Key Features and BenefitsPerformance and Scalability
The dual-radio design allows for simultaneous access of IEEE
802.11a and 802.11b/g clients to the wireless LAN, for
flexibility and an increased number of clients, up to 128 users
per band.

Both IEEE 802.11a and 802.11b/g radios support data rates of
up to 54Mbps. With Turbo A/G, the data rates can be
increased up to 40 - 60Mbps. With Super A/G, data rates can
be increased up to 108Mbps.

Auto channel selection simplifies Access Point deployment by
testing all available channels and selecting the best channel
based on signal-to-noise ratio.

The WA6102X has 2 SMA connectors and includes 2
detachable diversity dual-band omni-directional antennas for
easy deployment.

Integrated IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet simplifies
deployment and dramatically reduces installation costs.

High power 17dBm for 11g and 14dBm for 11a in 54Mbps
high band; 20dBm for 11g and 20dBm in 6Mbps high band

WDS (Wireless Distribution System) bridge mode and repeater
mode are supported and is perfect for extending the network
without wires in large open areas such as warehouses and
retail stores.

Continuous Availability
IEEE 802.11f IAPP provides rapid handoff for seamless
roaming as clients move between Access Points.
IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol ensures a loop free
network.

8 Virtual AP (Multiple SSID) per radio are supported,
segregating departmental traffic and guest traffic into different
VLANs for different access control, security and QoS policies.

Comprehensive QoS
IEEE 802.11e and WMM prioritize delay sensitive traffic, such
as voice and video over data traffic, ensuring high quality as
well as optimal network utilization.

Enhanced Security
IEEE 802.1x authentication, Pre-shared key authentication
and MAC address authentication are all supported to ensure
that only authorized users are allowed access to the wireless
network.

IEEE 802.1x support includes EAP-MD5,EAP-TLS,EAP-TTLS
and PEAP, providing strong, mutual authentication and
dynamic encryption key management per user and session.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) combines IEEE 802.1x user
authentication with enhanced, industry-compatible encryption
(TKIP). WPA2 and IEEE 802.11i include AES-CCM for data
encryption, significantly enhancing wireless data privacy.

IEEE 802.1Q compliant VLAN support and tagging permit 64
VLANs to be independently mapped to a RADIUS server.

The local wireless bridge filter, when enabled, prevents
communication between wireless devices associated with the
same access point.

Simple Management
Industry standard Command Line Interface (CLI) via console
port or Telnet provides a common user interface and
command set for users to manipulate the Access Point.

Embedded user friendly web interface helps users to quickly
and simply configure the Access Point.

SNMP v1, v2, v3 network management and can be used with
SNMP software such as ECview.

Dual flash images enable auto-recovery upon unsuccessful
software download.
