Section 1 About WAP11 V2.2
Introduction
The 22 Mbps WAP11 V2.2 is a long-range, high performance and high powered LAN product, which
provides WAP11 V2.2 services to a 2,4 GHz RF network and bridges to an Ethernet backbone. The design of
this product is based on Taxes Instrument’ s ACX100 chip, a highly integrated ASIC designed to combine
legacy LANs with wireless LANs. ACX100 performs all the necessary inter-networking and bridging
functions. It receives data from both networks, stores them locally for further processing, installs and
maintains connections and transmits the packets to the appropriate destination. Furthermore, ACX100
interfaces three more modules, the Ethernet PHY, the wireless PHY and the RAM modules, for allowing
compact system implementation and flexibility for supporting almost all the possible physical interfaces.
1-1 Features
– Supports 22 Mbps rates with automatic fallback to 11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps
– For the security aspects, current firmware supports 64/128/256 Bit WEP encryption/decryption and
Password Setting function.
– Ethernet MAC supports MII interface and 10/100Mbit Half/Full Duplex speeds
– Hardware modules for Packet Filtering and statistics gathering
– Dynamic SRAM, Flash interface for data buffering and program storage, supporting up to 16 MB of
memory
– Integrated 2 x 6K x 32 bit internal SRAM modules for fast 32-bit program execution and temporary
storage of data
– JTAG Boundary Scan (IEEE 1149.1) test access port for board-level production test
– Supports DHCP Client Function, Building to Building Bridge Function.
– Supports MAC Filtering function to avoid the WAP11 V2.2 loading thru connection with the
unauthorized MAC addresses.
– Supports Station information to check the association status with other stations.
– Supports Statistic data for the connection.
