1 Introduction
As a standalone Access Point, an AP7131 series Access Point provides small and medium-sized businesses with a
consolidated wired and wireless networking infrastructure, all in a single device. The integrated router, gateway,
firewall, DHCP and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) simplify and reduce the costs associated with networking by
eliminating the need to purchase and manage multiple pieces of equipment.
The Access Point is also designed to meet the needs of large, distributed enterprises by converging the
functionality of a thick Access Point and thin access port into a single device. This mode enables the deployment
of a fully featured intelligent Access Point that can be centrally configured and managed via a Motorola Solutions
wireless switch in either corporate headquarters or a network operations center (NOC). In the event the connection
between the Access Point and the wireless switch is lost, a Remote Site Survivability (RSS) feature ensures the
delivery of uninterrupted wireless services at the local or remote site. All traffic between the adaptive Access
Points and the wireless switch is secured though an IPSec tunnel. Additionally, compatibility with Motorola
Solutions’ RF Management Suite (RFMS) allows you to centrally plan, deploy, monitor and secure large
deployments.
An AP7131N model Access Point supports the same feature set as existing AP7131 model Access Points, however
AP7131N Access Points support a three radio model (with the third radio dedicated exclusively to WIPS support).
