Overview

The industrial-grade 4ipnet EAP100 Enterprise Access Point with IP50 dust-proof metal housing is designed for high-performance wireless connectivity in either enterprise or industrial environments of all dimensions. It addresses wireless security concerns with the latest industry standards-based security standards that are required in the tightly secured enterprise network environments. By supporting IEEE802.1p/802.1Q QoS and 802.11e WMM, EAP100 ensures the quality of communication for multimedia applications like voice, audio and video. The dual-PoE LAN ports, LAN1 and LAN2, can receive Power over Ethernet (PoE) and are capable of providing backups between each other with EAP100's failover function. This provides EAP100 with reliable connectivity.

EAP100 can function in two modes: In the Access Point (AP) mode, EAP100 supports up to eight Virtual Access Points (VAPs) and each VAP can define its own rule settings, which makes flexible security policy possible by taking advantage of such VAP capability and at the same time, enables different levels of service to meet actual requirements. In the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) mode, EAP100 supports point-to-point or point-to-multipoint topology to widely extend its wireless coverage.

  High Speed IEEE 802.11g and Backward Compatible with 802.11b

• Equipped with a high-speed IEEE 802.11g wireless network interface based on Atheros™ chipset, transmission rates up to 54Mbps

  WDS for Extending Wireless Coverage

• Creates structural WDS (Bridge or Repeater) links connecting to other WDS-capable APs
• WDS links can serve as EAP100's LAN connections to replace Ethernet ports, or simply bridge the wired side and the wireless side as a single network

  Supporting QoS & 802.11e WMM

• Supports IEEE 802.1p/IEEE 802.1Q Quality of Service (QoS) tagging features
• Supports IEEE 802.11e Wireless Multi-Media (WMM) to fulfill bandwidth thirsty multimedia applications like voice, audio and video

  Multiple Virtual APs & Capability of Client Isolation

• Multiple-SSID capability is to use one AP to simultaneously emulate up to 8 Virtual APs with different ESSIDs by utilizing the Atheros™’s virtual AP (VAP) technology and the traffics are separated by using different VLAN IDs
• Supports client isolation, isolated from each other under one AP

  Business-class WLAN Security & Client Authentications

• Advanced security options: 64/128/152 bits WEP, WPA/WPA2 with IEEE 802.1X or PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• Wireless LAN segmentation, Disable SSID Broadcast and the option of station-isolation 
• Ability to be configurable to filter out unauthorized wireless clients with build-in MAC-based access control list or via a back-end RADIUS server by sending an authentication request
