Yes

Product colour: The colour e.g. red, blue, green, black, white.

White

Power

Power over Ethernet (PoE): The device supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), which is one of several standardized or ad-hoc systems which pass electrical power along with data on Ethernet cabling. This allows a single cable to provide both data connection and electrical power to devices such as wireless access points or IP cameras.

Yes

Ports & interfaces

Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports: Number of Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports (connecting interfaces) in the device. Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports allow a computer to connect to the ethernet.

2

Management features

Web-based management: Using a website/web application to manage something.

Yes

Protocols

DHCP client: Whether the product features a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to obtain IP addresses within a network.

Yes

Security

MAC address filtering: Security access control method whereby the 48-bit address assigned to each network card is used to determine access to the network. MAC addresses are uniquely assigned to each card, so using MAC filtering on a network permits and denies network access to specific devices through the use of blacklists and whitelists.

Yes

Security algorithms: Security algorithms are used to provide authentication, cipher key generation, integrity and radio link privacy to users on mobile networks. The security algorithms supported are the ones that can be used with this product.

64-bit WEP, 128-bit WEP, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK

Features

Quality of Service (QoS) support:

Yes

Modulation: Modulation is the process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal (High Frequency Signal), with a modulating signal which typically contains information to be transmitted. The aim of digital modulation is to transfer a digital bit stream over an analog bandpass channel, for example over the public switched telephone network (where a bandpass filter limits the frequency range to between 300 and 3400 Hz), or over a limited radio frequency band. The aim of analog modulation is to transfer an analog baseband (or lowpass) signal, for example an audio signal or TV signal, over an analog bandpass channel at a different frequency, for example over a limited radio frequency band or a cable TV network channel.

64-QAM, BPSK, 256-QAM, 16-QAM, QPSK, OFDM

Auto MDI/MDI-X: A Medium Dependent Interface (MDI) describes the interface (both physical and electrical) in a computer network from a physical layer implementation to the physical medium used to carry the transmission. Ethernet over twisted pair also defines a medium dependent interface crossover (MDIX) interface. Auto-MDIX ports on newer network interfaces detect if the connection would require a crossover, and automatically chooses the MDI or MDIX configuration to properly match the other end of the link.

Yes

Networking standards: The way in which the network is working, e.g. IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g.

IEEE 802.3x, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.1x, IEEE 802.1Q, IEEE 802.11v, IEEE 802.11r, IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.11k, IEEE 802.11i, IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11a
