Outline of the FLEXLAN-DS540 series
The FLEXLAN DS540 series is a wireless LAN devices adopting 5GHz band OFDM, which has the
following features.
Features of the FLEXLAN-DS540 series
It conforms to IEEE802.11a/b/g standard(Lisence is not needed).
The FLEXLAN DS540 series corresponds to the wireless LAN standard IEEE802.11 a/b/g and you can
select the wireless Lan standard for the various purpose of constructing a network.
IEEE802.11a can coustruct the 5 GHz band wireless network with high-speed and less radio interference.
The 5 GH band wireless LAN provides a clearer radio communications environment than the 2.4 GHz
band wireless LAN.
IEEE802.11g allows you to construct a 2.4-GHz band wireless network compatible with IEEE802.11b
remaining popular so far. The network conforming to this standard can utilize resources of existing
IEEE802.11b compliant products, accepting smooth migration from an IEEE802.11b wireless LAN.
The FLEXLAN DS540 series is classified as “radio equipment for a radio station in a low-power data
communications system” defined in the Wireless Telegraphy Act, requiring no radio transmission
license

FX-DS110-APL Microsoft access point which confirms to IEEE802.11b.
Data transfer rate of 54 Mbps
IEEE802.11a/IEEE802.11g switches its data rate automatically to 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, or 6 Mbps
depending on the radio conditions.
Robust security provided
The FLEXLAN DS540 series supports the 64-, 128, and 152-bit types of WEP(RC4). Using WEP in
combination with WSL (Wireless Security Link with a proprietary cryptography) provides more robust
security. WEP can be used single-handedly, too. The FLEXLAN DS540 series will also support
IEEE802.1X(EAP-TLS) specifying the latest protocol for security.
Capable of interconnection with a Wi-Fi compliant wireless LAN device
The FLEXLAN DS540 series can communicate, using basic features, with a Wi-Fi compliant device such as a
non-FLEXLAN wireless LAN card, wireless LAN integrated notebook PC. With this feature, you can get the
most out of wireless LAN resources.
