point can utilize. 
 
Wireless Routing Client Capability 
The Wireless Routing Client mode enables Internet Service Provider (ISP) or offices 
to send their data packet wirelessly and these network packets will be routed to a 
wired Local Area Network via the access point. 
 
Wireless Ethernet Adapter 
The Wireless Ethernet Adapter mode enables any computers with an Ethernet 
interface to be connected to the wireless LAN without the need to install any driver 
software. This is extremely useful for machines with limited driver support, e.g. 
Apple Macintosh machines and Linux machines. 
 
Parallel Broadband 
This unique feature allows bandwidth aggregation and fail-over redundancy 
capability when set to gateway mode which uses wireless distribution system to 
wirelessly link all associated access point gateway together. 
 
Universal Configuration Software 
The uConfig software allows users to get onto the web based configuration interface 
of the access point without the need to further manipulate the TCP/IP setup of the 
workstation. 
 
Web-based Management Interface 
Embedded with a HTTP server allows the configuration of the access point features 
via a user-friendly web-based management interface. In addition, firmware upgrade 
can be done through this interface as well. 
 
IEEE 802.1x Authentication and WPA 
The access point supports latest wireless security WPA using both Pre-Share Key 
and 802.1x EAP authentication. A wide range of IEEE 802.1x authentication 
methods like EAP-MD5, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and EAP-PEAP for strong mutual 
authentication and data encryption is supported. 
 
Wireless Pseudo Virtual LAN 
Allows the creation of wireless virtual nodes or workgroups for wireless clients to 
increase the privacy in a wireless LAN installation. 
 
SNMP 
For easy remote management and monitoring of the access point through standard 
SNMP software.
