Introduction

Wireless Features

•Standards Compliant. The ADW-4302v2 complies with the IEEE802.11g (DSSS) specifications for Wireless LANs.

•Supports both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations. The 802.11g standard provides for backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously.

•Speeds to 54Mbps. All speeds up to the 802.11g maximum of 54Mbps are supported.

•WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key sizes of 64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported. WEP encrypts any data before trans- mission, providing protection against snoopers.

•WPA-PSK support. Like WEP, WPA-PSK encrypts any data before transmission, providing protection against snoopers. The WPA-PSK is a later standard than WEP, and provides both easier configuration and greater security than WEP.

•Wireless MAC Access Control. The Wireless Access Control feature can check the MAC address (hardware address) of Wireless stations to ensure that only trusted Wireless Stations can access your LAN.

•Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be changed quickly and easily.

LAN Features

•4-Port Switching Hub. The ADW-4302v2 incorporates a 4-port 10/100BaseT switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.

•DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dy- namic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The ADW-4302v2 can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.

Configuration & Management

•Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for configuration.

•Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the configuration data from the ADW-4302v2 to your PC and restore (upload) a previously-saved con- figuration file to the ADW-4302v2.

•Remote Management. The ADW-4302v2 can be managed from any PC on your LAN or Wireless LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be configured via the Internet.

•Network Diagnostics. You can use the ADW-4302v2 to perform a Ping or DNS lookup.

Security Features

•Password - protected Configuration. Password protection is provided to pre- vent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.

•Wireless LAN Security. WPA-PSK, WEP and Wireless access control by MAC address are all supported. The MAC-level access control feature can be used to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN.

•NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the loca- tion and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device - the ADW-4302v2.
