1 INTRODUCTION

The EliteConnectTM SMCE21011 is an IEEE 802.11n access point (AP) that meets draft 2.0 standards. It is fully interoperable with older 802.11a/b/g standards, providing a transparent, wireless high speed data communication between the wired LAN and fixed or mobile devices. The unit includes three detachable dual-band 2.4/5 GHz antennas with the option to attach higher specification external antennas that boost network coverage.

KEY HARDWARE FEATURES

The following table describes the main hardware features of the AP.

Table 1: Key Hardware Features

Feature	Description
Antennas	Three detachable dual-band 2.4/5 GHz MIMO antennas.
LAN Port	One 1000BASE-T RJ-45 port that supports a Power over Ethernet
	(PoE) connection to power the device.
Console Port	Console connection through an RJ-45 port with included RS-232
	serial cable.
Reset Button	For resetting the unit and restoring factory defaults.
LEDs	Provides LED indicators for system status, wireless radio status,
	and LAN port status.
Power	Power over Ethernet (PoE) support through the RJ-45 Ethernet
	port, or from an external AC power adapter.
Mounting Options	Can be mounted on a wall, or on any horizontal surface such as a
	desktop or shelf.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPABILITIES

The SMC21011 supports up to eight Virtual Access Point (VAP) interfaces, which allow traffic to be separated for different user groups within the same AP service area. Each VAP can support up to 64 wireless clients, whereby the clients associate with each VAP in the same way as they would with physically separate access points. This means that each VAP can be configured with its own Service Set Identification (SSID), security settings, VLAN assignments, and other parameters, allowing the AP to serve a diverse range of client needs in an area from a single unit.

EXTERNAL ANTENNA

CONNECTOR

The access point includes three integrated external MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output) antennas. MIMO uses multiple antennas for transmitting and receiving radio signals to improve data throughput and link range.

Each antenna transmits the outgoing signal as a toroidal sphere (doughnut shaped), with the coverage extending most in a direction perpendicular to the antenna. Therefore, the antennas should be adjusted to an angle that provides the appropriate coverage for the service area.

The access point supports external antennas for improving the coverage of the 802.11n signal. The antennas supplied with the unit screw off in a clockwise manner and can be replaced with with alternative antennas that extend or shape the coverage area.
