1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
The MIL-W2332G ShAir AccessG Pro Wireless Access Point/Bridge enables IEEE
802.11g or IEEE 802.11b client computers to access the resources on the Ethernet
network. With the sleek Web-based user interface and the included ShAir Wireless
Management Utility, a network administrator can easily and clearly manage the AP.
1.2 Features
• IEEE 802.11g
Operational modes
AP/Bridge. This mode provides both Access Point and Static LAN-to-LAN
Bridging functionality. The static LAN-to-LAN bridging function is supported
through Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
AP Client. This mode is for Dynamic LAN-to-LAN Bridging. The AP Client
automatically establishes bridge links with APs from any vendors.
RF type selection. The RF type of the WLAN interface can be configured to
work in IEEE 802.11b only, IEEE 802.11g only, or mixed mode (802.11g and
802.11b simultaneously).
64-bit and 128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). For authentication and
data encryption.
Enabling/disabling SSID broadcasts. When the AP is in AP/Bridge mode, the
administrator can enable or disable the SSID broadcasts functionality for secu-
rity reasons. When the SSID broadcasts functionality is disabled, a client com-
puter cannot connect to the AP with an “any” network name (SSID, Service Set
ID); the correct SSID has to be specified on client computers.
MAC-address-based access control. When the AP is in AP/Bridge mode, it
can be configured to block unauthorized wireless client computers based on
MAC (Media Access Control) addresses. The ACL (Access Control List) can be
downloaded from a TFTP server.
