FEATURES AND BENEFITS

The access point has been designed for high performance and offers a rich suite of features, with which you should acquaint yourself to be able to exploit your access point’s full potential.

!Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

This feature allows linking of several access points, virtually creating a larger network infrastructure that allows mobile users to roam wirelessly, while still being able to access network resources.

!Wireless Pseudo VLAN

The unique Wireless Pseudo VLAN technology is a feature that allows wireless clients to be segmented individually or into workgroups, thus blocking access to another user’s/group’s PCs, and enhancing the privacy of the wireless clients. This is especially useful in public hotspot deployment.

!Highly Secured Wireless Network

The access point supports the highest available wireless security standard: Wi-Fi Protected Access 2. WPA2 has two different modes: WPA2-Personal for SOHO users and WPA2-Enterprise for Enterprise users. The access point also supports IEEE 802.1x for secure and centralized user-based authentication. Wireless clients are thus required to authenticate through highly secure methods like EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and EAP-PEAP, in order to obtain access to the network.

!Smart Select

This feature will automatically scan and recommend the best channel that the access point can utilize.

!uConfig Utility

The exclusive uConfig utility allows users to access the user-friendly Web configuration interface of the access point without having to change the TCP/IP setup of the workstation.

!STP

Spanning-Tree Protocol provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. It forces certain redundant data paths into a standby (blocked) state. If one network segment in the Spanning-Tree Protocol becomes unreachable, or if Spanning-Tree Protocol costs change, the spanning-tree algorithm reconfigures the spanning-tree topology and re-establishes the link by activating the standby path.
