Does MB5000 pass PPTP packets or actively route PPTP sessions? 

MB5000 allows PPTP packets to pass through. 

 

Is MB5000 cross-platform compatible? 

Any platform that supports Ethernet and TCP/IP is compatible with MB5000. 

 

Can MB5000 act as my DHCP server? 

Yes. MB5000 has DHCP server software built-in. 

 

What is the IEEE 802.11g standard? 

It is one of the IEEE standards for wireless networks. The 802.11g standards allow 

wireless networking hardware from different manufacturers to communicate, provided that 

the hardware complies with the 802.11g standards. The 802.11g standards state a 

maximum data transfer rate of 54Mbps and an operating frequency of 2.4GHz. The 

802.11g is downward compatible with 802.11b. 

 

What IEEE 802.11b features are supported? 

MB5000 supports the following IEEE 802.11b functions: 

• CSMA/CA plus Acknowledge protocol 

• Multi-Channel Roaming 

• Automatic Rate Selection 

• RTS/CTS feature 

• Fragmentation 

• Power Management 

 

Will the information be intercepted while it is being transmitted through the air? 

WLAN features two-fold protection in security. On the hardware side, as with Direct 

Sequence Spread Spectrum technology, it has the inherent security feature of scrambling. 

On the software side, WLAN offers the encryption function (WEP or WPA) to enhance 

security and access control.
