PRODUCT INFORMATION
AT-TQ2450
ENTERPRISE-CLASS, WIRELESS ACCESS POINT
WITH IEEE 802.11 DUAL-BAND RADIOS
The Allied Telesis AT-TQ2450 Enterprise grade wireless Access
Point (AP) is capable of 600Mbps throughput and operates at
both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies.
n
The AT-TQ2450 is based on IEEE
802.11n, with two-spatial-stream
Multiple Input and Multiple Output
(MIMO) technology. This technology
delivers speeds up to six times faster,
and provides up to three times wider
coverage than IEEE 802.11a/g.
The AT-TQ2450 can operate in either
standalone or companion mode with
a wireless access controller, thereby
meeting Enterprise business needs.
A centralized design allows lower-cost
Wireless LAN (WLAN) upgrades, and
reduces operating costs by making
your network simple to congure and
manage. A single point of management,
based on a Cluster Control feature,
allows you to easily manage all your
network APs.
The AT-TQ2450 with cluster
management provides greatly enhanced
performance levels, with:
» Simplied Plug and Play management
with automatic channel assignment
» Control of end-to-end Quality of
Service
» Continuous and adaptive radio
monitoring.
The Cluster Control feature is also
available when the device is in
standalone mode, because a master
device may be elected as the main
controller for provisioning, rmware
upgrade and dynamic RF coverage
arrangement.
The AT-TQ2450 is equipped with
advanced encryption and authentication
IEEE 802.11i capabilities. It protects
your WLAN by segmenting public and
private access with multiple Basic Service
Set Identications (BSSIDs) and VLAN
Tagging. Rogue AP detection provides
the ability to detect unauthorized access
points, thus preventing unauthorized
entry to your wireless network.
The AT-TQ2450 can be powered via
Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af - PoE) and is
desktop, wall, or ceiling mountable.

Key Features
Flexible management methodology
The AT-TQ2450 can operate in either standalone or
companion mode with a wireless access controller.
This flexibility allows you to select the management
approach that best fits your network.
For large scale network deployment, a wireless
controller offers a single point of management for
operation, administration, and maintenance of all
your APs.
Clustering is suitable for medium scale networks,
because a single management point synchronizes
provisioning for a group of APs. It also optimizes
wireless coverage, due to dynamic channel selection
among group members.
As a standalone AP, the AT-TQ2450 detects adjacent
APs and acts promptly to prevent radio interference.
IEEE 802.11n technology
Advanced IEEE 802.11n technology provides a highperformance, wireless link with improved bandwidth,
efficiency and robustness, and allows for backwards
compatibility with older IEEE 802.11a/b/g products.
This high level of throughput and range performance
supports multimedia applications such as
high-definition video streaming.
The AT-TQ2450 combines IEEE 802.11n technology
with antenna diversity, to mitigate the fading effect
of a multipath environment. This improves the
reliability and capacity of the MIMO system.
IEEE 802.11e (Wireless Multimedia)
Quality of Service (QoS) on WLAN optimizes
resource use and fulfills the requirements of
video, voice, and data applications Each of these
applications creates different latency, bandwidth
and packet error rate needs, and QoS caters for
each of these needs using data traffic prioritization.
IEEE 802.11i (Security)
This feature set facilitates strong encryption,
authentication and key management strategies,
guaranteeing data and system security. Besides
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and Counter
Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message
Authentication Code Protocol (CCMP), IEEE 802.1X
key distribution via RADIUS controls access to your
network.
Multiple-SSIDs and SSID-to-VLAN mapping
SSID enables wireless connectivity for client
devices that are assigned different security
policies. Mapping SSIDs to V LANs creates logical
network separation, which differentiates between
communication by application, functions or user
communities.
Dynamic VLANs
Dynamic VLANs allow VLA Ns to be dynamically
assigned on a per-user (wireless client) basis. The
Dynamic VLAN feature interacts with an external
RADIUS server, so that user information is
centralized in RADIUS for ease of management. You
do not have to configure user information on APs.
The AT-TQ2450 also supports RADIUS server
redundancy, via configuration of a secondary
RADIUS server.
PoE - IEEE 802. 3af con formance
AT-TQ2450 conforms to the IEEE 802.3af
standard. This gives you simplified deployment,
lower installation costs and centralized power
management capabilities for your critical network
devices.
Graphical User Interface
The Web-based user interface is user-friendly and
intuitive, minimizing training needs.
Mounting options
As well as simple desktop installation, the
AT-TQ2450 comes with an optional bracket to allow
wall and ceiling mounting. A Kensington lock-style
hole is also provided for anti-theft security.
