WAP Mini-Physical Interface Module
TheWirelessAccess Point (WAP) mini-PIM for SRX devicesprovides a singleboxwireless
access point solution for retail and small office deployments. The mini-PIM has an
embedded Enterprise class wireless system-on-chip (SOC) and supports the 802.11 a,
g, ac, and Wave 2 wireless standards.
Key features include:
2x2 multiuser—multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO), which enables transmission
of data to multiple clients simultaneously.
Dual radios providing concurrent dual bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz—The radios operate
in any one of the radio modes, such as 802.11a or 802.11g, specified by the IEEE wireless
networking standards. Each radio can be configured independently. The radio mode
determines what type of wireless clients can connect to the access point. The radio
on the access point can be configured to support just one type of client or a mixed
mode, where different types of clients can connect to the radio.
Up to eight Virtual Access Points (VAPs) per radio—A VAP simulates a physical access
point. VAPs allow the wireless LAN to be segmented into multiple broadcast domains
that are the wireless equivalent of Ethernet VLANs. A single AP is segregated into
multiple individual VAPs simulating multiple APs in a single system.
You can configure up to 8 VAPs on each radio.
Software configurable transmit powerThe access point allows for configuration of
transmit power for each radio. Transmit power assignment is done on a percentage
basis. By default, the access point assigns 100 percent power to each radio at startup
togive maximum coverage and potentiallyreduce the number of access points required.
Wireless security for client authentication—The access point supports the following
authentication methods:
