3e–527A3 Wireless Access Point – 8 Port
Chapter 1: Introduction
This manual covers the installation and operation of the 3e Technolo-
gies International's 3e–527A3 Wireless Access Point. The 3e–527A3 is a
ruggedized access point/gateway/bridge which is intended for use in
industrial and external environments. It accommodates 802.11a/b/g, and
802.11a Turbo WLAN access and uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) access
to the Ethernet WAN to eliminate the need for internal access point power
supply units (AC-DC converters) and 110-220V cabling installations. The
wireless LANs can include mobile devices such as handheld Personal
Data Assistants (PDAs), mobile web pads, and wireless laptops.
FIPS 140-2 mode is always on and encryption is applied for the
WLAN. You can set encryption for Static AES, Static 3DES, Dynamic Key
Exchange, or FIPS 802.11i.
The access point employs state-of-the-art AES or 3DES encryption,
wireless devices must have the 3e-010F, 3e-010F-A-2, or 3e-010F-C-2
Crypto Client software installed. (The 3e-010F Crypto Client software is
sold with the 3e-110 long range PC Card or sold separately for use with
other compatible PC Cards.)
The 3e–527A3 incorporates Power over Ethernet. The PoE interface
on the 3e–527A3 is compatible with commercial vendor "injected power"
hub units.
The 3e–527A3 includes AES/3DES cryptographic modules for wire-
less encryption and HTTPS/TLS, for secure web communication. The
3e–527A3 has an Ethernet WAN interface for communication to the wired
LAN backbone, Ethernet LAN local port for purposes of initial setup
and configuration, and one wireless AP antenna for communicating on
the 802.11b/g frequencies. An antenna for bridging uses the 802.11a and
802.11a Turbo frequencies. The AP and Bridging frequencies can also be
swapped using a software configurable feature. In other words the AP
can use 802.11a/Turbo A and the Bridge can use 802.11b/g.
