INSTALLATION AND MANAGEMENT CONVENIENCE
Simple installation No need to drill holes or run Ethernet cabling to set up your network.
WDS bridge and repeater configuration APs function as bridges supporting point-to-point or multipoint modes; repeater mode extends wireless
coverage.
PoE support Expands installation options by eliminating the need for power adapters and AC outlets for APs.
Universal access method (UAM) support Lets you deploy the AP in hot spots or other sites where usage is tracked for billing purposes.
Access Point Discovery program Automatically discovers AP devices to simplify configuration and management.
SNMP support Enables the AP to be centrally managed by popular standards-based network management applications.
Auto configuration Copies settings from compatible APs on the WLAN, simplifying and speeding setup.
Syslog support Enables the AP to be centrally monitored by sending data to the network Syslog server.
Web browser-based administration Familiar browser interface lets you configure and manage APs from anywhere on the network.
Auto firmware update Automatically checks an FTP server for available firmware updates.
FREEDOM TO CHOOSE A BETTER NETWORK
Choose from several
power options to match
your installation needs.
First, the PoE access point
can be powered with the
supplied power adapter.
You can also power the
access point using an
802.3af-compliant PoE
switch. The switch
provides both data and
power through the
Ethernet cable.
The midspan solution distributes power
to the PoE access point over existing switch
connections, seamlessly extending network
connectivity into hard to wire locations.
