Introduction
The Product
The product is based on the IEEE 802.11g standard, which is the latest 54Mbps Wireless LAN
(WLAN) standard. This standard is five times faster than the widely deployed WiFi (802.11b)
products that are found in homes, airport and public wireless hotspots. Because 802.11g uses the
same 2.4GHz frequency band, the product is fully interoperable with existing WiFi cards and
devices.
Having two wireless protocols in one product ensure that your investments are protected, while
enabling you to enjoy the fastest Wireless LAN speed.
This product could operate as either one of the following modes:
a. Access Point mode, or
b. Wireless Ethernet Bridge mode.
Product Features
Fully compatibility with IEEE 802.11g WLAN standard
Wireless data rate of up to 54Mbps
2.4GHz license-free frequency band
Adjustable Radio Transmit Power
Two LAN ports
Full backward compatibility with 802.11b standard (WiFi 11Mbps)
Management support for administration control with ID & password, Web and Telnet.
802.1x Authentication (For AP mode only). Used with a RADIUS server to check and
verify the identity of WLAN users.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). A simple WLAN encryption standard to protect wireless
data from sniffers.
WPA (WiFi Protected Access), for AP mode only. An improved WLAN encryption
standard where the secret key renew automatically at regular intervals.
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol). A new encryption key will be generated by
corporate RADIUS server when a authorized wireless adaptor/user associate with
the Access Point. This encryption key renew automatically at regular intervals. This
is normally used in high security enterprise networks.
Pre Shared Key (WPA-PSK). A new key is generated each time a wireless adaptor
connects to the Access Point. This normally used for home user without a RADIUS
server.
Intuitive Web-based configuration
Access Control List provides added security for AP mode.
