Introduction

As a standalone access point, an AP-7131N-FGR provides small and medium-sized businesses with
a consolidated wired and wireless networking infrastructure, all in a single device. The integrated
router, gateway, firewall, DHCP and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) simplify and reduce the costs
associated with networking by eliminating the need to purchase and manage multiple devices.
The access point is also designed to meet the needs of large, distributed enterprises by converging
the functionality of a thick access point and thin access port into a single device. This mode enables
the deployment of a fully featured intelligent access point that can be centrally configured and
managed via a Motorola Solutions wireless switch in either corporate headquarters or a network
operations center (NOC). In the event the connection between the access point and the wireless
switch is lost, a Remote Site Survivability (RSS) feature ensures the delivery of uninterrupted wireless
services at the local or remote site. All traffic between the adaptive access points and the wireless
switch is secured though an IPSec tunnel. Additionally, compatibility with Motorola Solutions ADSP
allows you to centrally plan, deploy, monitor and secure large deployments.
Beginning with the 4.x access point firmware baseline, Motorola Solutions is introducing an AP-
7131N-FGR model access point as a compliment to the existing AP-7131 access point family. The new
AP-7131N-FGR access point supports the same feature set as existing AP-7131and AP-7131N model
access points. Unlike the AP-7131 and AP-7131N models however, an AP-7131N-FGR has specialized
data protection mechanisms and prompts the user when secure information is displayed within the
access point GUI applet.
The AP-7131N-FGR enables you to configure one radio for 802.11a/n support, and the other for
802.11b/g/n support.
The model available to the AP-7131N-FGR series include:
• AP-7131N-66040-FGR US version only (802.11an and 802.11bgn capable)
• AP-7131n-FWW non US version only
