Set (BSS) and Distributed System (DS).The maximum forwarding rate is no less
than 10Mbps.
Load balancing: Internal protocols are used to provide balance of multiple APs
at the same place.
Static MAC filtration: Provide filtration of use-specified MAC addresses. Up to
100 filtration groups can be set. Each group can have up to 64 filtration rules.
Version upgrade function: Allows the upgrade of W200A software versions;
remote load of versions on-line is supported.
Built-in SNMP Agent supporting SNMP v1/2c for realizing MIB II,
IEEE802dot11-MIB, IF-MIB, EtherLike-MIB and private MIB.
