WLAN
Maximum transmit and receive rates and an individual VLAN ID can be assigned to each WLAN client (MAC address)Bandwidth limitation
If the link of a chosen LAN interface breaks down, a WLAN module can be deactivated to let the associated clients search for a new base stationBroken link detection
Detection of rogue AP's and the channel information for all WLAN channels during normal AP operation. The Background Scan Time Interval defines
the time slots in which an AP or Router searches for a foreign WLAN network in its vicinity. The time interval can be specified in either milliseconds,
seconds, minutes, hours or days

Layer-3 Tunneling in conformity with the CAPWAP standard allows the bridging of WLANs per SSID to a separate IP subnet. Layer-2 packets are
encapsulated in Layer-3 tunnels and transported to a LANCOM WLAN controller. By doing this the access point is independent of the present
infrastructure of the network. Possible applications are roaming without changing the IP address and compounding SSIDs without using VLANs.
Layer-3 Tunneling
The WLAN standard IEEE 802.11u (Hotspot 2.0) allows for a seamless transition from the cellular network into WLAN hotspots. Authentication
methods using SIM card information, certificates or username and password, enable an automatic, encrypted login to WLAN hotspots - without
the need to manually enter login credentials.

LANCOM Active Radio Control
Automatic selection of optimal WLAN channels. Due to reduced channel overlaps, WLAN clients benefit from an improved data throughput. In
controller-based installations, an automatic selection of optimal channels is conducted for all managed access points.
RF Optimization *
By using adaptive noise immunity an access point can cut out sources of interferences in the radio field and focusses on clients with a sufficent
signal strength. Therefore, WLAN clients profit by having a higher data throughput available due to less interferences
Adaptive Noise Immunity
By scanning the entire RF spectrum, interferences in the WLAN can be identified and graphically illustrated. Up to 13 channels (2.4 GHz) or up to
26 channels (5 GHz) (depending on national regulations and manual configuration). Illustration of signal strength on individual WLAN channels

IEEE 802.11n Features
MIMO technology is a technique which uses multiple transmitters to deliver multiple data streams via different spatial channels. Depending on the
existing RF conditions the throughput is multiplied with MIMO technology.
MIMO
Two adjacent 20 MHz channels are combined to create a single 40 MHz channel. Depending on the existing RF Conditions channel bonding doubles
the throughput.
40 MHz Channels
Support of coexisting accesspoints with 20 and 40MHz channels in 2.4GHz band.20/40MHz Coexistence Mechanisms in the
2.4GHz Band
MAC Aggregation increase the 802.11 MAC efficiency by combining MAC data frames and sending it out with a single header. The receiver
acknowledges the combined MAC frame with a Block Acknowledgement. Depending on existing RF conditions, this technique improves throughput
by up to 20%.
MAC Aggregation and Block
Acknowledgement
The guard interval is the time between OFDM symbols in the air. 802.11n gives the option for a shorter 400 nsec guard interval compared to the
legacy 800 nsec guard interval. Under ideal RF conditions this increases the throughput by upto 10%
Short Guard Interval
Support for Broadband Fixed Wireless Access in 5.8 GHz band with up to 4 Watts EIRP for WLAN point-to-point links according to the national
regulations of your country, special antennas required

WLAN operating modes
Infrastructure mode (autonomous operation or managed by LANCOM WLAN Controller)WLAN access point
Point-to-multipoint connection of up to 16 Ethernet LANs (mixed operation optional), broken link detection, blind mode, supports VLAN When
configuring Pt-to-Pt links, pre-configured names can be used as an alternative to MAC Adresses for creating a link. Rapid spanning-tree protocol
to support redundant routes in Ethernet networks
WLAN bridge
Transparent WLAN client mode for wireless Ethernet extensions, e.g. connecting PCs or printers by Ethernet; up to 64 MAC addresses. Automatic
selection of a WLAN profile (max. 8) with individual access parameters depending on signal strength or priority

Firewall
Incoming/Outgoing Traffic inspection based on connection information. Trigger for firewall rules depending on backup status, e.g. simplified rule
sets for low-bandwidth backup lines. Limitation of the number of sessions per remote site (ID)
