Introduction

Wireless Features (ADW-4300 only)
· Standards Compliant. The ADW-4300 complies with the IEEE802.11g (DSSS)
specifications for Wireless LANs.
· Supports both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations. The 802.11g
standard provides for backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so both
802.11b and 802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously.
· Speeds to 54Mbps. All speeds up to the 802.11g maximum of 54Mbps are
supported.
· WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key
sizes of 64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported. WEP encrypts any data before trans-
mission, providing protection against snoopers.
· WPA-PSK support. Like WEP, WPA-PSK encrypts any data before transmis-
sion, providing protection against snoopers. The WPA-PSK is a later standard than
WEP, and provides both easier configuration and greater security than WEP.
· Wireless MAC Access Control. The Wireless Access Control feature can
check the MAC address (hardware address) of Wireless stations to ensure that
only trusted Wireless Stations can access your LAN.
· Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be
changed quickly and easily.
LAN Features
· 4-Port Switching Hub. The ADE-4300/ADW-4300 incorporates a 4-port
10/100BaseT switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.
· DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a
dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The ADE-4300/ADW-
4300 can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.
Configuration & Management
· Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for
configuration.
· Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the configuration
data from the ADE-4300/ADW-4300 to your PC, and restore (upload) a previously-
saved configuration file to the ADE-4300/ADW-4300.
· Remote Management. The ADE-4300/ADW-4300 can be managed from any
PC on your LAN or Wireless LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also
(optionally) be configured via the Internet.
· Network Diagnostics. You can use the ADE-4300/ADW-4300 to perform a
Ping or DNS lookup.
Security Features
· Password - protected Configuration. Password protection is provided to
prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
· Wireless LAN Security. (ADW-4300 only) WPA-PSK, WEP and Wireless
access control by MAC address are all supported. The MAC-level access control
feature can be used to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your
LAN.
· NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation)
technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the loca-
