1 Product Overview
Thank you for using the ALL0558N. It is a powerful and enhanced business-class product with
4 multi-functions: Access Point, Client Bridge, WDS, and Client Router.
ALLNET’ ALL0558N uses the latest wireless standard, 802.11n, which allows for faster wireless
throughput. The ALL0558N affords a great advantage to minimize the time and cost which is
required to expand your network. It operates at 5GHz and is also backwards compatible with
802.11a networking equipment.
The ALL0558N is easy to install almost anywhere with included proprietary Power over
Ethernet adapter for quick outdoor installation. In addition, the ALL0558N can manage
power level control, and it features narrow bandwidth selection,
traffic shaping and real-time
RSSI indication. The ALL0558N fully supports wireless encryption including Wi-Fi Protected
Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), (64/128/152)-bit WEP Encryption, and IEEE 802.1x with RADIUS.
Additionally, the ALL0558N is an ideal choice to pair with the ALL0558N in a Access Point –
Client Bridge or WDS Bridge – WDS Bridge topology.
The ALL0558N utilizes a proprietary PoE adapter. Only use the supplied
PoE adapter. Damage may occur if another PoE adapter is used.
1.1 Features
The following list describes the design and scope of the ALL0558N made possible through the
power and flexibility of wireless LANs:
a)
Difficult-to-wire environments
There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. For example, historic
and older buildings as well as open areas and cross-street architectures make the
installation of LANs either impossible or very expensive.
b)
Temporary workgroups
Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster-recovery,
temporary offices and construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN
established and removed at a future date. The ALL0558N is easy to place into and
remove from production.
c)
The ability to access real-time information
Doctors and nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can access
