SPEEDLAN 9200 Features
The SPEEDLAN 9000 series introduces the second generation of wireless routers. The
SPEEDLAN 9200 offers the following new features:
• New Wireless Mode parameters (e.g., 5GHz OFDM, 2.4GHz DSSS or
2.4GHz OFDM), Preamble, Tx power and SSID). For more information, see
Configuring the Radio Parameters, page 3-38.
• Double the transmission rate with turbo mode, up to 108Mb/s for 5GHz
OFDM. For more information, see Configuring the Radio Parameters,
page 3-38.
• You can allow a mesh node in a 9200 network to communicate with a
SPEEDMesh-enabled client in adhoc mode. For more information, see
Enabling/Disabling the SPEEDMesh-Enabled Client, page 4-6.
• Provide network security between SPEEDMesh-enabled clients (PDAs and
laptops) and SPEEDLAN 9200 routers via WEP. In a SPEEDLAN 9200 network,
you can authenticate a SPEEDMesh-enabled client with a standard security
mechanism called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). WEP encrypts data that is
transmitted over the wireless LAN. WEP protects the wireless link between
clients and access points. Network administrators can control access via
standard 802.11 client using WEP. For more information, see B. Enabling WEP
Security Between a SPEEDMesh-Enabled Client and SPEEDLAN 9200,
page 4-5.
• Improve WLAN performance with Request to Send / Clear to Send (RTS/CTS).
For more information, see Request to Send (RTS) / Clear to Send (CTS),
page 4-8.
• Provide DHCP relay: This first release of the SPEEDLAN 9200 shall use the
DHCP relay function to forward DHCP requests from non-SPEEDLAN wireless
clients to one or more DHCP servers. Those DHCP servers maybe suitably
configured SPEEDLAN 9200 routers (in which they won’t relay), or they may be
dedicated servers, reachable through the Ethernet interfaces of one or more of
the SPEEDLAN 9200 routers. To configure DHCP relay, see Configuring DHCP
Relay, page 3-50.
• Support for DC input sources: Devices that lack AC power will require DC-to-
DC supply.
• At this time, star mode (i.e., base, point-to-point and CPE)
is not available. Only mesh mode is available.
