1 Introdu tion and S ope
Our AP eries of enterprise-grade 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi access points is engineered to
provide fast, dependable, and flexible operation in a variety of environments, all
controlled by an easy-to-use centralized management system. From the small but
powerful AP One AC mini to the top-of-the-line AP One 300M our AP eries offers
wireless networking solutions to suit any business need, and every access point is
loaded with essential features such as multiple IDs, VLAN, WD , and Guest Protect.
A single access point provides as many as 32 virtual access points (16 on single-radio
models), each with its own security policy (WPA, WPA2, etc.) and authentication
mechanism (802.1x, open, captive portal, etc.), allowing faster, easier, and more cost-
effective network builds. Each member of the AP eries family also features a high-
powered Wi-Fi transmitter that greatly enhances coverage and performance while
reducing equipment costs and maintenance.
