Lancom Systems OAP-322 61552 User Manual

The dual-radio outdoor access point LANCOM OAP-322 is ideal for professional WLAN applications outdoors, for instance for the installation of hotspot scenarios. Thanks

to two WLAN radio modules based in IEEE 802.11n for parallel operation in 2.4 and 5 GHz as well as the robust IP66 protective housing for extreme environmental

conditions, versatile fields of application can be realized. Further, due to the support of Power over Ethernet based on IEEE 802.3af, the LANCOM OAP-322 can also be

operated reliably at locations without power supply.

The LANCOM OAP-322 provides versatile fields of application in the outdoors: Whether it be the comfortable installation of outdoor hotspots with the LANCOM Public

Spot Option, the professional WLAN coverage of outdoor areas, or the WLAN connectivity to the corporate network via point-to-point connections. Whatever the case,

the device can either be operated as an autonomous standalone access point or managed by a WLAN controller. There are also versatile options for choosing the power

supply: Depending on the local conditions, the LANCOM OAP-322 can either be operated via Power over Ethernet based on IEEE 802.3af even at locations without power

supply or, alternatively, via an external power supply for 10 – 28 V. Due to the robust IP66 protective housing, the device is also fit for operation in extreme environments

at temperatures between -30 and +70°C.

LANCOM ensures the highest security standards as it supports a comprehensive range of encryption and authentication mechanisms, including 802.11i, 802.1X, and

WPA2. With the aid of Multi-SSID and protocol filters, up to 16 different user groups can each be assigned with different levels of security. Even outdoor hotspots can be

securely realized with the LANCOM OAP-322 in combination with the LANCOM Public Spot Option: A flexibly configurable user authentication ensures that only authorized

guests are able to login to the hotspot. Matured quality-of-service functionalities as well as bandwidth limitation cater for a prioritization of business-critical applications

and thus contribute to failure safety.

Especially outdoors where conditions are difficult, for example when it is difficult to see the LEDs on an access point mounted on a high mast, a management system is

of high importance. With the free-of-charge LANconfig all device functions can be centrally managed. Further, and especially for hotspot scenarios with multiple clients,

an optimization of the radio field and the network load is vital. With Band Steering dual-band clients can be steered automatically to the more powerful 5 GHz frequency

band. And with Spectral Scan you have a useful, free-of-charge tool for the identification of WLAN sources of interference and an efficient network troubleshooting.

LANCOM products are fundamentally designed for a product life spanning several years. They are equipped with hardware dimensioned for the future. Even reaching back

to older product generations, updates to the LANCOM Operating System – LCOS – are available several times a year, free of charge and offering major features.
