1500WR Wireless Router LED
The blue 1500WR Wireless Router LED (also known as the Breathing LED) is on when the 1500WR Wireless
Router is on and blinks (or breaths) when data is being transmitted to/from its wireless stations. You may use
the web configurator to turn this LED off even when the 1500WR Wireless Router is on and data is being
transmitted/received.
802.11b Wireless LAN Standard
1500WR Wireless Router products containing the letter “B” in the model name, such as 1500WR Wireless Router
B-2000, 1500WR Wireless Router B-2000 v.2, comply with the 802.1 lb wireless standard.
The 802.1 lb data rate and corresponding modulation techniques are as follows. The modulation technique
defines how bits are encoded onto radio waves.
Output Power Management
Power Management is the ability to set the level of output power.
There may be interference or difficulty with channel assignment when there is a high density of APs
within a coverage area. In this case you can lower the output power of each Wireless Router, thus
enabling you to place Wireless Routers closer together.
Limit the number of Client Connections
You may set a maximum number of wireless stations that may connect to the 1500WR Wireless
Router. This may be necessary if for example, there is difficulty with channel assignment due to a high
density of APs within a coverage area.
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 1500WR Wireless Router allows
SSL connections to take place through the 1500WR Wireless Router.
Firewall
The 1500WR Wireless Router employs a stateful inspection firewall with DoS (Denial of Service)
protection. By default, when the firewall is activated, all incoming traffic from the WAN to the LAN is
blocked unless it is initiated from the LAN. The 1500WR Wireless Router firewall supports TCP/UDP
inspection, DoS detection and prevention, real time alerts, reports and logs.
IEEE 802.1 x Network Security
The 1500WR Wireless Router supports the IEEE 802. lx standard to enhance user authentication.
Use the built-in user profile database to authenticate up to 32 users using MD5 encryption. Use an
EAP-compatible RADIUS (RFC2138,2139 - Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server to
authenticate a limitless number of users using EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). EAP is an
authentication protocol that supports multiple types of authentication.
Wireless LAN MAC Address Filtering
Your 1500WR Wireless Router checks the MAC address of the wireless station against a list of
allowed or denied MAC addresses.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the 1500WR Wireless Router and other UPnP-enabled devices
can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address and convey its capabilities to other devices on
the network.
