Wireless Access Point User Guide

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.

PoE Support. You can user PoE (Power over Ethernet) to provide power to the Wireless Access Point, so only a single cable connection is required.

Security Features

WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Both 64 Bit and 128 Bit keys are supported.

WPA support. Support for WPA is included. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should be used if possible. Both TKIP and AES encryption methods are supported.

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.

Dynamic WEP key Support. In 802.1x mode, either fixed or Dynamic WEP keys can be used.

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

Command Line Interface. If desired, the command line interface (CLI) can be used for configuration. This provides the possibility of creating scripts to perform common con- figuration changes.

NetBIOS & WINS Support. Support for both NetBIOS broadcast and WINS (Win- dows Internet Naming Service) allows the Wireless Access Point to easily fit into your existing Windows network.

Radius Accounting Support. If you have a Radius Server, you can use it to provide accounting data on Wireless clients.

SNMP Support. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is supported, allowing you to use a SNMP program to manage the Wireless Access Point.

UAM Support. The Wireless Access Point supports UAM (Universal Access Method), making it suitable for use in Internet cafes and other sites where user access time must be accounted for.

WDS Support. Support for WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows the Wireless Access Point to act as a Wireless Bridge. Both Point-to-Point and Multi-Point Bridge modes are supported.
