Chapter 1 Introduction

The WLAN-9100 is an efficient bridge between wired and wireless local area networks. It
brings with it the advantage of network expandability and mobility for users. The
WLAN-9100 is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.11(b) 11Mbps Wireless LAN standard,
and features powerful functions such as: high-security WEP40 protection, a self-diagnostic
configuration utility, Web management, SNMP and more. The WLAN-9100 is especially
suitable for difficult-to-wire environments and mobile workers.
If placed anywhere along a LAN, the WLAN-9100 allows wireless stations to access
transparently the corporate network.. By detecting WLAN-9100s automatically, wireless
LAN devices can roam different areas so long as they are configured correctly. In addition,
the WLAN-9100 also provides WEP40 standard and MAC Access Control for transmission
security. This makes it suitable for high-security network. We also provide four convenient
methods to configure WLAN-9100: Web management, telnet, configuration utility, RS-232.
You can configure it via Internet remotely. For further protecting transmission security,
WLAN-9100 adapts MAC access control to limit the specific wireless LAN devices to join
the network.
