Drayek Vigor AP-910C Ceiling Access Point

Product Description

. The Dray Tek Vigor AP-910c is a wireless access point which can be operated in standalone or centrally managed/monitored mode (with the use of a central Dray Tek management product
- see later). The AP-910c is a high

Specification professional access point providing reliable & flexible coverage to all manner of applications. A vast array of security & management features helps the AP-910c improve & protect flexibility & integrity of your wireless LAN. The Vigor AP-910c is ideal for adding wireless connectivity to an existing LAN or for expanding the range of an existing wireless LAN by using the WDS repeater features. The ceiling format of the unit means that it can provide unobstructed coverage to the area around it & aesthetically blends into any home or office environment thanks to its shape size & hidden cable entry. The AP-910c can also be wall mounted. For both options a circular mounting plate (included with the unit) is fitted & then the AP-910c is attached. The AP-910c can be used together with our other access points (AP-710 AP-810 & AP-910c). Simultaneous Dual-Band Operation and; Extended 5 Ghz Bands The Vigor AP-910c supports simultaneous operation of the common 2.4 Ghz band & the new 5 Ghz b&. The 5 Ghz band is far less congested so if your PCs or other devices support the 5 Ghz band you can use that. The Vigor AP-910c operates both bands at the same time so your devices can use either band & each has its own bandwidth so overall wireless capacity is also increased. The 5 Ghz supports the full range of extended domestic 5 Ghz channels due to its support for DFS/TPC. You can select all 5 Ghz channels up to channel 140 as opposed to just the 4 ' Band A-Lower' channels (which provides only two non-overlapping channels @ 80 Mhz channel width). Mounting and; Coverage The AP-910c is designed to be installed on ceilings in order to serve the area below it. The cables (Ethernet or Power) can reach the AP-910c from the rear or the side. For solid ceiling fixing a backplate is supplied. The backplate fixes to the ceiling & the AP-910c then clips in. Alternatively T-Bar mounts enable quick & easy attachments to suspended ceilings (see photo below). The AP-910c can also be wall-mounted
- keyhole slots on the back allowing any orientation. Beeping Access Point Locating all of your access points optimally helps ensure you have everywhere covered. Once the units are installed to help you identifying each access points you can switch on a beeper inside each unit. The unit will then beep so that you can locate it easily. Central Wireless Management The AP-910c can operate in standalone autonomous mode or can form part of a centrally managed wireless installation by adding a compatible Dray Tek wireless controller (a Vigor 2860 or 2925 router). This enables you to centrally control manage & administer multiple AP-910c devices installed around your building/campus. Management also enables efficient usage of your wireless access point through load-balancing whereby wireless clients are distributed across several access points to reduce congestion. Wireless Security and; VLANs The AP-910c features multiple levels of wireless security. Encryption using WEP WPA WPA2 (802.11i) is available you can also use the access control list (ACL) to specify the hardware addresses of clients which are permitted to connect (by MAC hardware address). Any unauthorised hardware is refused access. For additional user authentication you can activate 802.1x RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service) which means that you can centrally manage & store user names & passwords either within the AP-910c setup itself (thus not needing any external server) on an external radius server which can permit time limited temporary or continuous access to your clients as required. The Vigor AP-910c supports the 802.1q VLAN protocol so that if it
