Ethernet Compatibility
Accton’s Wireless Access Point can attach directly to
The access point appears as an Ethernet node and performs a routing function by moving packets from the wired LAN to remote workstations on the wireless infrastructure.
Radio Characteristics
The Wireless Access Point uses a radio modulation technique known as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA).
It operates at the 5 GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) band with turbo mode. Data is transmitted over a
72 Megabits per second (Mbps) in the turbo mode, and with a maximum operating range up to 500 m (1650 feet).
LED Indicators
The Wireless Access Point includes three status LED indicators, as described in the following figure and table.
