Two-RF-Interfaces-In-One-Box Solution
The AE3000-T is an IEEE802.11b-based multifunction device that has two independently
configurable RF interfaces. Each RF interface can be configured either as
an AP (Access Point) interface, a static bridge interface or a dynamic bridge
interface. An AP interface enables easy wireless access for mobile users
in public areas. A static bridge interface establishes a point-to-point
wireless connection with another bridge through the Wireless Distribution
System (WDS) technology. A dynamic bridge interface automatically establishes
a point-to-point wireless connection with APs from any vendors through the
AP Client technology.
Flexibility With 4 Operational Modes
Bridge Repeater. In this mode, both interfaces
are configured as static bridge interfaces. Packets are stored and forwarded
between the two RF interfaces with full bandwidth 11Mbps. It's possible
to use several AE3000-Ts if the distance between two locations is long
beyond two units' transmission range.
Static AP Repeater. In this mode, one WLAN interface
is configured as an AP interface, and the other is configured as a WDS-based
bridge interface. The static AP repeater is suitable for situations in
which Ethernet wiring between the AP and the network backbone is unaccessible,
or for high cost on which the topology of the wireless bridging network
is static.
Dynamic AP Repeater. In this mode, one WLAN interface
is configured as an AP interface, and the other is configured as an AP
client-based dynamic bridge interface. The dynamic AP repeater is suitable
for situations in which Ethernet wiring between the AP and the network
backbone is unaccessible, or for high cost on which the network topology
is stellar (point-to-multipoint).
Dual AP. In this mode, both WLAN interfaces are configured as
AP interfaces. The dual AP can handle twice the number of wireless clients
than a normal AP. It can be treated as "two APs in a box."
Ease of Installation and Management
Through the neat Web-based user interface of the AE3000-T, the
step-by-step installation instructions are easy to follow. And, the network
administrator can centrally manage the AE3000-T via a Web browser or an
SNMP MIB browser. The Windows-based Wireless Network Manager (WNM) utility
enables you to view all AE3000-Ts within LAN via Auto Discovery regardless
of IP address settings. The WDS link quality indicator and WDS link health
monitoring features check signal quality based on a remote point-to-point
testing mechanism for easy diagnostics. WNM provides versatile and cost-effective
WLAN management functionality, including the ability to configure, control,
monitor, update, report, diagnose and troubleshoot the WLAN via a single
Window GUI.
Suitable for Public Wireless Access
The AP interface of AE3000-T contains features that are especially
useful in public areas such as hotspots and enterprises. The wireless
client isolation feature prevents wireless hackers from attacking other
wireless subscribers computers. The AP load balancing feature enables
wireless client associations and traffic load to be shared among all the
APs within a group.
Ensure Great Security
The AP interface of AE3000-T can authenticate and authorize wireless
users in organizations, enterprises, or public areas by the IEEE 802.1x
standard. It communicates with a back-end RADIUS (Remote Authentication
User Dial-In Service) server to see if a wireless user is allowed to access
the wireless network. Windows XP has built-in support for IEEE802.1x.
WEP and WPA are also supported for better wireless security.
