The MP-422B is an indoor access point that
provides extended coverage for 802.11a/b/g
wireless LANs. It has dual radios (802.11a and
802.11b/g) featuring dual diversity antennas on
both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The MP features
two 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports for redundant
connectivity and 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet
(PoE). Its enclosure intentionally resembles a
smoke detector to minimize visibility. With
no obvious hallmarks of an access point, the
MP-422B is less likely to be tampered with, but
also features a built-in Kensington lock system
for added physical security.

The MP-422B is simple to deploy, easy to man-
age, and supports any kind of service—data,
voice, video and location—over Wi-Fi, automati-
cally calculating the data integrity and RF signal
strength of the wireless channel and continually
tuning for optimal RF channel and transmit
power, while enforcing the prioritization of
delay-sensitive voice and other critical applica-
tions. Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) or SpectraLink
Voice Priority (SVP) can be configured to ensure
optimal QoS for voice traffic. Policies allow per
user, protocol, or class-of-service (CoS) mapping.

In addition to traditional access point func-
tionality, the MP-422B can also serve as Mesh
AP, Mesh Portal, or WDS Bridge to extend the
reach of enterprise WLANs. Furthermore, the
MP-422B can support such functionality in

reach of enterprise WLANs. Furthermore, the
MP-422B can support such functionality in
either point-to-point or point-to-multipoint
topologies, allowing maximum flexibility within
a mesh or bridged environment. In mesh portal
mode, the MP-422B acts as the gateway node
to the wired network, advertises services to
mesh access point nodes, and enforces firewall,
access and QoS policy, simultaneously perform-
ing broadcast suppression—all of which serve to
optimize RF spectrum utilization in the mesh.
The MP-422B can be configured with one radio
for client services and the other for mesh ser-
vice.

The MP-422B plays a key role in rogue and
intrusion detection as well as denial-of-service
(DoS) attack detection. ActiveScan allows MPs
to fulfill a dual role. The system scans all
802.11 channels, while simultaneously provid-
ing wireless connectivity to mobile clients.
SentryScan allows MPs or individual MP radios
to act as dedicated sentries, providing nonstop
scanning.

The MP-422B also supports location-based ser-
vice applications that rely on Wi-Fi signal infor-
mation for position location. Common usages
include asset tracking or client location.
