4ipnet EAP100 User’s Manual
1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
This manual is intended for system integrators, field engineers and network administrators to set up 4ipnet EAP100
Enterprise Access Points in their network environments. It contains s tep-by-step procedures and graphic examples
to guide MIS staf f or individuals with bas ic network system knowledge to co mplete the installation.
EAP100 is a high-end Access Point (AP) with the best price/ per formance for business and industrial applications
and is compliant w ith the latest industrial wireless security st andards that are required in the tightly s ecured
enterprise network environ ments. Its Wireless Distribution System ( WDS) feature allows for flexible extension of
wireless coverage. The dual-PoE LAN ports, LAN1 and LAN2, can receive Power over Ethernet (PoE) and is
capable of providing backups between each other with its fa ilover func tion. This pro vides EAP100 with reliable
connectivity. Its meta l case is IP50 anti-dust compliant, w hich means that EAP100 is well suited to WLAN
deployment in industrial en vironments.
EAP100 can function in two modes: Access Point (AP) mode and Wireless Distribution System ( WDS) mode. In the
AP mode, EAP100 supports up to eight Virtual Access Points (VAPs) and each VAP can define its own rule settings,
which makes flexible security policy possible by taking ad vantage of such VAP capability and simultaneously
enables different levels of ser vice to meet actual requirements. In the WDS mode, EAP100 supports point-to-point
or point-to-multipoint topology to widely extend its wireless coverage.
