Network Protocols
The document discusses RIPv2 and OSPF, focusing on their basic functions. It also covers DHCP server configurations for WLAN or HOST, with DNS and gateway settings dynamically stored as the relay if an interface is configured as a DHCP client. Additionally, DHCP requests can be forwarded to a centralized DHCP server.
Wireless Backbone
Wireless backbone structures (WDS) can be established using dual access points.
Configuration and Monitoring
The web interface offers online help tooltips for important options and is switchable between German and English. Access via HTTP/HTTPS can be configured per interface, with access violations recorded in a log. The HTTPS certificate is replaceable, and HTTP access can be disabled. Multi-user rights management allows configuration at the user level.
SIM Card Reader
Specific ads-tec SIM cards can be used in the integrated SIM card reader to store configurations, facilitating easy device replacement without reconfiguration.
IDA Light
The IDA tool from ads-tec enables auto-detection and IP configuration on layer 2 for quick commissioning.
SNMP Support
SNMPv2/v3 support allows integration with commercially available system monitoring tools.
