1.2.1.4 G-1000 LED

The blue G-1000 LED (also known as the Breathing LED) is on when the G-1000 is on and blinks (or breaths) when data is being transmitted to/from its wireless stations. You may use the web configurator to turn this LED off even when the G-1000 is on and data is being transmitted/received.

1.2.2 Firmware Features

1.2.2.1 Internal RADIUS Server

The G-1000 has a built-in RADIUS server that can authenticate wireless clients or other AP’s in other wireless networks.The G-1000 can also function as an AP and as a RADIUS server at the same time.

1.2.2.2 Wi-Fi Protected Access

The G-1000 supports WPA and WPA2. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i security specification draft. WPA supports user authentication, and it provides better data encryption than WEP. WPA2 is similar to WPA but provides even stronger data encryption than WPA.

1.2.2.3 802.11b Wireless LAN Standard

The G-1000 complies with the 802.11b wireless standard.

The 802.11b data rate and corresponding modulation techniques are shown in the table below. The modulation technique defines how bits are encoded onto radio waves.

Table 1 IEEE 802.11b

DATA RATE (MBPS)	MODULATION
1	DBPSK (Differential Binary Phase Shifted Keying)
2	DQPSK (Differential Quadrature Phase Shifted Keying)
5.5 / 11	CCK (Complementary Code Keying)
