PePWave Surf Series User Manual Page 4 3 Product Description PePWave Surf is a feature-rich Wi-Fi CPE with WPA, WPA2 and 802.1x supplicant support. It is designed to act as a Wireless router and connects LAN users with a Wireless Broadband Internet Service (such as Citywide Wi-Fi). It associates to a service provider and authenticates using 802.1x (if needed) on start up. Upon successful association and authentication, it will acquire an IP address from the service provider using DHCP. A DHCP server is built-in on its LAN port. Network Address Translation is performed for all outbound connections. Thus it supports multiple terminals to access the Internet simultaneously. 3.1 Features  10/100 Ethernet interface with auto-crossover detection  Reset button for restoring settings to factory defaults  Signal strength LED for showing the current signal strength (PePWave indoor serials only)  WPA/WPA2-Personal and WPA/WPA2-Enterprise support  Network Address Translation (NAT) routing  Built-in DHCP server  Inbound port range forwarding  Integrated Wi-Fi Access Point (Surf AP indoor and outdoor only) Surf 200, AP 200, AP 400 Surf AP 200/400-X, PolePoint 400-X Surf 400-DX
