User's Manual

Wireless Access Point User Guide
2
• Bridge Mode Support. The Wireless Access Point can operate in Bridge Mode,
connecting to another Access Point. Both PTP (Point to Point) and PTMP (Point to Multi-
Point) Bridge modes are supported.
And you can even use both Bridge Mode and Access Point Mode simultaneously!
• 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.
• Upgradeable Firmware. Firmware is stored in a flash memory and can be upgraded
easily, using only your Web Browser.
• Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be changed
quickly and easily.
• 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
• VLAN Support. The 802.1Q VLAN standard is supported, allowing traffic from
different sources to be segmented. Combined with the multiple SSID feature, this provides
a powerful tool to control access to your LAN.
• WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. 64 Bit, 128 Bit
and 152 Bit keys are all supported.
• WPA support. Support for WPA is included. WPA is more secure than WEP, and
should be used if possible.
• WPA2 support. This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater
security, using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.
• 802.1x Support. Support for 802.1x mode is included, providing for the industrial-
strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization.
• Radius Client Support. The Wireless Access Point can login to your existing Radius
Server (as a Radius client).
• Radius MAC Authentication. You can centralize the checking of Wireless Station
MAC addresses by using a Radius Server.
• 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.
• Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection is provided to
prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
Advanced Features
• Radius Accounting Support. If you have a Radius Server, you can use it to provide
accounting data on Wireless clients.
• Syslog Support. If you have a Syslog Server, the Wireless Access Point can send its log
data to your Syslog Server.
• SNMP Support. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is supported, allowing
you to use a SNMP program to manage the Wireless Access Point.
