Chapter 1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing WAP-4000. WAP-4000 is an IEEE 802.11g Wireless Access Point. IEEE

802.11g uses 2.4GHz frequency band, the same as IEEE 802.11b; but it provides more throughput rate

than 802.11b. The maximum throughput rate of 802.11g can up to 54Mbps. WAP-4000 is also backward

compatible and interoperable with IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless devices. Except for 64/128bit WEP

encryption, WAP-4000 also integrates 802.1X authentication. Cooperating with a RADIUS server can

make your wireless LAN more secure then ever. Provided with one reversed-polarity SMA male

connector, WAP-4000 is easy to connect external antenna and booster to extend the wireless distance.
