2. Functions and Wireless Link Mode

FX-DS540-APDL-U

MAC address filtering

This function enables connection of only the terminals whose MAC address has been registered.

Bridge Packet Control

This function allows the AP to pass only that data to terminals which comes from network devices

having a registered MAC address. Communication between wireless terminals can be rejected when

their MAC addresses are unregistered.

Data encryption

This function encrypts wireless data. For encryption, three security protocols are available: WSL

(Wireless Security Link: proprietary cryptography), WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and AES. WSL

and WEP or WSL and AES can be used at the same time. Note, however, that devices using WSL and

those not using it cannot communication with each other.

IEEE802.1X(EAP-TLS)

This function performs authentication using digital certificates. After authentication, the AP

dynamically broadcasts the WEP key.

The function of IEEE802.1X cannot be used when the unit type of the AP is “station”.
