1: Introduction

Introduction for WP54G 1D 6D multi-SSID firmware version

The Wireless Access Point with PoE is a high-performance access point (AP) that

is designed for enterprise and public access applications. Embedded with the

Atheros chipset, it boasts network robustness, stability and wider network

coverage. Based on 802.11g, the access point supports high-speed data

transmission of up to 54Mbps in the 2.4GHz frequency band.

The access point is capable of operating in 7 modes: Access Point Mode, Client

Mode, Wireless Routing Client, Gateway Mode, Wireless Adapter Mode,

Transparent Client Mode, and Repeater Mode. Which makes it suitable for a

wide variety of wireless applications, including long-distance deployments.

Equipped with an SMA connector for external antenna support, the access

point provides a wider coverage for your network. Moreover, its integrated

Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows the access point to be used in areas where

power outlets are not readily available.

To protect your security and privacy, the access point is armed with many

enhanced wireless security features such as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA),

WPA2 (with Advanced Encryption Standard encryption) MAC Address Filtering,

IEEE 802.1x Authentication and 64/128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) to

ensure privacy for the heterogeneous mix of users within the same wireless

network.

The access point also incorporates a unique set of advanced features such as:

Virtual AP to deliver multiple services; Long-Range parameter fine-tuning which

provide the access point with the ability to auto-calculate parameters such as

slot time; ACK time-out and CTS time-out to achieve a longer range; Spanning

Tree Protocol (STP) which provides extra redundancy and the ability to auto-

reconfigure when there are changes in the network topology; HTTPS which

feature additional authentication and encryption; and Telnet which allows

remote connection; and SSH which provides a secure host connection.
