DATA SHEET
11Mbps Wireless Access Point
The Compex WP11A+ Wireless LAN access point is a cost-effective and simple -to­install access point. With a web-based management interface, it can easily be config­ured. In addition, it has the ability to be configured locally or remotely. Built with Pseudo VLAN segmentation technology, the WP11A+ provides wireless clients with added privacy in addition to the standard 64-bit or 128-bit Wire Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption. This feature is especially useful in public hotspot deploy­ments. Compex WP11A+ is designed with an interface that allows the connection to an external antenna for a wider wireless network coverage. Compex WP11A+ can function in 4 different modes: Access Point Bridge mode, Access Point Client Mode, Gateway mode and Wireless Routing Client mode. These versatile functionalities make the WP11A+ the ideal solution for a wireless network installation.
Pseudo Virtual LAN
The Compex unique Wireless Pseudo VLAN technology is a feature that allows a wireless client or groups of wireless clients to be segmented wirelessly into its individual work­group, or individual node, thus enhancing the privacy of the wireless clients. This is especially useful in public hotspot deploy­ments.
Wireless Routing Client Capability
The Wireless Routing Client mode enables Internet Service Providers or offices to send their data packets wirelessly. These network packets will be routed to a wired Local Area Network via the WP11A+.
Easy Installation
Installing the WP11A+ Wireless LAN Access Point is simple. Simply plug it into any existing wired network and the access point is able to communicate with all the wireless cli­ents that has the same Extended Service Set ID (ESSID).
Universal Configuration Software
The Compex uConfig software allows users to get onto the web-based configur a­tion interface of the WP11A+ without changes to the TCP/IP settings of the PC.
Web-based Management Interface
The WP11A+’s embedded HTTP server allows configuration of features on a user friendly web-based management interface. In addition, firmware upgrades are also done through this interface.
Reliable Operations
Dynamic rate shifting will automatically select the best speed for wireless connec­tions (11, 5.5, 2, 1 Mbps). It ensures reli­able connections even at long range or in noisy environments.
Optional External Antenna
The optional iWavePort WA-HGA-5+ Indoor Range Extender allows wider wireless coverage and better performance when used in combination with the Net­Passage WP11A+.
