Preface
The W1002 and W2002 access points are manufactured environ-
ment friendly and are compliant to the RoHS directive. They sup-
port the latest WLAN technology and have been designed for use
in professional environments in particular.
Depending on the model, the access points are equipped with one
or two radio modules and two or four antennas for antenna diver-
sity for optimized coverage under heavy conditions, thus allowing
them to meet a wide variety of requirements.
When using data of different applications it´s important to prio-
rize some of them. The Wx002 series supports WMM (Wireless
Multimedia), a technique to priorize certain data of applications
like video or voice in order to provide maximum of transmission
quality for time critical applications.
In addition to the WLAN standards 802.11b and 802.11g, these
devices also support 802.11a as well as its European counterpart,
the 802.11h, to enable a data throughput rate of up to 54 Mbps in
the 5 GHz frequency range as well. This is particularly advisable
for building bridge solutions in outdoor areas.
Furthermore, these products also support such modem processes
as Multi SSID and VLAN, with which up to 16 virtual access
points can be mapped per radio module. These access points can
be secured one against the other, thus allowing guest access for
customers, for example. Different security levels and encryption
processes can be assigned to each SSID.
To ensure highest security, the devices support the 802.1x and
802.11i (WPA, WPA2) security standards. The systems can be reli-
ably configured using SSH, SSL or alternatively via https (in pre-
paration) as well. When used as bridges, the devices support the
automatic bridge mode and are able to secure bridge connections
with the help of TKIP and AES encryption.
