Network Access Controller
Introduction
AC-M3000/M1000 is a Network Access Controller specially
designed for wired and wireless data network environments in
small to medium size businesses. It integrates network
management and secures data transmission to ensure a mobile
and efficient working environment.
System administrators can effectively monitor wired or wireless
users, either employees or guests via AC-M3000/M1000’s user
management interface. Moreover, administrators can discover,
configure, monitor, and upgrade all manageable access points
(EW-7206APg) from a single, centralized AP management
interface. AC-M3000/M1000 allows administrators to regulate
wired and wireless network systems efficiently and protect the
network.
