Introduction

Wireless Features (ADW-4300 only)
·
Standards Compliant.
The ADW-4300 complies with the IEEE802.11g (DSSS)
specifications for Wireless LANs.
·
Supports both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations.
The 802.11g
standard provides for backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so both
802.11b and 802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously.
·
Speeds to 54Mbps.
All speeds up to the 802.11g maximum of 54Mbps are
supported.
·
WEP support.
Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key
sizes of 64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported. WEP encrypts any data before trans-
mission, providing protection against snoopers.
·
WPA-PSK support.
Like WEP, WPA-PSK encrypts any data before transmis-
sion, providing protection against snoopers. The WPA-PSK is a later standard than
WEP, and provides both easier configuration and greater security than WEP.
·
Wireless MAC Access Control.
The Wireless Access Control feature can
check the MAC address (hardware address) of Wireless stations to ensure that
only trusted Wireless Stations can access your LAN.
·
Simple Configuration.
If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be
changed quickly and easily.
LAN Features
·
4-Port Switching Hub.
The ADE-4300/ADW-4300 incorporates a 4-port
10/100BaseT switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.

4300 can act as a
DHCP Server
for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.
Configuration & Management
·
Easy Setup.
Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for
configuration.
·
Configuration File Upload/Download.
Save (download) the configuration
data from the ADE-4300/ADW-4300 to your PC, and restore (upload) a previously-
saved configuration file to the ADE-4300/ADW-4300.
·
Remote Management.
The ADE-4300/ADW-4300 can be managed from any
PC on your LAN or Wireless LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also
(optionally) be configured via the Internet.
·
Network Diagnostics.
You can use the ADE-4300/ADW-4300 to perform a
Ping
or
DNS lookup

Security Features
·
Password - protected Configuration
. Password protection is provided to
prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
·
Wireless LAN Security
.
(ADW-4300 only)
WPA-PSK, WEP and Wireless
access control by MAC address are all supported. The MAC-level access control
feature can be used to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your
LAN.
·
NAT Protection.
An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation)
technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the loca-
