Wireless LAN Standards

(NWA-3160, NWA-3163) IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE

 

802.11g

 

(NWA-3166) IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE

 

802.11n

 

 

Wireless security

WEP, WPA(2), WPA(2)-PSK, 802.1x

 

 

Layer 2 isolation

Prevents wireless clients associated with your NWA from

 

communicating with other wireless clients, APs, computers or

 

routers in a network.

 

 

Multiple BSSID

MBSSID mode allows the NWA to operate up to 8 different

(MBSSID)

wireless networks (BSSs) simultaneously, each with

 

independently-configurable wireless and security settings.

 

 

Rogue AP detection

Rogue AP detection detects and logs unknown access points

 

(APs) operating in the area.

 

 

Internal RADIUS server

PEAP, 32-entry Trusted AP list, 128-entry Trusted Users list.

 

 

VLAN

802.1Q VLAN tagging.

 

 

STP (Spanning Tree

(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup

Protocol) / RSTP (Rapid

links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to

STP)

interact with other (R)STP-compliant bridges in your network to

 

ensure that only one path exists between any two stations on

 

the network.

 

 

WMM QoS

WMM (Wi-Fi MultiMedia) QoS (Quality of Service) allows you to

 

prioritize wireless traffic.

 

 

Certificates

The NWA can use certificates (also called digital IDs) to

 

authenticate users. Certificates are based on public-private key

 

pairs. Certificates provide a way to exchange public keys for

 

use in authentication.

 

 

SSL Passthrough

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) uses a public key to encrypt data

 

that's transmitted over an SSL connection. Both Netscape

 

Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL, and many Web

 

sites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information,

 

such as credit card numbers. By convention, URLs that require

 

an SSL connection start with “https” instead of “http”. The NWA

 

allows SSL connections to take place through the NWA.

 

 

MAC Address Filter

Your NWA checks the MAC address of the wireless station

 

against a list of allowed or denied MAC addresses.

 

 

Wireless Association List

With the wireless association list, you can see the list of the

 

wireless stations that are currently using the NWA to access

 

your wired network.

 

 

Logging and Tracing

Built-in message logging and packet tracing.

 

 

Embedded FTP and TFTP

The embedded FTP and TFTP servers enable fast firmware

Servers

upgrades as well as configuration file backups and restoration.
