SSL Passthrough

The G-560 allows SSL connections to go through the G-560. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
uses a public key to encrypt data that's transmitted over an SSL connection. Both Netscape
Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL, and many Web sites use the protocol to obtain
confidential user information, such as credit card numbers. By convention, URLs that require
an SSL connection start with "https" instead of "http".

Wireless LAN MAC Address Filtering

Your G-560 checks the MAC address of the wireless station against a list of allowed or denied
MAC addresses.
WEP Encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the wireless
network to help keep network communications private.
IEEE 802.1x Network Security
The G-560 supports the IEEE 802.1x standard to enhance user authentication. Use the built-in
user profile database to authenticate up to 32 users using MD5 encryption. Use an EAP-
compatible RADIUS (RFC2138, 2139 - Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server
to authenticate a limitless number of users using EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).
EAP is an authentication protocol that supports multiple types of authentication.

Full Network Management

The embedded web configurator is an all-platform web-based utility that allows you to easily
access the G-560's management settings.

Logging and Tracing

Built-in message logging and packet tracing.

Wireless Association List

With the wireless association list, you can see the list of the wireless stations that are currently
using the G-560 to access your wired network.
Output Power Management
Output Power Management is the ability to set the level of output power.
There may be interference or difficulty with channel assignment when there is a high density
of APs within a coverage area. In this case you can lower the output power of each access
point, thus enabling you to place access points closer together.
