Wi-Fi Mini-Physical Interface Module Overview
The Wi-Fi Mini-Physical Interface Module (Mini-PIM) for branch SRX Series Services Gateways provides
a branch-in-a-box solution (which includes an SRX Series device, LTE, and wi-fi) for retail and small office
deployments. The Mini-PIM has an embedded enterprise-class wireless system-on-chip (SOC) that supports
the 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless standards. The Mini-PIM is backward-compatible with 802.11a, 802.11b,
802.11g, and 802.11n.
The Mini-PIM supports the following key features:
•
2x2 MU-MIMO—Enables transmission of data to multiple clients simultaneously.
•
Dual radios—Provides concurrent dual bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The radios operate in any one of
the supported radio modes. You can configure each radio to support connectivity from one type of client
or different types of clients.
•
Virtual access points (VAPs)—Allows you to segment the WLAN into multiple broadcast domains that
are the wireless equivalent of Ethernet VLANs. A single access point is segregated into multiple individual
VAPs, simulating multiple access points in a single system.
NOTE: You can configure up to eight VAPs on each radio.
•
Configurable transmit power—Enables you to configure the transmit power for each radio on a percentage
basis. By default, the Mini-PIM assigns 100 percent power to each radio at startup to provide maximum
coverage.
•
Wireless security for client authentication—The Mini-PIM supports the following authentication methods:
•
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Personal, which includes AES-CCMP with preshared key authentication.
•
WPA Enterprise, which includes AES-CCMP with RADIUS server authentication.
•
MAC authentication, where wireless clients are allowed or denied network access based on their MAC
address.
The Mini-PIM is supported on the SRX320, SRX340, SRX345, and SRX550M devices and can coexist with
other Mini-PIMs supported on these devices.
