2. System Overview and Getting Started
2.1 Introduction of 4ipnet EAP260
The 4ipnet EAP260 Enterprise Access Point embedded with 802.11 n/b/g 2.4GHz MIMO radio in dust-
proof metal housing is designed for wireless connectivity in enterprise or industrial environments of all
dimensions. EAP260 makes the wireless communication fast, secure and easy. It supports business
grade security such as 802.1X, and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2). By pushing a purposely
built button, the 4ipWES (Press-n-Connect) feature makes it easy to bridge wireless links of multiple
EAP260s for forming a wider wireless network coverage.
EAP260 also features multiple ESSIDs with VLAN tags and multiple Virtual APs, great for enterprise
applications, such as separating traffic from different departments using different ESSIDs. The PoE LAN
port is able to receive power from Power over Ethernet (PoE) sourcing devices. Its metal case is IP50
anti-dust compliant, which means that EAP260 is well suited to WLAN deployment in industrial
environments.
