MAP-3120
or truly Wireless network connectivity, PLANET Mesh Access Point, MAP-
F
3120, is designed with IEEE 802.11a/b/g standards and addressed on 
providing a high performance mesh network. It provides local wireless 
connectivity at any location over a self-adaptation mesh backhaul. All 
mesh nodes can operate at 2.4GHz for long range and better penetration, 
or at 5GHz to minimize the frequency interference. The detachable 
antennas design allows users to use proper antennas for various deploying 
requirements. 
Though there are multiple interfaces (LAN, WLAN, Backhaul) integrated 
in MAP-3120, they are all bridged with one single IP. This is layer 2 
operation. The layer 2 infrastructure is suitable for smaller scale mesh 
network. Comparing with layer 3 operation, the configurations and 
installations of a layer 2 infrastructure will be simpler and easier. Without 
the extra resource consuming on routing, the overall performance of layer 
2 operation is better than layer 3 operation.
To facilitate the administration task throughout the mesh network, PLANET 
provides a centralized managing software: MAP Management System. 
This software is built based on SNMP protocol and can be installed in a 
computer. After launching, this software can locate and monitor all MAP-
3120 in the same network. The graphical interface allows administrator to 
understand the whole network status in seconds.
IEEE 802.1x,  IEEE802.1i WPA/ WPA2, and VPN pass-through •  
mechanisms
Supports Wireless Separation, Watchdog mechanism• 
Supports SNMP v2c, v3• 
IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet capable• 
Applications
Enterprise / Warehouse Deployment
Each MAP-3120 forms an individual operational node, and it will 
automatically locate and associate to the existing Mesh network. 
Deploying with single IP segment, the MAP-3120 form a Layer 2 mesh 
network, which is easy to install and manage. As more equipments 
installed, the infrastructure can be expanded more flexible and easier. 
Thus it makes the perfect solution for medium scale deployment (less 
than 250 users), such as warehouses, and the Enterprise buildings.
