1: Introduction
Introduction for WP54G 1D 6D multi-SSID firmware version
The Wireless Access Point with PoE is a high-performance access poi nt (AP) that
is designed for enterprise and public access applications. Embedded with the
Atheros chipset, it boasts network robustness, stability and wider network
coverage. Based on 802.11g, the access point supports high-speed data
transmission of up to 54Mbps in the 2.4GHz frequency band.
The access point is capable of operating in 7 modes: Access Point Mode, Client
Mode, Wireless Routing Client, Gateway Mode, Wireless Adapter Mode,
Transparent Client Mode, and Repeater Mode. Which makes it suitable for a
wide variety of wireless appli cations, including long-di stance deployments.
Equipped with an SMA connector for external antenna support, the access
point provides a wider coverage for your network. Moreover, its integrated
Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows the access point to be used in areas where
power outlets are not readily avail able.
To protect your security and privacy, the access point is armed with many
enhanced wireless security features such as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA),
WPA2 (with Advanced Encryption S tandard encryption) MAC Address Filtering,
IEEE 802.1x Authentication and 64/128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) to
ensure privacy for the heterogeneous mix of users within the same wireless
network.
The access point also incorporate s a unique set of adv anced features such as:
Virtual AP to deliver multiple servi ces; Long-Range parameter fine-tuning whic h
provide the access point with the ability to auto-cal culate parameters such as
slot time; ACK time-out a nd CTS time-out to achiev e a longer range; Spanning
Tree Protocol (STP) which provides extra redundancy and the ability to autoreconfigure when there are changes in the network topology; HTTPS which
feature additional authentication and encryption; and Telnet which allows
remote connection; and SSH which provides a secure host connection.
