Preface
Thank you for using Maipu high-performance wireless access point (AP). The AP
is the next-generation wireless access point of high performance based on
802.11n and can provide the wireless access rate six times of the traditional
802.11a/b/g. In addition, the AP can cover more extensive area.
The AP supports both the Fat and Fit work mode and can switch flexibly between
these two modes as required by the network planning. The AP needs to
cooperate with the wireless network controller when acting as a fit AP and can
be deployed independently when acting as a fat AP. By supporting the Fat and Fit
work modes, the AP can be smoothly upgraded to the large-scale network from
the small-size WLAN network. This can greatly protect the user investment.
The AP works at the 2.4GHz band and adopts the MIMO and OFDM technologies.
The AP can provide the data transmission rate with a maximum of 150 Mbps for
single channel and a maximum of 300 Mbps for the dual-channel.
In addition, the AP has the comfortable interface and combines the simple
interface, which enables the user to complete the setting quickly and enables
the user to use the AP more convenient and efficient.
Chapter 1: product overview, briefly describes the main AP feature and product
specifications.
Chapter 2: detailed configuration guide, instructs you to configure the AP
parameters and advanced features.

1.2 Main Features and
Specifications
1.2.1 Main Features
Easy to deploy
The AP can automatically detect the AC and delivers the configuration via the AC.
The wireless network can be enabled for the AP zero configuration. The AP can
integrate with the existing AP, firewall, authentication server, and other network
architecture seamlessly without changing the existing network architecture.
High-rate broadband wireless access
The AP supports 802.11a/b/g/n and works at the 2.4GHz band, providing
high-rate wireless access service of high quality for users.
Centralized management
The AP can act as a fit AP and cooperate with the AC. The AC uniformly controls
all the fit APs in the network and the status of all the devices can be viewed.
Comparing with the traditional fat AP, the AC and the fit AP application mode
greatly facilitate the administrator to manage the entire network.
AP centralized upgrade
The AP can achieve the centralized management by the wireless network
controller in the network and uniformly upgrade the AP to the latest version. The
AP can apply new firmware automatically without manual interference, which
reduces the workload of network maintenance. The feature is especially
important to the large-scale network.

User isolation policy
The AP supports the isolation between the wireless users. When this function
enabled, two wireless clients cannot communicate directly. The wireless client
can intelligently visit the upstream wired network. When applying this feature,
the carrier can force the wireless user to the specified gateway or server for
billing or more secure authentication, realizing the hotpot application.
Multiple forms and convenient installation
This series APs have multiple form design and can be applicable to different
installation scenarios. There is no need to smash the wall to lay out cables and
furnish the wall for the second time. The AP provides the wireless coverage
based on the wired network and can be installed conveniently and quickly.
Cooperating with the wireless network controller, the wireless AP can achieve
plug-and-play and AP zero configuration, and all the AP management, control,
and configuration are completed by the AC. The network management
personnel does not need to manage and maintain the mass of APs one by one,
and all actions, such as the configuration, firmware upgrade, and security policy
update can be delivered uniformly by the AC.
