1. About this Guide
Thank you for choosing the Wireless Access Point 54MB Single Port.
This AP provides connectivity between Ethernet wired networks and
radio-equipped wireless devices. It adopts 2x to 3x Extended Range TM
WLAN transmission technology so that transmission distance is 2-3
times of traditional IEEE 802.11g/b solutions, up to 855.36m tested in
China. Transmission range is extended to 4-9 times.
It is an easy, Web-based setup for installation and management. Even
though you may not be familiar with the AP, this guide will make con-
figuring the AP easy. Before installing the AP, please look through this
guide to get to know all the functions.

2. Introduction
2.1 Overview of the AP
The Wireless Access Point 54MB Single Port is the basic building block of
a wireless LAN infrastructure. It provides connectivity between Ethernet
wired networks and radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desk-
top systems, print servers, and other devices.
The Wireless Access Point 54MB Single Port acts as a bridge between
the wired LAN and wireless clients. Connecting multiple Access Point
Access Points via a wired Ethernet backbone can further lengthen the
wireless network coverage. As a mobile computing device moves out of
the range of one access point, it moves into the range of another. As a
result, wireless clients can roam freely from one Access Point to another
and still maintain seamless connection to the network.
In the most attentive wireless security, the Wireless Access Point 54MB
Single Port provides multiple protection methods. It can be set to turn off
wireless network name (SSID) broadcast so that only stations that have
the SSID can be connected. The AP provides wireless LAN 64/128/152-
bit WEP encryption security, and WPA/WPA2 and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
authentication, as well as TKIP/AES encryption security. It also supports
VPN pass-through for sensitive data secure transmission.
The Wireless Access Point 54MB Single Port complies with the IEEE
802.11g/b standards so that the data transmission rate is up to 54Mbps.
It adopts 2x to 3x Extended Range TM WLAN transmission technology so
that transmission distance is 2-3 times of traditional IEEE 802.11g/b so-
lutions, up to a distance of 855.36m tested in China. Transmission range
is extended to 4-9 times. It is compatible with all IEEE 802.11g and IEEE
802.11b products.
