Description

This client bridge can connect up to 15 Ethernet client devices running a legacy networking protocol to the WLAN, extending wireless network access to a wide range of protocols.

An integrated serial to TCP/IP converter allows an RS-232 asynchronous terminal device to communicate over the network, enabling wireless mobility for electronic cash registers, scales, servers, printers, medical equipment, and other similar devices.

Hardware-accelerated encryption enhances performance when using WPA2/AES security.
