• Security Profiles. For maximum flexibility, wireless security settings are stored in Security Profiles. Up to 8
Security profiles can be defined, and up to 4 used as any time.
• Multiple SSIDs. Because each Security Profile has it own SSID, and up to 4 Security Profiles can be active
simultaneously, multiple SSIDs are supported. Different clients can connect to the Wireless Access Point
using different SSIDs, with different security settings.
• Multiple SSID Isolation. If desired, PCs and devices connecting using different SSIDs can be isolated from
each other.
• VLAN Support. The 802.1Q VLAN standard is supported, allowing traffic from different sources to be
segmented. Combined with the multiple SSID feature, this provides a powerful tool to control access to your
LAN.
• WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Both 64 Bit and 128 Bit keys are
supported.
• WPA support. Support for WPA is included. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should be used if possible.
Both TKIP and AES encryption methods are supported.
• 802.1x Support. Support for 802.1x mode is included, providing for the industrial-strength wireless security of
802.1x authentication and authorization.
• Radius Client Support. The Wireless Access Point can login to your existing Radius Server (as a Radius client).
• Radius MAC Authentication. You can centralize the checking of Wireless Station MAC addresses by using a
Radius Server.
• Rogue AP Detection. The Wireless Access Point can detect unauthorized (Rouge) Access Points on your LAN.
• Access Control. The Access Control feature can check the MAC address of Wireless clients to ensure that only
trusted Wireless Stations can use the Wireless Access Point to gain access to your LAN.
• Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection is provided to prevent unauthorized users
from modifying the configuration data and settings.

• Auto Configuration. The Wireless Access Point can perform self-configuration by copying the configuration data
from another Access Point. This feature is enabled by default.
• Auto Update. The Wireless Access Point can automatically update its firmware, by downloading and installing
new firmware from your FTP server.
• Command Line Interface. If desired, the command line interface (CLI) can be used for configuration. This
provides the possibility of creating scripts to perform common confi g uration changes.
• NetBIOS & WINS Support. Support for both NetBIOS broadcast and WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service)
allows the Wireless Access Point to easily fit into your existing Windows network.
• Radius Accounting Support. If you have a Radius Server, you can use it to provide accounting data on Wireless
clients.
• Syslog Support. If you have a Syslog Server, the Wireless Access Point can send its log data to your Syslog
Server.
• SNMP Support. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is supported, allowing you to use a SNMP
program to manage the Wireless Access Point.
• UAM Support. The Wireless Access Point supports UAM (Universal Access Method), making it suitable for use
in Internet cafes and other sites where user access time must be accounted for.
• WDS Support. Support for WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows the Wireless Access Point to act as a
Wireless Bridge. Both Point-to-Point and Multi-Point Bridge modes are supported.
