Features
x Virtual APs. For maximum flexibility, wireless security settings are stored in Virtual AP.
Up to 4 Virtual APs can be defined and used as any time.
x
Multiple BSSIDs. Because each Virtual AP has it own SSID and beacon, and up to 4
Virtual APs can be active simultaneously, multiple SSIDs are supported. Different clients
can connect to the Wireless Access Point using different SSIDs, with different security
settings.
x
Virtual APs Isolation. If desired, PCs and devices connecting to different Virtual APs
can be isolated from each other.
x
VLAN Support. The 802.1Q VLAN standard is supported, allowing traffic from differ-
ent sources to be segmented. Combined with the multiple SSID feature, this provides a
powerful tool to control access to your LAN.
x
WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Both 64 Bit
128 Bit, and 152 Bit keys are supported.
x
WPA support. Support for WPA is included. WPA is more secure than WEP, and
should be used if possible. Both TKIP and AES encryption methods are supported.
x
802.1x Support. Support for 802.1x mode is included, providing for the industrial-
strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization.
x
Radius Client Support. The Wireless Access Point can login to your existing Radius
Server (as a Radius client).
x
Radius MAC Authentication. You can centralize the checking of Wireless Station
MAC addresses by using a Radius Server.
x
Rogue AP Detection. The Wireless Access Point can detect unauthorized (Rouge)
Access Points on your LAN.
x
Access Control. The Access Control feature can check the MAC address of Wireless
clients to ensure that only trusted Wireless Stations can use the Wireless Access Point to
gain access to your LAN.
x
Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection is provided to
prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
Advanced Features
x Command Line Interface. If desired, the command line interface (CLI) can be used for
configuration. This provides the possibility of creating scripts to perform common con-
figuration changes.
