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.
