Introduction
The 802.11a and 802.11b Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN Dual Access Point operates in the both
5 GHz and 2.4 GHz environment at speeds up to 54 Mbps (802.11a) and 11 Mbps (802.11b). It
features a software configurable antenna and will supports IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet.
Each access point uses eight non-overlapping transmission channels for support of up to 64
active users per access point. Placement can be on a desk or table, mounting on a wall or ceiling.
The PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN Access Point is compatible with other products supporting the IEEE
802.11a standard and 802.11b standard.
Security features include support for 128, 64, and 0-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
encryption and Virtual Private Network (VPN) compatibility.
A browser-based user interface is provided for configuration of the access point. See the
installation
instructions for information on how to set up and configure one or more access points.
For information on how to set up a wireless LAN, see the
Administrator's Guide is intended for use by network administrators.
802.1x Authentication
The 802.11a Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN Dual Access Point supports 802.1x authentication
for Windows operating systems.
802.1x authentication for wireless LANs has three main components: The supplicant (usually the
client software); the authenticator (the access point); and the authentication server (usually a
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service or RADIUS server).
802.1x is a standards-based solution for port-level authentication for a wired or wireless Ethernet
client systems.
