Product Overview
1.1
Introduction
The 54Mbps wireless access point is a compact and high performance access point that
is designed with support for high security features like WPA, IEEE 802.1x
Authentication and 64-bit or 128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy. The exclusive wireless
LAN technology Wireless Pseudo VLAN further enhances security in wireless hotspot
networks in isolating different users into their own VLANs. The access point is capable
of operating in 5 different modes: Access Point Bridging, Access Point Client, Gateway,
Wireless Routing Client and Wireless Ethernet Adapter; making it suitable for all kinds
of wireless applications.

Features and Benefits
The access point has been designed for high performance and offers a rich suite of
features, with which you should acquaint yourself to be able to exploit the access point’s
full potential
Wireless Distribution System
This unique feature allows linking of several access points, virtually creating a
larger wireless network infrastructure that allows desktops or laptops that are
connected to the access point to share their network resources wirelessly.

Pseudo Virtual LAN
The unique Wireless Pseudo Virtual LAN technology is a feature that allows a
wireless client or groups of wireless client to be segmented wirelessly into its
individual workgroup or individual node thus enhancing the privacy of the wireless
clients. This is especially useful in public hotspot deployment.

Secured Wireless Authentication
The access point supports the latest wireless security standard—WPA. The wireless
users now enjoy the freedom of wireless roaming without worrying important data
being exposed to outsiders. WPA has two different modes: WPA-PSK for SOHO
users and WPA-EAP for Enterprise users. The access point supports WPA-EAP
using IEEE 802.1x-based Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) for secure and
centralized user-based authentication. The wireless clients are now able to
authentication through a RADIUS server to the authorized network through highly
secured authentication methods like EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and EAP-PEAP.
