1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this 802.11g Access Point (hereafter this product will be referred as The AP.
It supports IEEE802.11g/b, IEEE802.1x, IEEE 802.3/802.3u and IEEE 802.3af compliance devices. It
is designed to meet the mobility, performance, security, interoperability, manageability, and reliability
requirements in the ever demanding wireless networking application environments.
It is extremely easy and secure to set up its configuration via web browser. The AP’s SNMP feature
provides IT managers the ability to conveniently monitor the remote network device quickly. In
addition, its access control is achieved through the MAC address filtering and the WPA (WiFi
Protected Access) security algorithm meets the stringent security protection needs.
The AP provides bridging mode function which allows two geographically separated LANs to be
wirelessly interlinked in addition to serve as a WLAN base station (Access Point). Its repeater mode
function will extend the range of the existing radio network and its AP-Client mode function let The
AP be used as wireless NIC. Its external antenna design allows the use of third party antenna for
extended range and performance.
The AP is designed for the ease of installation and future upgradeability with features such as Power
