AT-WA7500

Dual Radio Wireless Access Point

xt Generation Wireless

Access Point

The next-gener

ation dual radio access point

AT-WA7500 accommodates radios operating

within the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands.

Configured for either single or dual radios, the

AT-WA7500 is fully compliant with IEEE

802.11a,

802.11b

, and 802.11g standards and is

easily upgradeable for future radio environments

and needs.

Advanced Security

The AT-WA7500 is equipped with advanced

encryption and authentication capabilities such

as WPA, WEP 128 with auto key rotation, IEEE

802.1x, EAP/TLS and EAP/TTLS authentication,

and an embedded RADIUS server. In addition

to securing the wireless local area network,

these features enable faster roaming and

enhanced mobility, while the secure high-speed

exchange enforces network security as it main-

tains a seamless connection.

Enterprise-class F

eatures

The enter

ise-class access point

T-WA7500

pro

vides the features necessary to support

mission-critical applications. Allied Telesis’ indus-

try leading IP tunneling enables mobile workers

to roam from access point to access point—or

en onto older switches that do not support

backward learning—without breaking network

connections, eliminating the need for dedicated

servers, manual IP address entry, or mobile IP

software on the clients.

In addition,

IP addresses

are easier and less expensiv

e to administer with

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

ser

ver functionality, and Network Access

Translation (NAT) support enables the AT-

WA7500 to assign and manage static IP address-

es. Last, but not least, AT-WA7500 comes with

Avalanche Enabler, a remote management soft-

ware that discovers, configures, and manages

the wireless clients remotely.

High Performance & Flexibility

In order to ensure few

er dropped packets, less

network congestion, and better overall per-

for

mance, the AT-WA7500 uses packet filtering.

And the AT-WA7500 PoE capable solution

eliminates the need and expense of installing

separate cables and outlets.

Additional Information

There is no antenna requirement for the

AT-WA7500 model that has an IEEE 802.11a

radio installed in slot number one. All IEEE

802.11a radios for this model are manufactured

with a bonded and integrated antenna connected

directl

y to the IEEE 802.11a r

adio.

wever, all AT-WA7500 Access Point product

model configurations require customers to

order separ

atel

y at least one basic antenna for

each IEEE 802.11b radio configured within the

AT-WA7500 product.The AT-WA7500 products

will not functional according to IEEE 802.11b

adio specif

ications without the antenna.
