BeWAN Wi-Fi AP54
5
Foreword
The BeWAN Wi-Fi AP54 access point provides users with simple, rapid and secure access to a
wireless LAN network, allowing them to connect to the Internet or work in a room without a wired
network connection. The BeWAN Wi-Fi AP54 provides you with a fast connection of up to 54
Mbps with other equipment using the 802.11g standard, and remains compatible with the 802.11b
standard.
The access point also provides you with security (encryption function ensuring the integrity of the
data transferred with wireless clients and checking of remote Wireless equipment’s MAC address)
and other improved functions, without compromising its interoperability with all 802.11 or 802.11b
wireless LAN equipment (allowing communication with equipment produced by other
manufacturers) and wired, Ethernet-type networks.
This Access Point (or AP), can be used to link up Stations (clients: laptop or desktop computers
with a Wireless USB adapter or card) and the wired network. By interconnecting different Wireless
devices, it acts as a bridge and its role can be compared to that of a hub or switch in a cable
environment.
Note: in order to optimise traffic, you are advised to limit the number of users to ten.
It is also possible to install and link several Access Points together in a network, to increase the
number of users and the operating range. Within the company, it is then possible to move around
freely, without interrupting the connection (Roaming function). The wireless network (WLAN or
Wireless LAN) uses radio waves and provides wireless access to all network resources and services
within the company, in one or several buildings.
