Page 5: Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction This Chapter provides an overview of the Wireless Access Point's features and capabilities. Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wireless Access Point. The Wireless Access Point links your Wireless Stations to your wired LAN. With the Wireless Access Point, you can select either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radio bands, which provides the flexibility to manage a graceful transition from networks.
Page 6 Wireless Access Point User Guide  Upgradeable Firmware. Firmware is stored in a flash memory and can be upgraded easily, using only your Web Browser.  PoE Support. You can use PoE (Power over Ethernet) to provide power to the Wireless Access Point, so only a single cable connection is required.
Page 7: Package Contents
Introduction  SNMP Support. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is supported, allowing you to use a SNMP program to manage the Wireless Access Point. When stores the con- figuration, will not affect the operation of SNMP and CLI.  VPN Pass – through. Do not affect related application operation (such as ICMP, FTP, HTTP, Etc.) when in IP network, and support VPN Pass - through function.
