1.1 Feature

The following list summarizes the key features of the ENH200:

- High-speed data rates up to 150 Mbps make the ENH200 ideally suited for handling heavy data payloads

such as MPEG video streaming

- High output power up to 26 dBm delivers superior range and coverage

- Fully Interoperable with IEEE 802.11b/IEEE 802.11g/IEEE 802.11n-compliant devices

- Multi-function capabilities enable users to use different modes in various environments

- Point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless connectivity enable data transfers between two or more

buildings

- Channel bandwidth selection allows the appropriate bandwidth to be used to reach various distances

- RSSI indicator makes it easy to select the best signal for Access Point connections

- Power-over-Ethernet capabilities allow for flexible installation locations and cost savings

- Four SSIDs let clients access different networks through a single Access Point, and assign different policies

and functions for each SSID

- WPA2/WPA/ WEP/ IEEE 802.1x support and MAC address filtering ensure secure network connections

- PPPoE/PPTP function support make it easy to access the Internet via Internet Service Provider (ISP) service

authentication

- SNMP Remote Configuration Management helps administrators remotely configure or manage the Access

Point

- QoS (WMM) support enhances performance and user experiences
