Formerly AE3000-T7S36XE and more recently WAE250-E
Wireless Point-to-Point or Point-to-Multipoint Backhaul Solution
Two-RF-Interfaces-In-One-Box Solution
The AE3000-T is an IEEE802.11b-based multifunction device that has two
independently configurable RF interfaces. Each RF interface can be
configured either as an AP (Access Point) interface, a static bridge
interface or a dynamic bridge interface. An AP interface enables easy
wireless access for mobile users in public areas. A static bridge
interface establishes a point-to-point wireless connection with another
bridge through the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) technology. A
dynamic bridge interface automatically establishes a point-to-point
wireless connection with APs from any vendors through the AP Client
technology.
Flexibility With 4 Operational Modes
Bridge Repeater. In this mode, both interfaces
are configured as static bridge interfaces. Packets are stored and
forwarded between the two RF interfaces with full bandwidth 11Mbps. It's
possible to use several AE3000-Ts if the distance between two locations
is long beyond two units' transmission range.
Static AP Repeater. In this mode, one WLAN interface is
configured as an AP interface, and the other is configured as a
WDS-based bridge interface. The static AP repeater is suitable for
situations in which Ethernet wiring between the AP and the network
backbone is inaccessible, or for high cost on which the topology of the
wireless bridging network is static.
Dynamic AP Repeater. In this mode, one WLAN interface
is configured as an AP interface, and the other is configured as an AP
client-based dynamic bridge interface. The dynamic AP repeater is
suitable for situations in which Ethernet wiring between the AP and the
network backbone is inaccessible, or for high cost on which the network
topology is stellar (point-to-multipoint).
Dual AP. In this mode, both WLAN interfaces are configured as
AP interfaces. The dual AP can handle twice the number of wireless
clients than a normal AP. It can be treated as "two APs in a box."
Ease of Installation and Management
Through the neat Web-based user interface of the AE3000-T, the
step-by-step installation instructions are easy to follow. And, the
network administrator can centrally manage the AE3000-T via a Web
browser or an SNMP MIB browser. The Windows-based Wireless Network
Manager (WNM) utility enables you to view all AE3000-Ts within LAN via
Auto Discovery regardless of IP address settings. The WDS link quality
indicator and WDS link health monitoring features check signal quality
based on a remote point-to-point testing mechanism for easy diagnostics.
WNM provides versatile and cost-effective WLAN management functionality,
including the ability to configure, control, monitor, update, report,
diagnose and troubleshoot the WLAN via a single Window GUI.
Suitable for Public Wireless Access
The AP interface of AE3000-T contains features that are
especially useful in public areas such as hotspots and enterprises. The
wireless client isolation feature prevents wireless hackers from
attacking other wireless subscribers computers. The AP load balancing
feature enables wireless client associations and traffic load to be
shared among all the APs within a group.
Ensure Great Security
The AP interface of AE3000-T can authenticate and authorize
wireless users in organizations, enterprises, or public areas by the
IEEE 802.1x standard. It communicates with a back-end RADIUS (Remote
Authentication User Dial-In Service) server to see if a wireless user is
allowed to access the wireless network. Windows XP has built-in support
for IEEE802.1x. WEP and WPA are also supported for better wireless
security.
