• Overview the Product
  • Introduction
  • Features and Benefits
•  Point-to-Point & Point-to-MultiPoint Support
•  Virtual AP (Multiple SSID)
• Virtual AP implements mSSID (Multi-SSID)
•  Highly Secured Wireless Network
• The access point supports the highest available wireless security standard: WPA2. WPA2 has two different modes: WPA2-Personal for SOHO users and WPA2-Enterprise for Enterprise users. The access point also supports IEEE 802.1x for secure and centralized user-based authentication. Wireless clients are thus required to authenticate through highly secure methods like EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and EAP-PEAP, in order to obtain access to the network.
•  Smart Select
• This feature will automatically scan and recommend the best channel that the access point can utilize.
•  uConfig Utility
• The exclusive uConfig utility allows users to access the user-friendly Web configuration interface of the access point without having to change the TCP/IP setup of the workstation.
•  STP
• Spanning-Tree Protocol provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. It forces certain redundant data paths into a standby (blocked) state. If one network segment in the Spanning-Tree Protocol becomes unreachable, or if Spanning-Tree Protocol costs change, the spanning-tree algorithm reconfigures the spanning-tree topology and re-establishes the link by activating the standby path.
•  HTTPS
•  Telnet
•  SSH
•  WDS2

    • Access the TELNET Command Line Interface
• You may connect to the CLI (Command Line Interface) via a TELNET session to the default IP 192.168.168.1 Microsoft TELNET command is shown here but any TELNET client can be used.
• 1. Enter C:\WINDOWS\TELNET 192.168.168.1 at DOS prompt and the TELNET application will launch and connect.
• 2. At the login prompt, type in the default password “password” and press enter. You will then login to the CLI.
  • Access the Secure Shell Host Command Line Interface
  • Set the WEB Mode
  • Setup SNMP
• The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a set of communication protocols that separates the management software architecture from the hardware device architecture.
  • Setup SNMP Trap
• The SNMP Trap saves network resources through eliminating the need for unnecessary SNMP requests by providing notification of significant network events with unsolicited SNMP messages.
  • Setup STP

  • Setup WDS2
• WDS2 (Wireless Distributed System 2) links up access points to create a wider network in which mobile users can roam while still staying connected to available network resources. The wireless client and root access point has to be set up with the same channel frequency. This allows them to connect even when the link is lost, as the channel frequency setting is preserved.

    • Get Long Distance Parameters
  • Set Wireless Multimedia
• Wireless Multimedia (WMM) is a QoS (Quality of Service) standard in IEEE802.11E that we have adopted to improve and support the user experience for multimedia, video, and voice applications by prioritizing data traffic. QoS can be realized through 4 different Access Categories (AC). Each AC type consists of an independent transmit queue, and a channel access function with its own parameters.
