Microtek MiniLink® Wireless Host/Access Point

The MiniLink® Wireless Host/Access Point (Host AP) is a dual band wireless transmission module. It operates in the license free 5.3 and 5.8 GHz U-NII bands. Both the omni-directional ML-WAPOM and the directional ML-WAP host/access point modules can be connected to multiple MiniLink Wireless Client/Subscriber Units. A secure encryption method is used to prevent unauthorized access to the system.

Features:

• Transmits actual throughput of 20Mbps in standard mode and 50Mbps in super mode up to 6 miles
• 8 user selectable channels, 802.11a technology, multiple Client SUs connectable per channel
• Switch selectable setup with LED indicators for ease of operation
• Connects with standard Ethernet devices - DVRs, video servers, IP cameras, router/hubs, etc.
• Uses encrypted communication for secure transmission
• Designed to work with MicroTek's Wireless Client Subscriber Units and encoder/decoders
• Unique compact, rugged modular design for easy installation - plug and play operability

The MiniLink Host AP is designed as a plug and play CAT5/Ethernet cable replacement device. Installing a system is as easy as mounting the Host AP at the receive location and then mounting and pointing the Client SU(s) at the Host AP from the remote location(s). Three LED indicators on the back of each module give power, link activity and signal level status.

The MiniLink Host AP transmits bi-directional data at 20 Mbps in standard mode and 50 Mbps in super mode. An easy to use web browser interface enables setup functions such as WEP encryption programming, turbo mode, setting IP addresses and User ID/Password changes.

The MiniLink Host AP operates on 3 non-overlapping channels in the 5.3 GHz band and 5 non-overlapping channels in the 5.8 GHz band. Individual channels are selected via a rotary switch on the side of each module.

The MiniLink Wireless Host AP enables a wide variety of IP cameras, DVRs, encoder/decoders and web servers to be used across wireless line-of-site links in ranges of 500 feet to 6 miles. In applications where it is not possible, cost effective or desirable to run a cable, wireless Ethernet systems are an ideal solution.
