Overview the Product
Introduction
The Wireless Access Point is a high-performance AP designed for
enterprise and outdoor users. The access point is compatible with IEEE
802.11n (Draft 2.0) and supports high-speed data transmission of up to
300Mbps. This equips the access point with network robustness, stability
and wider network coverage. Housed in a weatherproof casing, the
access point is designed to withstand any outdoor climatic conditions,
making it the ideal solution for outdoor applications.
The access point is capable of operating in 7 modes: Access Point
Mode, Client Mode, Wireless Routing Client, Gateway Mode, Wireless
Adapter Mode, and Transparent Client Mode which is specifically
developed to be paired with root access point for Point-to-Point and
Point-to-MultiPoint connection, and Repeater Mode, Which makes it
suitable for a wide variety of wireless applications, including long-
distance deployments.
Moreover, its integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows the access
point to be used in areas where power outlets are not readily
available.
* Depending on the model, some model will have less hardware features. All the software functions are the
same.

Features and Benefits
•
• P Po oi in nt t- -t to o- -P Po oi in nt t & & P Po oi in nt t- -t to o- -M Mu ul lt ti iP Po oi in nt t S Su up pp po or rt t
Point-to-Point and Point-to-MultiPoint communication
between different buildings enables you to bridge wireless
clients that are kilometres apart while unifying the
networks.
•
• V Vi ir rt tu ua al l A AP P ( (M Mu ul lt ti ip pl le e S SS SI ID D) )
Virtual AP implements mSSID (Multi-SSID)
This allows a single wireless card to be set up with multiple
virtual AP connections with different SSIDs or BSSID (Basic
Service Set Identifier) and security modes.
•
• H Hi ig gh hl ly y S Se ec cu ur re ed d W Wi ir re
el le es ss s N Ne et tw wo or rk k
The access point supports the highest available wireless
security standard: WPA2. WPA2 has two different modes:
WPA2-Personal for SOHO users and WPA2-Enterprise for
Enterprise users. The access point also supports IEEE 802.1x
for secure and centralized user-based authentication.
Wireless clients are thus required to authenticate through
highly secure methods like EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and EAP-
PEAP, in order to obtain access to the network.
•
• S Sm ma ar rt t S Se el le ec ct t
This feature will automatically scan and recommend the
best channel that the access point can utilize.
•
• u uC Co on nf fi ig g U Ut ti il li it
ty y
The exclusive uConfig utility allows users to access the user-
friendly Web configuration interface of the access point
without having to change the TCP/IP setup of the
workstation.

Page 9
•
• H HT TT TP PS S
The access point supports HTTPS (SSL) in addition to the
standard HTTP.
HTTPS (SSL) features additional authentication and
encryption for secure communication.
•
• T Te el ln ne et t
Telnet allows a computer to remotely connect to the
access point CLI (Command Line Interface) for control
and monitoring.
•
• S SS SH H
SSH (Secure Shell Host) establishes a secure host
connection to the access point CLI for control and
monitoring.

Page 10
When to Use Which Mode
Access Point Mode
The Access Point Mode is the default mode of the access point and
enables the bridging of wireless clients to access the wired network
infrastructure and also enables their communication with each other.
In this example the wireless users are able to access the file server
connected to the switch, through the access point in Access Point
Mode.

Page 11
Access Point Client Mode
In Access Point Client Mode the device acts as a wireless client.
When connected to an access point, it creates a network link between
the Ethernet network connected at this client device, and the wireless
Ethernet network connected at the access point.
In this mode it can only connect with another access point. Other
wireless clients cannot connect to it directly unless they are also
connected to the same access point – allowing them to communicate
with all devices connected to the Ethernet port of the access point.
In this example the workgroup PCs can access the printer connected
to the access point in Access Point Client Mode.
Optional additional feature:
Point-to-Point connection in this operation mode is also supported if
you specifically wish to connect with an access point only.
Please refer to the Point-to-Point setup section.

Page 12
Wireless Routing Client Mode
In Wireless Routing Client Mode the Ethernet port of the access point
may be used to connect with other devices on the network while
Internet access would be provided through wireless communication
with a wireless ISP.

Page 13
Gateway Mode
In Gateway Mode, the access point supports several types of
broadband connections in a wireless network after you have identified
the type of broadband Internet access you are subscribed to.

Page 14
Broadband Internet Access Type:
Static IP Address
Use Static IP Address if you have subscribed to a fixed IP address or to a
range of fixed IP addresses from your ISP.
Dynamic IP Address
With Dynamic IP Address the access point requests for, and is
automatically assigned an IP address by your ISP, for instance:
•Singapore Cable Vision
•@HOME Cable Services
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
Use PPPoE if you are using ADSL services in a country utilizing standard
PPPoE authentication, for instance:
•Germany with T-1 Connection
•Singapore with SingNet Broadband or Pacific Internet
Broadband
PPTP
Use PPTP if you are using ADSL services in a country utilizing PPTP
connection and authentication.
Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)
L2TP enables ISPs to operate Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)

Page 15
Wireless Adapter Mode
In Wireless Adapter Mode, the access point can communicate
wirelessly with another access point to perform transparent bridging
between 2 networks, like in the Access Point Client Mode. In this mode,
however, the wireless adapter connects to a single workstation only.
No client software or drivers are required to use this mode.
Optional additional feature:
Point-to-Point connection in this operation mode is also supported if
you specifically wish to connect with an access point only.
Please refer to the Point-to-Point setup section.

Page 16
Transparent Client Mode
In Transparent Client Mode, the access point provides connection with
an access point*acting as the RootAP. This operation is designed for
the implementation of Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint
connections.
Point-to-Point Point-to-MultiPoint
An access point acts as Root AP and
1 other access point acts as
Transparent Client.
An access point acts as Root AP
and several other access point
acts as Transparent Clients.
This mode is generally used for outdoor connections over long
distances, or for indoor connections between local networks.
•Current Compex model that provide RootAP support are: WP54x series; WPP54x series; WP18; and NP18A.
For newer models, please contact your Compex supplier or visit the Compex web site.

Page 17
Difference Between other client modes and Transparent Client Mode
Other client modes Transparent Client Mode
Connectivity with any standard
APs. Connectivity with RootAP-supported
APs.
All devices connected to the
Ethernet ports use a common
MAC address for communications
with the AP.
Devices connected to the Ethernet
ports flow through freely and
transparently without the MAC
address restriction.
The Transparent Client Mode is more transparent, making it more
suitable for linking 2 networks together in a point-to-point, or point-to-
multipoint network connection.

Page 18
Repeater Mode
The access point comes with a built-in Repeater Mode to extend the
range, and substantially enhance the performance of the wireless
network by allowing communications over much greater distances.
In Repeater Mode, the access point acts as a relay for network signals
on the network by regenerating the signals it receives, and
retransmitting them to extend the range of the existing network
infrastructure.
Detailed information on the Repeater Mode is available in the
Repeater Setup section.
