Multiple-output (MU-MIMO) is enabled when operating in
5GHz mode for optimal performance.
The OAW-AP304 and OAW-AP305 access points work in
conjunction with an Alcatel-Lucent switch, while the
OAW-IAP304 and OAW-IAP305 access points can be
configured using a built-in virtual switch.
The 300 Series wireless access points provide the following
capabilities:
 IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless access
point
 IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless air monitor
