Features and Benefits
IEEE Standards Support and Wi-Fi Compliance
• Support for IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g wireless networking standards
• Provides bandwidth of up to 11 Mbps for IEEE 802.11b and 54 Mbps for IEEE 802.11g
• Wi-Fi compliance required for certification
Wireless Features
• Auto channel selection at startup
• Transmit power adjustment
• Wireless Distribution System ( WDS ) for connecting multiple access points wirelessly. Extends your
network with less cabling and provides a seamless experience for roaming clients.
• Quality of Service ( QoS ) for enhanced throughput and better performance of time-sensitive wireless
traffic like Video, Audio, Voice over IP (VoIP) and streaming media. The Professional Access Point
QoS is Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) compliant.
• Load Balancing
• Built-in support for multiple SSID s (network names) and multiple BSSID s (basic service set IDs) on the
same access point
• Channel management for automatic coordination of radio channel assignments to reduce access-
point-to-access-point interference on the network and maximise Wi-Fi bandwidth
• Neighbouring access point detection finds nearby access points, including rogues.
• Support for multiple IEEE 802.11d Regulatory Domains (country codes for global operation)
Security Features
• Prohibit SSID Broadcast
• Station isolation
• Weak IV avoidance
• Wireless Equivalent Privacy ( WEP )
