General information about the access point
The AP ETH-A and AP-ETH-A-A access points are used to establish a WLAN connection between various
devices via the Ethernet interface (10/100 MBit/s) using the Internet or LAN, or to connect various WLAN-LAN
networks with each other.
The standard AP ETH-A and AP-ETH-A-A access points have an Ethernet 10/100 MBit/s port and an integrated
WLAN interface (IEEE 802.11 n/b/g).
Configuration is carried out via a password-protected web interface. The web interface provides detailed
statistics about the activities of the access point and the signal strength, as well as a detailed log. The access
point supports functions such as DHCP and NTP, among others. Thanks to the OpenWRT open-source
operating system on which it is based, the access point can be configured and operated in many ways.
Examples of potential applications:
•
Extension of an Ethernet cable network by adding WLAN functions
•
Integration of wired network devices (e.g. PLC controls) into an existing WLAN
•
Replacement of network connections that are difficult to wire with transparent WLAN bridges
•
Expansion of existing WLAN networks
