INTRODUCTION
The Wireless Mllllrrg Access Point (AP) is an 1512580241; compliant access point.
It not only provides a high transfer rate up to 54M17ps, which is almost five times faster
than the already existing lleps 302.11b products, but is also backward compatible with
the Wireless b equipments
The AP provides 40/l28/256 bit WEP encryption, WPA and EEEBOLIX, which ensures
a high level of security to protects users’ data and privacy. The MAC Address control
prevents the banned or unauthorized MAC Address from accessing your Wireless LAN.
Your network security is therefore double assured.
Plawd anywhere along with an Ethernet LAN, the AP allows up to 64 wireless stations
within its area of coverage to access transparently to the corporate network.
The web'based configuration utility allows users to configure via web browser. Advanced
setup and firmware upgrade can be done easily
