User’s Guide for the WG602 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point
2-2 Introduction
Key Features
The WG602 v3 Access Point is easy-to-use and provides solid wireless and networking support.
Support
The following standards and conventions are supported:
• Standards Compliant. The WG602 v3 Access Point complies with the IEEE 802.11g
(DSSS).
• Radius Client Support. The WG602 v3 Access Point can log in to your existing Radius
server (as a Radius client).
• WEP support. Support for WEP is included. Both 64-bit and 128-bit keys are supported.
• Dynamic WEP key Support. Fixed or Dynamic WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) keys can
be used.
• DHCP Client Support. DHCP provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon
request. The WG602 v3 can act as a client and obtain information from your DHPC server.
• NetBIOS & WINS Support. Support for both NetBIOS broadcast and WINS (Windows
Internet Naming Service) allows the WG602 v3 to easily fit into your existing Windows
network.
• SNMP Support. Support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management
Information Base (MIB) management.
Features
The WG602 v3 provides solid functionality, including these features:
• Multiple Operating Modes
– Wireless Access Point. Operates as a standard 802.11g or 802.11x access point.
– Point-to-Point Bridge. In this mode, the ME103 only communicates with another
bridge-mode wireless station. You must enter the MAC address (physical address) of the
other bridge-mode wireless station in the field provided. WEP should be used to protect
this communication.
– Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge. Select this only if this ME103 is the “Master” for a group
of bridge-mode wireless stations. The other bridge-mode wireless stations must be set to
Point-to-Point Bridge mode, using this ME103's MAC address. They then send all traffic
to this “Master”, rather than communicate directly with each other. WEP should be used to
protect this traffic.
