Introduction

 

PLANET WDAP-2000PE is an IEEE 802.11a+g dual band Wireless Ac-

cess Point with PoE. With the latest innovative Super A/G technology integrated, the maximum data rate of WDAP-2000PE is 108Mbps, which doubles the speed of standard 802.11a/g. WDAP-2000PE is also backward compatible and interoperable with IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless devices.

Emphasizing on the enterprise demand, WDAP-2000PE enhances many security and management features, including multiple SSIDs, VLAN, QoS, DiffServ support, WPA/WPA2, DoS Prevention and so on. The LAN port of WDAP-2000PE has PoE function conforming to IEEE 802.3af, providing both data transfers and power supply through one Ethernet cable. Therefore, it can be installed anywhere without the constraint on power socket. Provided with two reversed-polarity SMA male connector, WDAP-2000PE is easy to connect external antenna and booster to extend the wireless distance.
