Draytek
Vigor AP700
Wireless Access Point WAP
The DrayTek VigorAP 700 is a draft n Wireless
Access Point and it provides the ultimate industry standard access
to corporate network, the Internet, e-mail and residential wireless
network. With mobile workforce demands, DrayTek VigorAP 700 delivers
reliable and secure wireless local area networks (WLANs). The
extended range is enabled through its simplified but robust
management and configuration.
DrayTek implements intelligent wireless prioritization technology on DrayTek VigorAP 700. DrayTek VigorAP 700 supports Wi-Fi Multi Media standard (WMM). It is a standard created to define Quality of Service (QoS) in Wi-Fi networks. It is a precursor to the upcoming IEEE 802.11e WLAN QoS draft standard, which is meant to improve audio, video and voice applications transmitted over Wi-Fi. WMM adds prioritized capabilities to Wi-Fi networks and optimizes their performance when multiple concurring applications, each with different latency and throughput requirements, compete for network resources. |

Because wireless clients must have the same SSID as the access point, the
traditional access points only can support a single SSID. The DrayTek VigorAP
700 supports 4 separate SSIDs and virtual LANs (VLANs). As a result, the DrayTek
VigorAP700 divides itself into several virtual access points all within a single
hardware platform. Many mobile networks deployed at corporate offices, hotels,
shopping malls or restaurants can take advantage of this technology to support
several applications such as public Internet access and inventory management.
The different policies and functions for each SSID will be able to be assigned.
Consequently, the efficiency and flexibility of the network infrastructure can
be enhanced. For example, guests of a company could be given wireless access for
the Internet, but they are excluded from any access to the internal data server.
You can obtain the MAC addresses of each wireless client from its configuration
utility or operating system. You then enter these addresses into a configuration
page of DrayTek VigorAP 700. When MAC address filtering is activated, DrayTek
VigorAP 700 performs additional check for wireless clients to prevent network
breaking. Clients within the authenticated list will be able to join with the
WLAN. Those who are not on the list will be denied while DrayTek VigorAP 700
receives their request to join the WLAN.
With industry level security standards for wireless user authentication and data
encryption, 802.11i (WPA2) offers strengthened and interoperable wireless
networking security. The activation of 802.1x RADIUS (Remote Authentication
Dial-in User Service) allows you centrally manage and store user names and
passwords. You can ensure that only legitimate clients can be associated with
corporate RADIUS servers.
The DrayTek VigorAP 700 can extend over large areas (alike shopping mall) by its
"WDS" (wireless distribution system). WDS takes care of the establishment of
WLAN network with "point-to-point" and "point-to-multi-point" bridging and
repeater modes. The repeater mode provides extend wireless access to additional
clients where there is a relay AP repeats signal from a base AP to distant
clients. The bridge-to-bridge mode allows two wired networks to be connected
across some distance. The detachable antenna will let you replace with DrayTek
antennas for directional signal shaping or mounting flexibility.
