INTRODUCTION

The Wireless 802.11b+g Access Point (AP) is an IEEE802.11g compliant access point.
It not only provides a high transfer rate up to 54Mbps, which is almost five times faster
than the already existing 11Mbps 802.11b products, but is also backward compatible with
the Wireless B equipments.

The AP provides 40/128/256 bit WEP encryption, WPA and IEEE802.1x, which ensures
a high level of security to protects users’ data and privacy. The MAC Address control
prevents the banned or unauthorized MAC Addresses from accessing your Wireless LAN.
Your network security is therefore double assured.

Placed anywhere along with an Ethernet LAN, the AP allows up to 200 wireless stations
within its area of coverage to access transparently to the corporate network.

The web-based configuration utility allows users to configure via web browser. Advanced
setup and firmware upgrade can be done easily.
