Section 1 About WAP11 V2.2

Introduction

The 22 Mbps WAP11 V2.2 is a long-range, high performance and high powered LAN product, which
provides WAP11 V2.2 services to a 2,4 GHz RF network and bridges to an Ethernet backbone. The design of
this product is based on Taxes Instrument’s ACX100 chip, a highly integrated ASIC designed to combine
legacy LANs with wireless LANs. ACX100 performs all the necessary inter-networking and bridging
functions. It receives data from both networks, stores them locally for further processing, installs and
maintains connections and transmits the packets to the appropriate destination. Furthermore, ACX100
interfaces three more modules, the Ethernet PHY, the wireless PHY and the RAM modules, for allowing
compact system implementation and flexibility for supporting almost all the possible physical interfaces.

1-1 Features

– Supports 22 Mbps rates with automatic fallback to 11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps
– For the security aspects, current firmware supports 64/128/256 Bit WEP encryption/decryption and

Password Setting function.

– Ethernet MAC supports MII interface and 10/100Mbit Half/Full Duplex speeds
– Hardware modules for Packet Filtering and statistics gathering
– Dynamic SRAM, Flash interface for data buffering and program storage, supporting up to 16 MB of

memory
– Integrated 2 x 6K x 32 bit internal SRAM modules for fast 32-bit program execution and temporary

storage of data

– JTAG Boundary Scan (IEEE 1149.1) test access port for board-level production test
– Supports DHCP Client Function, Building to Building Bridge Function.
– Supports MAC Filtering function to avoid the WAP11 V2.2 loading thru connection with the

unauthorized MAC addresses.

– Supports Station information to check the association status with other stations.
– Supports Statistic data for the connection.

1-3 Applications

The Wireless LAN product provides a fast, reliable, cost-effective solution, allowing clients to wirelessly
access the network in applications such as following:

3

1. Remote access to corporate network information

E-mail, file transfer and terminal emulation

2. Difficult-to-wire environments

Historical or listed buildings, asbestos installations, and open area where wiring is difficult to employ

3. Frequently changing environments

Retailers, manufacturers and banks who frequently rearrange the workplace and change location

4. Temporary LANs for special projects or peak time

Trade shows, exhibitions and construction sites needing temporary setup for a short time period. Retailers,

airlines and shipping companies needing additional workstations for a peak period. Auditors requiring

temporary workgroups at customer sites.

5. Access to database for mobile workers

Doctors, nurses, retailers and white-collar workers needing access to database while being mobile in the

hospital, retail store or office campus.

6. SOHO (Small Office and Home Office) users

SOHO users needing easy and quick installation of a small computer network.
