Wireless 802.11 a/b/g Outdoor AP M5000
2.4GHz / 5GHz 54Mbps 802.11 a/b/g MESH Function
M5000 is a long range outdoor wireless Access Point / Client Bridge that
operates in both 5GHz and 2.4GHz frequency. It provides high bandwidth
up to 54Mbps and features high transmitted output power as well as
superior sensitivity. M5000 extends radio coverage, avoids unnecessary
roaming between Access Points and ensures a stable wireless connection
while reduces the number of required equipments. With mesh function
implemented, it can be used to establish mesh network, reduces the
expense of equipment and risk of disconnection.
M5000 provides user friendly interface including user friendly distance
control ranges from 1KM up to 30KM and RSSI LED indicator offering real
time signal status. It comes with PoE injector for convenient outdoor
installation.
M5000 enforces transmission security with full support of latest encryption
mechanism including 64/128-bit WEP, WPA and WPA2. With 14dBi internal
antenna and superior performance, M5000 makes an optimal
wireless
solution for both small and large scale projects.

Features
Wireless
:: 2.4GHz/5GHz It works in 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequency spectrum.
:: MESH It is designed to establish a network with best link reliability under harsh outdoor environment.
There is not any limitation on transmission and network communication. In this mode for better
performance, recommended 1 Gateway with 4 Relay in linear and radiative deployment scenario.
:: High output power Transmit high output power programmable for different country selections.
:: High Data Rate High speed transmitting rate up to 54Mbps, support large payload such as MPEG video
streaming.
:: Multifunction application Access Point/Client Bridge/Client Router/WDS Function/MESH.
:: Long range transmitting Transmit power control and distance control (ACK timeout).
:: Narrow Bandwidth Provide 5MHz/10MHz/20MHz bandwidth selection.
:: Signal Strength Display RF signal strength status shown LEDs of 3 colors, making network build-up easier.
LED indicators have the best transmit and receive signal for traffic communication.
:: Multiple SSID 4 SSID supported. Each SSID can set itself wireless or WAN access setting.
:: QoS(WMM) Enhance performance and density.
Networking
:: PPPoE & PPTP Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet at Client Router mode. This function will keep trying
when failed or disconnected. Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a method for implementing virtual
private networks.
:: Traffic Shaping Traffic shaping is the control of network traffic in order to optimize or guarantee
performance.
:: VPN Pass Through
Security
:: 802.11i WEP, WPA, WPA2 (Encryption support TKIP/AES)
:: MAC address functions MAC address filter (AP mode)
:: 802.1x IEEE802.1x Authenticator
:: Station isolation L2 isolation
Management
:: 802.11i & 802.1x WEP, WPA, WPA2 (Encryption support TKIP/AES), IEEE802.1x Authenticator
:: MAC address functions MAC address filter (AP mode) up to 50
:: AP Detection Scan all neighboring APs with their channels and signal strengths automatically for best
operated channel selection on installing
:: Firmware Upgrade Upgrading firmware via web browser, setting are reserved after upgrade
:: Reset & Backup Reset to factory default. User can export all setting into a file via WEB
:: Ping & Trace Route Built-in PING function & Trace Route function in Web GUI
:: MIB MIB I, MIB II(RFC1213) and Private MIB
:: SNMP V1, V2c
