Introduction
Wireless Features
•
Standards Compliant.
The ADW-4302v2 complies with the IEEE802.11g (DSSS)
specifications for Wireless LANs.
•
Supports both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations.
The 802.11g standard
provides for backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so both 802.11b
and 802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously.
•
Speeds to 54Mbps.
All speeds up to the 802.11g maximum of 54Mbps are
supported.
•
WEP support.
Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key
sizes of 64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported. WEP encrypts any data before trans-
mission, providing protection against snoopers.
•
WPA-PSK support.
Like WEP, WPA-PSK encrypts any data before transmission,
providing protection against snoopers. The WPA-PSK is a later standard than
WEP, and provides both easier configuration and greater security than WEP.
•
Wireless MAC Access Control.
The Wireless Access Control feature can check
the MAC address (hardware address) of Wireless stations to ensure that only
trusted Wireless Stations can access your LAN.
•
Simple Configuration.
If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be
changed quickly and easily.
LAN Features
•
4-Port Switching Hub.
The ADW-4302v2 incorporates a 4-port 10/100BaseT
switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.
•
DHCP Server Support.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dy-
namic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The ADW-4302v2 can
act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.
Configuration & Management
•
Easy Setup.
Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for
configuration.
•
Configuration File Upload/Download.
Save (download) the configuration data
from the ADW-4302v2 to your PC and restore (upload) a previously-saved con-
figuration file to the ADW-4302v2.
•
Remote Management.
The ADW-4302v2 can be managed from any PC on your
LAN or Wireless LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally)
be configured via the Internet.
•
Network Diagnostics.
You can use the ADW-4302v2 to perform a
Ping
or
DNS
lookup
.
Security Features
•
Password - protected Configuration
. Password protection is provided to pre-
vent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
•
Wireless LAN Security
.
WPA-PSK, WEP and Wireless access control by MAC
address are all supported. The MAC-level access control feature can be used to
prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN.
•
NAT Protection.
An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation)
technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the loca-
tion and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint,
there is no network, only a single device - the ADW-4302v2.
