CHAPTER 1:
OVERVIEW
1.1 Introduction
The AresGate 2500 Series (AG2560/AG2561) Wireless ADSL Router is the perfect
networking solution to address the specific needs of enterprise wireless application
environments, such as airports, hotels, libraries, class rooms, cafés and other semi-
public areas. With the built-in ADSL WAN interface, AresGate offers shared high-
speed Internet connection rates of up to 8Mbps downstream and up to 800Kbps
upstream to your entire LAN network. Through an IEEE 802.11b wireless module,
AresGate delivers robust enterprise-level, secure wireless network access, which uti-
lizes IEEE 802.1x protocol to perform user-based access control. Furthermore, to
simplify installation and reduce the total cost of ownership, AresGate 2500 Series
support inline power over Ethernet, thus eliminating the need for all power supply
cabling once and for all.
