Feature |
 | |
|
| |
| The GW-AP11X
is an IEEE802.11b compliant wireless access point that
supports four operation modes. The access point supports
1)access point mode, 2)wireless LAN Converter mode,
3)repeater mode and 4)bridge mode (for communication
between access points) to let you create a highly
flexible wireless LAN environment.
|
| |
 |
The four operation modes
enable the creation of a highly flexible wireless LAN
|
| |
The GW-AP11X supports the following four operation
modes. Each mode may be configured via the product's
setup screen on a standard Web browser.
<Access
Point>
-Wireless LAN Access Point
Mode
The product is connected to an existing wired
(fixed line) LAN, and it serves as an ordinary access
point that communicates with wireless LAN client
devices. This mode may be used to smoothly expand an
existing wired LAN to a network that supports both wired
and wireless clients.
-Repeater Mode
This mode is used to relay signals
between wireless LAN's. Enable this mode on the GW-AP11X
to overcome degradation of wireless transmission due to
obstacles and distance between access points or wireless
LAN clients.
-Bridge Mode (Work Group Bridge)
This mode is used
to enable communication between access points. In this
mode, a wired LAN attached to a GW-AP11X may communicate
with wired LAN's attached to other units of GW-AP11X.
This mode requires a unit of GW-AP11X serving as a
"master unit" that is set to access point mode.
* Bridge Mode (inter-APs
communication) and Repeater Mode are supported only
between the GW-AP11X units.
The connection in
Repeater Mode and Bridge Mode are available with up to
two units, (the base unit included).
<Wireless LAN
Converter>
-Wireless LAN Converter Mode
In this mode, a non-PC digital device (ex. digital
AV equipment, game device, etc) may serve as a network
client as long as the device is equipped with a LAN
port. In this manner, wired LAN units may be easily
added to a wireless LAN via hardware.
* Only
Infrastructure Mode will be available if the product is
used as a wireless LAN Converter. |
|
Wi-Fi
Certified. |
| |
The product has acquired the Wi-Fi certification
that guarantees interoperatibility between wireless
devices manufacured by different vendors. |
|
Reliable security features
|
| |
The product supports 64/128bit WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy), along with MAC address filtering function. In
the wireless LAN environment, ESS-ID is broadcasted
periodically as beacon, which brings about the risk of
being detected by neighboring PCs.
The "Hide ESS-ID"
function of GW-AP11X makes the Access Point invisible to
other wireless LAN devices, protecting it from
an
unauthorized access. |
|
Supports Roaming
|
| |
The product supports Roaming, an advanced technology
which automatically selects (and connects to) the most
appropriate access point while the wireless
terminal/client moves. . Since wireless LAN devices
supporting this feature neither require re-configuration
or reconnection nor suffer disconnection while moving,
the devices allow the users to move freely while they
are online. |
|
Supports Configuration via a
Web Browser |
| |
The configuration parameters of wireless LAN can be
adjusted through an ordinary Web browser. Using the
graphical configuration interface, even a beginner can
easily configure parameters for wireless LAN |
|
Provides Multi-Channel
Support |
| |
The product supports up to 14 channels. When the
channels are configured so that there is no bandwidth
overlap between access points, the product avoids radio
interference between adjacent groups and even
distributes wireless traffic. In this manner, the
GW-AP11X reduces network load and improves data transfer
speed. |

| Since no cabling is required
to set up a wireless LAN, virtually anyone can
establish and start using a wireless LAN with
ease. However, data communication between two
nodes may fail or slow down significantly if they
are separated by any of the following materials
(see below). To ensure stable data communication,
it is strongly recommended to remove these objects
or environmental factors from the installation
site. | |
