Chapter 1. Introduction to Access Server
Bluegiga’s WRAP™ product family offers for device manufacturers, integrators, companies and
developers a simple and fast way to set-up wireless communication systems between standard
or proprietary devices, networks, machines and instruments.
Access Server is a cutting edge wireless Bluetooth router. It supports multiple communication
standards including Ethernet, WiFi, and GSM/GPRS enabling full media-independent TCP/IP
connectivity. Access Server is easy to deploy and manage in existing wired and wireless net-
works without compromising speed or security. For rapid deployment, Access Server config-
urations can easily be copied from one device to another by using USB memory dongles. The
device can be conveniently managed and upgraded remotely over SSH secured links. By using
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Access Servers can also be connected to the
customer’s management and monitoring systems.
