SSL Passthrough SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) uses a public key to encrypt data
that's transmitted over an SSL connection. Both Netscape
Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL, and many Web
sites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information,
such as credit card numbers. By convention, URLs that require
an SSL connection start with “https” instead of “http”. The NWA
allows SSL connections to take place through the NWA.
MAC Address Filter Your NWA checks the MAC address of the wireless station
against a list of allowed or denied MAC addresses.
Wireless Association List With the wireless association list, you can see the list of the
wireless stations that are currently using the NWA to access
your wired network.
Logging and Tracing Built-in message logging and packet tracing.
Embedded FTP and TFTP
Servers The embedded FTP and TFTP servers enable fast firmware
upgrades as well as configuration file backups and restoration.
Auto Configuration Administrators can use text configuration files to configure the
wireless LAN settings for multiple APs. The AP can
automatically get a configuration file from a TFTP server at
start up or after renewing DHCP client information.
SNMP SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol
used for exchanging management information between
network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol
suite. Your NWA supports SNMP agent functionality, which
allows a manger station to manage and monitor the NWA
through the network. The NWA supports SNMP version one
(SNMPv1) and version two c (SNMPv2c). The NWA-3165 also
supports version 3 (SNMPv3).
DFS DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) allows a wider choice of
802.11a wireless channels.
CAPWAP (Control and
Provisioning of Wireless
Access Points) The NWA can be managed via CAPWAP, which allows multiple
APs to be configured and managed by a single AP controller.
