HP ProCurve M111 Client Bridge

Formally The Colubris WLAN Client Bridge 200 (WCB-200)

This client bridge enables organizations to unwire a broad range of computing devices and realize the benefits of mobility. It connects legacy Ethernet or serial communications stations to a wireless LAN with simplicity and security. Electronic cash registers, servers, printers and other devices can be deployed in any location where a WLAN signal is available, eliminating the time and expense of installing Ethernet cable for network access.

The Wireless Client Bridge 200 (WCB-200) connects legacy Ethernet or serial
communications stations to a wireless LAN with simplicity and security. It enables
organizations to unwire a broad range of computing devices and realize the benefits
of mobility. Electronic cash registers, servers, printers and other devices can be
deployed in any location where a WLAN signal is available, eliminating the time and
expense of installing Ethernet cable for network access.

The WCB-200 integrates into a Colubris Intelligent Mobility System and it is interoperable
with any IEEE 802.11 network infrastructure.

Legacy client devices can be easily integrated into a WLAN using the WCB-200. The
WCB-200 can bridge an Ethernet client device running a legacy networking protocol
to the WLAN, extending wireless network access to a wide range of DECnet, IPX,
Appletalk and other devices. An integrated serial to TCP/IP converter enables a
TIA-232 asynchronous terminal device to communicate with a compatible station on
the network.

The WCB-200 features an advanced WLAN radio that provides superior performance
than most embedded WLAN adapters. It includes support for all 2.4 GHz or 5GHz
channels available within each supported regulatory domain. High output power and
antenna diversity ensure the best possible range and throughput. External antenna
connectors can be used to attach high-gain antennas for specialized applications.
Strong enterprise-class layered security features protect the network from intrusions.
The WCB-200 WLAN interface includes an 802.1x supplicant for authentication by an
access point and RADIUS server. Hardware accelerated encryption provides high
performance when using WPA2 (AES), WPA or WEP security. The web management
interface is protected using SSL.

Bidirectional L2/L3 filters enable administrators to control access to WCB-200
interfaces. A MAC address white list restricts access to the Ethernet port and UDP port
filtering controls access to network services.

The WCB-200 features comprehensive remote manageability, including full support as
a managed node in the Colubris Network Management System. For ease of
deployment and operation, the WCB-200 can be configured via an intuitive web user
interface and secure file transfer protocols simplify software maintenance. Support for
SNMP enables integrated management using any enterprise NMS.
A rugged, metal enclosure and mounting bracket provide installation flexibility. Its
small size and plenum rated enclosure enable the WCB-200 to be installed on a
desktop, or it can be hidden from view in a ceiling.
