HP M220 802.11n Access Point Series
Product overview
HP M220 802.11n Access Points are dual-band, single-radio devices supporting high-speed wireless networking at 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz. They are fully compatible with the high-speed IEEE 802.11n wireless standard and backward-compatible for legacy IEEE 802.11a/b/g support. They can run standalone or can be “clustered” for simplified administration of multiple HP M220s. With clustering, configuration changes automatically propagate across all HP M220 Access Points in your network. Clustering technology requires no wireless controller or additional hardware. Through this, you can keep your network easily accessible yet secure. HP M220 802.11n Access Points come with a lifetime warranty.
- IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n access point
- Single-radio, dual-band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz)
- Simplified wireless LAN administration with clustering technology
- Powered by IEEE 802.3af PoE or included power supply
Management
- Centralized wireless LAN management (clustering)Ā ā
- Simplified access point managementĀ ā configuration parameters enabled on one access point pass to all members (up to 10 APs) of the cluster, eliminating the need to individually configure each AP
- Auto channel planningĀ ā access points in a cluster are automatically assigned to a channel that reduces interference between adjacent APs
- Client connection listĀ ā access any member of the cluster to view information about clients connected to any clustered AP
- Secure and easy-to-use Web UIĀ ā
- Quick setup pageĀ ā consolidates key settings into one page for simple and rapid configuration for common deployment scenarios
- HTTPS secured management sessionsĀ ā prevent management sessions from being observed on the network
Connectivity
- Fully IEEE 802.11n-compliant dual-band access pointĀ āIEEE 802.3af PoE-powered device (PD) optionĀ ā simplifies deployment and dramatically reduces installation costs by helping to eliminate the time and cost involved in supplying local power at each access point location
- 2.4 GHz frequency band supportĀ ā uses your IEEE 802.11n wireless clients alongside legacy IEEE 802.11b/g devices
- 5 GHz frequency band supportĀ ā operates your IEEE 802.11n and 802.11a devices in the 5 GHz spectrum, which has less interference from microwave ovens, Bluetooth devices, and cordless phones
- Auto-MDIXĀ ā automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on the 10/100/1000 port
- Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D)Ā ā prevents network loops
- IPv6 supportĀ ā the M220 Access Point provides native support for IPv6, the newest version of the Internet Protocol, as well as the previous IPv4 standard
Mobility
- Service-class segmentationĀ āAuto channel selectĀ ā helps reduce radio co-channel interference by automatically selecting an unoccupied radio channel
- Up to eight SSIDs (one per wireless community)Ā ā allows administrator to identify multiple service sets for clients to access
- Up to eight VLANs (one per wireless community)Ā ā IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging provides security and traffic control between workgroups
- Wireless Distribution System (WDS)Ā ā allows the M220 access point to connect wirelessly to other HP M220 access points without a wired backbone; this is useful for extending the network across areas where no wired infrastructure exists
- Internal MIMO omni-directional antennasĀ ā provides omni-directional radio coverage without the need to manually adjust antenna placement
- InteroperabilityĀ ā meets Wi-Fi Alliance certifications, including IEEE 802.11n Wi-Fi and WPA2 to help provide multivendor interoperability
Security
- Choice of IEEE 802.11i, WPA2, or WPAĀ ā locks out unauthorized wireless access by authenticating users prior to granting network access; robust Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption secures the data integrity of wireless traffic
- RADIUS-based user authenticationĀ ā authenticates a user with a RADIUS server based on user credentials
- RADIUS-based MAC authenticationĀ ā authenticates a wireless client with a RADIUS server based on the MAC address of the client; this is useful for clients with minimal or no user interface
- RADIUS-based VLAN assignmentĀ ā places wireless client on RADIUS-assigned VLAN
- Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)Ā ā encrypts all HTTP traffic, allowing secure access to the browser-based management interface of the access point
- Closed systemĀ ā restricts broadcast of SSID as a security measure to conceal presence of the wireless network
- Management passwordĀ ā provides security so that only authorized access to the Web browser interface is allowed
- Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) using 64- and 128-bit encryptionĀ ā provides backward compatibility for legacy clients
- Rogue AP detectionĀ ā identifies all access points in range; known or trusted access points can be saved, allowing network administrators to identify unauthorized access points
- Local wireless bridge client traffic filteringĀ ā when enabled, prevents communication between wireless devices associated with the same access point
