Anti-Theft Features
There are two methods of securing the access point to help prevent theft:
•
Security cable keyhole—You can use the security cable slot to secure the access point using a
standard security cable, such as those used on laptop computers.
•
Security hasp—When you mount the access point on a wall or ceiling using the mounting bracket
and the security hasp, you can lock the access point to the bracket with a padlock. Compatible
padlocks are Master Lock models 120T and 121T or equivalent.
Software Features
In addition to all the standard access point features, 1100 series access points also offer these software
features:
•
World mode—Use this feature to communicate the access point’s regulatory setting information,
including maximum transmit power and available channels, to world mode-enabled clients. Clients
using world mode can be used between countries with different regulatory settings and
automatically conform to local regulations.
•
Repeater mode—Configure the access point as a wireless repeater to extend the coverage area of
your wireless network.
•
Standby mode—Configure the access point as a standby unit that monitors another access point and
assumes its role in the network if the monitored access point fails.
•
Multiple SSIDs—Create up to 16 SSIDs on your access point and assign any combination of these
settings to each SSID:
–
Broadcast SSID mode for guests on your network
–
Client authentication methods
–
Maximum number of client associations
–
VLAN identifier
–
Proxy Mobile IP
–
RADIUS accounting list identifier
–
A separate SSID for infrastructure devices such as repeaters and workgroup bridges
•
VLANs—Assign VLANs to the SSIDs on your access point (one VLAN per SSID) to differentiate
policies and services between users.
•
QoS—Use this feature to support quality of service for prioritizing traffic from the Ethernet to the
access point. The access point also supports the voice-prioritization schemes used by 802.11b
wireless phones such as Spectralink's Netlink™ and Symbol’s Netvision™.
•
Proxy Mobile IP—Use this feature to configure the access point to provide proxy mobile IP service
for clients that do not have mobile IP software installed.
