Ceiling Mount 802.11a/b/g Wireless Access Point
All brand names, product names, and trademarks
are the property of their respective owners.
The CEN-WAP-ABG-CM is a wireless access point that supports
IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi technology. In addition, the access point supports the
IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) industry standard. Using PoE
technology, the access point receives both power and data by way of a single
Ethernet cable.
Shipped with uniquely configured network identification settings, the
CEN-WAP-ABG-CM provides a secure wireless connection for Crestron
®
Wi-Fi touchpanels. As a result, additional configuration of the access point is
not required as part of the installation. To accommodate applications in which
customized configuration settings are desired, however, the access point
provides a Web-based configuration utility that offers a setup wizard as well
as additional network management settings.
