11Mbps Wireless Ethernet Client (WEC) - Interoperable
 |
|
The SOHOware 11Mbps Wireless Ethernet Client (WEC) provides a standard wired interface for Ethernet-enabled devices and transparently converts the data to a wireless network connection. Devices accessing the Ethernet side require no drivers or network configuration (regardless of operating system).
The WLC221 is 802.11b compliant and fully interoperable with any Access Point, including Cisco, Symbol or SOHOware 802.11b compliant models. The WEC is ideal for providing wireless connectivity to PCs, printers and other devices that are not wirelessly enabled, and automatically accommodates a PC’s existing network settings requiring no configuration by the user. The WLC221 is ideal for extending existing wireless networks where the convenience features of the WEC add value to an existing wireless infrastructure.
The WLC221 is not remotely manageable. For advanced management functionality see the WLC261 version, which utilizes SOHOware’s IWMS management system.
Key Features and Benefits
11Mbps Wireless Transmission (802.11b)
Includes advanced radio frequency technology for exceptional receiving and transmitting signal quality, insuring outstanding performance and reliability:
. Integrated dual dipole antenna with diversity for superior receiving and transmission
. High radio sensitivity enhances receiving quality on weak data signals
Transparently Converts Wired Ethernet to Wireless Signal
Provides all the cost saving benefits of deploying a wireless network without requiring connecting clients to be wirelessly enabled. Any device with IP can be obtain network connectivity including computers and printers.
Wireless Security
Includes internal SSID and WEP encryption functions that are configured to be compatible with existing Access Point settings, and are transparent to the user. There is no public disclosure of these settings, thereby improving the overall signal security of the wireless network.
Windows Based Utility
Includes Windows based administrative utility to configure the WEC settings for security and network type, monitor signal quality and perform firmware upgrades.

Client Application Scenarios
 |
Ad-Hoc Mode:
Ad-hoc mode (also called peer-to-peer mode) offers a fast and secure network solution between PC stations.
|
 |
|
|
Infrastructure Mode:
Connects an Ethernet-enabled device to a network via an Access Point. Allows location of the connection point to be flexible using a wireless link, within the radio range of the AP. |
