Compex's many technologically advanced features distinguish the products from the competition.
INTEGRATED FIREWALL
Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) Firewall - A simpler, yet more rigorous method of firewall implementation that analyzes and examines all incoming data transmission packets in terms of sessions.
PSEUDO VIRTUAL LAN
Pseudo VLAN - Compex's unique wireless segmentation security implementation providing a safer wireless network for home or business.
UNIVERSAL CONFIGURATOR
uConfig - A Compex unique feature that provides the ability to directly access web-configurable Ethenet devices without the need to know absolute IP addresses. The feature is standard on all Compex devices that feature web-based configuration.
BROADBAND
Parallel Broadband - is a new feature that enables the connection of several Broadband Gateways and attached ADSL lines to a single network. The gateways distribute Internet traffic between the ADSL links. This allows companies to incrementally boost their Internet performance as and when needed. For example, multiple 1 mbps ADSL lines may be added instead of a leased line to give greater performance at less than 10% of the cost!
LONG DISTANCE PARAMETER SETTINGS (LDA)
Long Distance Parameter Settings (LDA) - equips our APs with the ability to manually adjust parameters such as slot time, ACK time-out and CTS time-out on the wireless device to achieve a longer range. Our proprietary algorithm also provides recommended values for the parameters and at the same time allows for manual fine-tuning for optimal performance. Practical uses of this improvement include the deployment of long-range point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless networks at a reduced cost.
SPANNING TREE PROTOCOL (STP)
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) - is a link management protocol that provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. Spanning Tree Protocol forces certain redundant data paths into a standby (blocked) state, if one network segment in the Spanning Tree Protocol becomes unreachable, or if Spanning Tree Protocol costs change, the spanning tree algorithm reconfigures the spanning tree topology and reestablishes the link by activating the standby path, hence, providing a fail-safe connectivity.
WMMT Quality of Service is a set of features for Wi-Fi networks that improve the user experience for audio, video, and voice applications by prioritizing data traffic. Since the WMMT certification program launched in September 2004, more than 200 Wi-Fi devices have been Wi-Fi CERTIFIEDT for WMM.
WMMT Quality of Service is based upon a subset of the IEEE 802.11e standard.
WIRELESS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM (WDS)Wireless Distribution System enables roaming between multiple access point and connections to wired network resources to cover large areas where one access point is unable to provide full coverage. The 802.11 standard specifies a distribution system , which provides wired interconnections between access points. The 802.11 standard says that the distribution system may be of any technology, such as Ethernet, token ring, or any other network type. The majority of actual installations, however, utilize Ethernet.
