Chapter 2: Introduction
2.1 Overview of the AP
The CMP-WNAP10 54Mbps Wireless Access Point is the basic building block of a wireless
LAN infrastructure. It provides connectivity between Ethernet wired networks and
radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other
devices.
The CMP-WNAP10 54Mbps Wireless Access Point acts as a bridge between the wired LAN
and wireless clients. Connecting multiple CMP-WNAP10 Access Points via a wired
Ethernet backbone can further lengthen the wireless network coverage. As a mobile
computing device moves out of the range of one access point, it moves into the range of
another. As a result, wireless clients can freely roam from one Access Point to another
and still maintain seamless connection to the network.
In the most attentive wireless security, the CMP-WNAP10 54Mbps Wireless Access
Point provides multiple protection measures. It can be set to turn off wireless network
name (SSID) broadcast so that only stations that have the SSID can be connected. The
AP provides wireless LAN 64/128/152-bit WEP encryption security, and WPA/WPA2 and
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK authentication, as well as TKIP/AES encryption security. It also
supports VPN pass-through for sensitive data secure transmission.
The CMP-WNAP10 54Mbps Wireless Access Point complies with the IEEE 802.11g/b
standards so that the data transmission rate is up to 54Mbps. It adopts
2x to 3x eXtended
Range
TM
WLAN transmission technology
so that transmission distance is 2-3 times of
traditional IEEE 802.11g/b solutions, up to a distance of 855.36m tested in China.
Transmission range is extended to 4-9 times. It is compatible with all IEEE 802.11g and
IEEE 802.11b products.
