The main purpose of WEP-200L is installation inside buildings as an access point to various resources creating a seamless wireless network from several identical access points (“Roaming”), if the coverage area is large enough.
The device is designed for installation in offices (government institutions, conference rooms, laboratories, hotels, etc.). Ability to create virtual hotspots with different encryption types allows one to place WEP-200L in organizations where separation of access rights is required between ordinary users and dedicated user groups.
Centralized authorization via RADIUS server (802.1X WPA/WPA2 Enterprise); • WPA/WPA2 data encryption; • Support for Captive Portal. Figure shows WEP-200L application diagram.
