NXA-WAP200G (front view)
Overview
AMX's NXA-WAP200G 802.11G Wireless Access Point/Wireless Bridge
(FG2255-01) provides both high performance and increased security to support
all of AMX's G4 Modero wireless touch panels. The NXA-WAP200G provides
convenient WLAN access for office/home computers with connection speeds of
up to 54Mbps.
The NXA-WAP200G integrates Power Over Ethernet (PoE), Repeater, and
Bridge capabilities which increase your deployment and coverage options while
easing the installation process. This 802.11g WAP is also fully compatible with
IEEE 802.11b standards, so it can connect with any existing 802.11b compliant
devices.
In addition, the WAP200G functions in tandem with optional external antennas
that meet a variety of reception/transmission needs. Each antenna provides
coverage which suits their particular installation needs and site requirements.
