Management
Windows-based Wireless Network Manager
for configuring, monitoring, and diag-
nosing the local computer and neighboring wireless APs/routers. The management protocol
is MAC-based.
Web-based Network Manager
for configuring and monitoring wireless broadband
routers. The management protocol is HTTP (HeperText Transfer Protocol)-based.
Remote Web-based management.
The wireless router can be managed from the
Internet using a Web browser.
SNMP.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) MIB I, MIB II, IEEE 802.1d,
IEEE 802.1x, and Private Enterprise MIB are supported.
UPnP.
The wireless router responds to UPnP discovery messages so that a Windows XP
user can locate the wireless router in My Network Places and use a Web browser to con-
figure it.
Telnet.
The user is enabled to manage the wireless router by using Telnet.
Local system log.
System events can be logged and viewed using a Web browser for
troubleshooting purposes.
4-Port Ethernet Switch.
The wireless broadband switch router provides a 4-port Ethernet
switch so that a stand-alone Ethernet hub/switch is not necessary for connecting Ethernet client
computers to the router.
Power over Ethernet (optional).
Supplying power to a wireless broadband router over an
Ethernet cable using PowerDsine (
http://www.powerdsine.com
) technology (IEEE 802.3af com-
pliant in the future). This feature facilitates large-scale wireless LAN deployment.
Hardware Watchdog Timer.
If the firmware gets stuck in an invalid state, the hardware
watchdog timer will detect this situation and restart the wireless router. Accordingly, the wire-
less router can provide continuous services.
