INTRODUCTION
The COM-817 54Mbps WirelessAccess Point is the basic building block of a wireless LAN infrastructure. It provides connectivity between E thernet wired networks and radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other devices. The COM-817 54Mbps Wireless Access Point acts as a bridge between the wired LAN and wireless clients. Connecting multiple COM-817 Access Points via a wired Ethernet backbonecan further lengthen the wireless network coverage. In the most attentive wireless security, the COM-817 54Mbps Wireless Access Point provides multiple protection methods. It can be set to turn off wireless network name (SSID) broadcast so that only stations that have the SSID can be connected. The AP provides wireless LAN 64/128/152-bit WEP encryption security, and WPA/WPA2 and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSKauthentication, as well as TKIP/AES encryption security. It also supports VPN pass-through for sensitive data secure transmission. The COM-817 54Mbps Wireless Access Point complies with the IEEE 802.11g/b standards so that the data transmission rate is up to 54Mbps. It adopts 2x to 3x eXtended RangeTM WLAN transmission technology so that transmission distance is 2-3 times of traditional IEEE802.11g/b solutions. Transmission range is extended to 4-9 times. It is compatible with all IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b products.
