Chapter 1 – Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Dual Radio Access Point P-720.
The P-720 operates simultaneously in the 5-GHz and 2.4-GHz frequency bands and is fully compliant
to 802.11b/g and 802.11a standard with its high performance and enhance d security.
The two Dual-Band radio (a/g + a/g) that this product provides supplies the furthest in flexibility and
makes sure low interference and large coverage. The a+g operation mode and Multiple BSSID that
this product provides differentiates it from traditional indoor AP product.
Product Overview
Flexibility and high performance
The P-720 is a high performance indoor AP for multiple service. The two dual-band radios and
AP/Bridge working mode supply the furthest flexibility for wireless applications:
z Simultaneously supports 802.11a/b/g in one platform
z Dual AP configuration for high client density environment
z Dual AP configuration for supporting all kinds of client (11a/b/g) simultaneously
z Dual Bridge configuration for wireless repeating and wireless bridging areas
Secure and reliable wireless networking
The P-720 supplies multiple methods to protect the wireless network:
z Supports VLAN, up to 16 VLAN tagging
z IEEE 802.1x/EAP with certificates and SIM card (EAP/TLS, EAP/PEAP, EAP/SIM and
EAP/TTLS)
z 64bits/128bits static and dynamic WEP key
z WPA(TKIP and AES)
z WPA2
z Layer 2 Isolation for preventing snooping on the same BSS
z MAC ACL for preventing illegal attacking from Internet
Multiple BSSID
Supports up to16 BSSID, each BSSID can be configured independently, such as Multiple SSID,
security policy, authentication method, RADIUS server and VLAN tag. With this, P-720 can supply
multiple services, including multiple VLAN partition and multiple security policy.
Simple Installation
Support IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet as well as external power supply by power adaptor. This
reduces the cost and the effort of installation and maintenance dramatically.
Easy remote management and maintenance
Page 5 of 51
P-720 User’s Guide v1.0 Jun 10, 2005
The P-720 can be remote managed by HTTPs, CLISH and SNMP.
z Web-based user interface based on HTTPs and CLISH config uration based on SSHv2 supplies
secure remote management
z NMS product supplies the system management solution
z DHCP Server/DHCP Relay service supplies flexibility for different network setup
z Remote software upgrading via HTTPs
Management Option
You can use the Access Point management systems through the following interfaces:
Web-browser interface
Command Line interface (CLI) with optional SSH
