Features and Benefits
1.5.1
IEEE Standards Support And Wi-Fi Compliance
•
Support for
802.3af
•
Provides bandwidth of up to 54 Mbps for IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11g (11 Mbps for
IEEE 802.11b, 108 Mbps for Atheros 802.11a Turbo).
•
Wi-Fi compliance required for certification.
1.5.2
Wireless Features
•
Auto channel selection at startup.
•
Transmit power adjustment.
•
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) for connecting multiple access points wirelessly.
Extends your network with less cabling.
•
Quality of Service (QoS) for enhanced throughput and better performance of time-sen-
sitive wireless traffic like Video, Audio, Voice over IP (VoIP) and streaming media. Our
QoS is Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) compliant.
•
Load Balancing.
•
Built-in support for multiple SSIDs (network names) and multiple BSSIDs (basic
service set IDs) on the same access point.
Two special-purpose BSSIDs are supported, one for the Internal (primary and manage-
ment) network, and the other for the guest network. Six additional general-purpose
BSSIDs (called Virtual Wireless Networks or VWNs) are supported using VLANs.
•
Channel management for automatic coordination of radio channel assignments to
reduce AP-to-AP interference on the network and maximize Wi-Fi bandwidth.
•
Neighboring access point detection (also known as "rogue" AP detection).
•
Support for IEEE 802.11d Regulatory Domain selection (country codes for global
operation).
•
Support for IEEE 802.11h, incorporating TPC and DFS.
IEEE 802.11h is a standard that provides two services required to satisfy certain regula-
tory domains for the 5 GHz band. These two services are Transmit Power Control
(TPC) and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS).
•
Support for Extended Range (XR).
