TeraStar AP Plus - Access PointKey Features

Description

The AP-Plus™ is a powerful, feature-rich, two channel 802.11b compliant 11 Mbps wireless Access Point that operates on the license-free 2.4 GHz band. It comes with the Terabeam Wireless AP+ firmware upgrade installed which provides enhanced features*. For indoor applications, it extends the range of a wired Ethernet network providing easy network access to both mobile users and locations that are difficult to wire. With outdoor antennas and amplifiers, long-range line-of-site links are possible.

The AP-Plus™ is great for use at a WIPOP (Wireless Internet Point of Presence) to offer high-speed wireless Internet services. It can support two independent WLAN cards. By turning one radio into an 802.11b client, the AP-Plus™ acts as a repeater or as a bridge to another Terabeam Wireless AP-Plus enabled AP, as well as an Access Point. It is ideal for large area Wireless LAN deployment and ease of scalability.

The AP-Plus™ uses 802.1x security protocol, which provides user-based authentication and automatic key distribution in both directions. Additional features offered are SNMP, MIB II and RADIUS support. Two different POE Kits are available for the AP-Plus: one has a Standard DC Injector, the other has a Surge Protected DC Injector which features an additional wire to be connected to ground for maximum grounding protection. This is useful in areas where power is prone to spikes or random surges. Both kits include a Power Supply and an active DC Power Splitter.
