Overview the Product

Introduction

The EZStation5 Outdoor Access Point is a high-performance AP
designed for enterprise and outdoor users. The access point is
compatible with IEEE 802.11a and supports high-speed data transmission
of up to 54Mbps. This equips the access point with network robustness,
stability and wider network coverage. Housed in a weatherproof
casing, the access point is designed to withstand any outdoor climatic
conditions, making it the ideal solution for outdoor applications.

The access point is capable of operating in 7 modes: Access Point

Mode, Client Mode, Wireless Routing Client, Gateway Mode, Wireless
Adapter Mode, and Transparent Client Mode which is specifically

developed to be paired with root access point for Point-to-Point and
Point-to-MultiPoint connection.

Moreover, its integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows the access
point to be used in areas where power outlets are not readily
available.

Features and Benefits

••

PPooiinntt--ttoo--PPooiinntt && PPooiinntt--ttoo--MMuullttiiPPooiinntt SSuuppppoorrtt

Point-to-Point a
between different buildings enables you to bridge wireless
clients that are kilometres apart while unifying the
networks.

••

VViirrttuuaall AAPP ((MMuullttiippllee SSSSIIDD))

Virtual AP implements mSSID (Multi-SSID)
This allows a single wireless card to be set up wit
virtual AP connections with different SSIDs or BSSID (Basic
Service Set Identifier) and security modes.

••

HHiigghhllyy SSeeccuurreedd WWiirreelleessss NNeettwwoorrkk

The access point supports the highest available wireless
securi
WPA2-Personal for SOHO users and WPA2-Enterprise for
Enterprise users. The access point also supports IEEE 802.1x

ty standard: WPA2. WPA2 has two different modes:

nd Point-to-MultiPoint communication

h multiple

for secure and centralized user-based authentication.
Wireless clients are thus required to authenticate through
highly secure methods like EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and EAP­PEAP, in order to obtain access to the network.

••

SSmmaarrtt SSeelleecctt

This feature will automatically scan and recommend th
best channel that the access point can utilize.

••

uuCCoonnffiigg UUttiilliittyy

The exclusive uConfig utility allows users to access the user­fri

endly Web configuration interface of the access point
without having to change the TCP/IP setup of the
workstation.

SSTTPP

••

Spanning-Tree Protocol provides path redundancy while
prev

enting undesirable loops in the network. It forces
certain redundant data paths into a standby (blocked)
state. If one network segment in the Spanning-Tree
Protocol becomes unreachable, or if Spanning-Tree
Protocol costs change, the spanning-tree algorithm
reconfigures the spanning-tree topology and re-establishes
the link by activating the standby path.

••

HHTTTTPPSS

The acc

ess point supports HTTPS (SSL) in addition to the
standard HTTP.
HTTPS (SSL) features additional authentication and
encryption for secure communication.

••

TTeellnneett

Telnet allows a computer to remotely connect to the
access point CLI (Command Line Interface)

for control

and monitoring.

••

SSSSHH

SSH (

Secure Shell Host) establishes a secure host
connection to the access point CLI for control and
monitoring.

DS2 (Wireless Distributed System 2) links up access point s
to create a wider network in which mobile users can roam
while still staying connected to available network
resources.

When to Use Which Mode

Access Point Mode

The Access Point Mode is the default mode of the access point and
enables the bridging of wireless clients to access the wired network
infrastructure and also enables their communication with each other.
In this example the wireless users are able to access the file server
connected to the switch, through the access point in Access Point
Mode.

Page 9

Access Point Client Mode

In Access Point Client Mode the device acts as a wireless client.
When connected to an access point, it creates a network link between
the Ethernet network connected at this client device, and the wireless
Ethernet network connected at the access point.

In this mode it can only connect with another access point. Other
wireless clients cannot connect to it directly unless they are also
connected to the same access point – allowing them to communicate
with all devices connected to the Ethernet port of the access point.

In this example the workgroup PCs can access the printer connected
to the access point in Access Point Client Mode.

Optional additional feature:
Point-to-Point connection in this operation mode is also supported if
you specifically wish to connect with an access point only.
Please refer to the Point-to-Point setup section.
