AP981X/AP981WX In-Wall Poe Wireless-G AP/Bridge
 Supporting IEEE 802.1p/1Q Quality Service and IEEE801.11e Wireless Multi-Media
For bandwidth thirsty multimedia applications like voice, audio and video, AP981X/AP981WX
supports for IEEE 801.11e Wireless Multi-Media (WMM) and IEEE 802.1p/IEEE 802.1Q Quality of
Service (QoS) tagging features.
 Capability of Client Isolation and Serving as Multiple Virtual APs
Multiple-SSID capability is to use just one AP to simultaneously emulate up to 8 APs with different
BSSIDs by utilizing the Atheros™’s virtual AP (VAP) technology and separate their packets by using
different VLAN IDs. Hence, using one AP is able to act as if there are actually 4 different APs deployed
in the same area. Client isolation is also supported by AP981X/AP981WX that clients under an AP are
isolated with each other.
 Enterprise Class WLAN Security by Encryptions and Client Authentications
To protect data transmission over the air, AP981X/AP981WX can be configured to filter out
unauthorized wireless clients with built-in MAC-based access control list or via a back-end RADIUS
server by sending an authentication request when a client is trying to get connected to it.
Additionally, AP981X/AP981WX also has many advanced security options including 64/128/152 bit
WEP, WPA/WPA2 with IEEE 802.1x or PSK (Pre-Shared Key). Other security features included are:
Wireless LAN segmentation, Rouge AP detection, and Disable SSID Broadcast, and the option of
station-isolation.
 Multiple Administration Interfaces for Network Management
AP981X/AP981WX provides three types of administrative interfaces, web-based management
interface, CLI, and SNMP to configure and manage the network deployment.
 Built-In antenna
AP981X/AP981WX is embedded with a chip antenna providing E.I.R.P of 30db compared to the usual
20db from normal access points in the market place. As an option for special ODM design we have
reserved RF connector onboard to provide antenna diversity features.
