Introduction
1.1 Overview
The MIL-W2332G ShAir AccessG Pro Wireless Access Point/Bridge enables IEEE
802.11g or IEEE 802.11b client computers to access the resources on the Ethernet
network. With the sleek Web-based user interface and the included ShAir Wireless
Management Utility, a network administrator can easily and clearly manage the AP.
1.2 Features
•
IEEE 802.11g
ƒ Operational modes
AP/Bridge. This mode provides both Access Point and Static LAN-to-LAN
Bridging functionality. The static LAN-to-LAN bridging function is supported
through Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
AP Client. This mode is for Dynamic LAN-to-LAN Bridging. The AP Client
automatically establishes bridge links with APs from any vendors.
ƒ RF type selection. The RF type of the WLAN interface can be configured to
work in IEEE 802.11b only, IEEE 802.11g only, or mixed mode (802.11g and
802.11b simultaneously).
ƒ 64-bit and 128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). For authentication and
data encryption.
ƒ Enabling/disabling SSID broadcasts. When the AP is in AP/Bridge mode, the
administrator can enable or disable the SSID broadcasts functionality for secu-
rity reasons. When the SSID broadcasts functionality is disabled, a client com-
puter cannot connect to the AP with an “any” network name (SSID, Service Set
ID); the correct SSID has to be specified on client computers.
ƒ MAC-address-based access control. When the AP is in AP/Bridge mode, it
can be configured to block unauthorized wireless client computers based on
MAC (Media Access Control) addresses. The ACL (Access Control List) can be
downloaded from a TFTP server.
