Wireless Access Point User Guide

DHCP Client Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dy-
namic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Wireless Access
Point can act as a DHCP Client, and obtain an IP address and related information
from your existing DHPC Server.
Upgradeable Firmware. Firmware is stored in a flash memory and can be
upgraded easily, using only your Web Browser.
PoE Support. You can use PoE (Power over Ethernet) to provide power to the
Wireless Access Point, so only a single cable connection is required.
Security Features
Virtual APs. For maximum flexibility, wireless security settings are stored in
Virtual AP. Up to 4 Virtual APs can be defined and used as any time.
Multiple BSSIDs. Because each Virtual AP has it own SSID and beacon, and
up to 4 Virtual APs can be active simultaneously, multiple SSIDs are supported.
Different clients can connect to the Wireless Access Point using different SSIDs,
with different security settings.
Virtual APs Isolation. If desired, PCs and devices connecting to different
Virtual APs can be isolated from each other.
VLAN Support. The 802.1Q VLAN standard is supported, allowing traffic from
different sources to be segmented. Combined with the multiple SSID feature, this
provides a powerful tool to control access to your LAN.
WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Both 64
Bit 128 Bit, and 152 Bit keys are supported.
WPA support. Support for WPA is included. WPA is more secure than WEP,
and should be used if possible. Both TKIP and AES encryption methods are sup-
ported.
802.1x Support. Support for 802.1x mode is included, providing for the industri-
al-strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization.
Radius Client Support. The Wireless Access Point can login to your existing
Radius Server (as a Radius client).
Radius MAC Authentication. You can centralize the checking of Wireless
Station MAC addresses by using a Radius Server.
Rogue AP Detection. The Wireless Access Point can detect unauthorized
(Rouge) Access Points on your LAN.
Access Control. The Access Control feature can check the MAC address of
Wireless clients to ensure that only trusted Wireless Stations can use the Wireless
Access Point to gain access to your LAN.
Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection is
provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and
settings.
Advanced Features
Command Line Interface. If desired, the command line interface (CLI) can be
used for configuration. This provides the possibility of creating scripts to perform
common configuration changes.
Auto Configuration. The Wireless Access Point can perform self-configuration
by copying the configuration data from another Access Point. This feature is
enabled by default.
