1.2 Product Descriptions

The SF-300 Wireless Access Bridge is a fully interoperable with IEEE802.11b
compliant product for wireless LAN system requires the use of this Wireless Access
Bridge. The Wireless Access Bridge extends wireless networking capability to desktop
PC, printer, scanner, medical equipment, manufacturing machinery, bar code data
collection and other data collection device. It provides a reliable, cost-effective
interface between device utilizing Ethernet ports and wireless LAN Access Point. The
Wireless Access Bridge can move freely under the coverage area of the Access Point
while remaining connected to the Ethernet network.

1.3 Product Features

z High RF Output Power 19dBm (typical)
z Power-over-Ethernet
z User authentication in Web-based manager
z MAC address based access control
z Wireless 64-/128-bit WEP encryption
z SNMP, SNMP MIB-II and proprietary MIBs (See the definition of the proprietary

MIBs in Appendix A)

1.4 System Requirements

Installation of the Wireless Access Bridge requires:

1. A Windows-based PC/AT compatible computer or Ethernet data device with an
available RJ-45 Ethernet port to run the configuration program or with TCP/IP
connection to the Ethernet network.

2. A 10/100Base-T Ethernet RJ-45 Ethernet cable is connected to Ethernet network.

3. A RS-232 Consol Port cable is connected to PC/AT compatible computer.

4. An AC power outlet (100~240V, 50~60Hz) supplies the power.

1.6 Applications

The SF-300 Wireless Access Bridge is easy to install and highly efficient. The following
list describes some of the many applications made possible through the power and
flexibility of wireless LANs:

1. Difficult-to-wire environments

There are many situations where wires can not or not easily be laid. Historic
buildings, older buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the installation
of LANs either impossible or very expensive.

2. Temporary workgroups

Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibitions, disaster-recovery,
temporary office and construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN
established and removed.

3. The ability to access real-time information

Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can access real­time information while dealing with patients, serving customers and processing
information.

4. Frequently changed environments

Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where frequently
rearrange the workplace.

5. Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) networks

SOHO users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small network.

6. Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks

Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead caused by
moves, extensions to networks, and other changes with wireless LANs.

7. Wired LAN backup

Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for mission-critical
applications running on wired networks.

8. Training/Educational Facilities

Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless connectivity
to ease access to information, information exchanges, and learning.

1.7 Infrastructure Modes

Infrastructure mode connects the Wireless Access Bridge Ethernet port with PC or
data device is which has standard Ethernet capabilities, and requires the use of a
wireless Access Point. The Wireless Access Bridge associates with an Access Point
