–
Point-to-Point Bridge.
In this mode, the MaxR-3210 only communicates with another
bridge-mode wireless access point (with or without clients). Network authentication
should be used to protect this communication.
–
Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge.
Select this only if this MaxR-3210 is the “Master” for a
group of bridge-mode wireless access points. The other bridge-mode wireless access
points send all traffic to this “Master”, and do not communicate directly with each other.
Network Authentication should be used to protect this traffic.
•
Hotspot Settings.
You can allow the first HTTP (TCP, port 80) request, on client association,
to be captured and redirected to the URL you specify.
•
Upgradeable Firmware.
Firmware is stored in a flash memory and can be upgraded easily,
using only your Web browser, and can be upgraded remotely. In addition to using Web
browser to do so, command-line interface and SNMP can also be used.
•
Rogue AP detection
. The Rogue AP detection feature shows a list of unknown APs to the
administrator.
•
Access Control.
The Access Control MAC address filtering feature can ensure that only
trusted wireless stations can use the MaxR-3210 to gain access to your LAN.
•
Security Profiles.
When using multiple BSSIDs, you can configure unique security settings
(encryption, SSID, etc.) for each BSSID.
•
Hidden Mode.
The SSID is not broadcast, assuring only clients configured with the correct
SSID can connect.
•
Secure Telnet Command Line Interface.
The secure Telnet command line interface enables
direct secure access over the serial port and easy scripting of configuration of multiple MaxR-
3210s across an extensive network via the Ethernet interface. An SSH client is required.
•
Configuration Backup.
Configuration settings can be backed up to a file and restored.
•
Power over Ethernet.
Power can be supplied to the MaxR-3210 over the Ethernet port from
any 802.3af compliant mid-span or end-span source.
•
Autosensing Ethernet Connection with
Auto Uplink
I
nterface.
Connects to 10/100/1000
Mbps IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks.
•
LED Indicators.
Power/Test, LAN speed, LAN activity, and wireless activity for each radio
mode are easily identified.
•
Wireless Multimedia (WMM) Support.
WMM is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WMM
allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities, depending on the kind of data. Time-
dependent information, like video or audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic. For
WMM to function correctly, Wireless clients must also support WMM.
