With intuitive remote management via the PLANET CloudViewerPro app and centralized NMS, it streamlines installation, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance across distributed networks.Built-in Cybersecurity Features for Industrial Network ProtectionThe IAP-3600BE supports TLS v1.3 for secure remote access and encrypted management traffic, ensuring strong protection against modern cyber threats. It also includes enterprise-grade security features such as SNMPv3 with authentication and encryption, Access Control Lists (ACLs), WPA3 encryption, and 802.1X authentication, forming a comprehensive defense against unauthorized access and data breaches.Dual Power Input for High Availability Network SystemThe IAP-3600BE features a strong dual power input system with wide-ranging voltages (9V~54V DC) incorporated into customer’s automation network to enhance system reliability and uptime. In the example below, when power supply 1 fails to work, the hardware failover function will be activated automatically to keep powering the IAP-3600BE via power supply 2 alternatively without any loss of operation.Effective Alarm Alert for Better ProtectionThe IAP-3600BE supports a Fault Alarm feature which can alert the users when there is something wrong with the device. With this ideal feature, the users would not have to waste time finding where the issue is. It will help to save time and human resource.Digital Input and Digital Output for External AlarmThe IAP-3600BE supports Digital Input and Digital Output on its upper panel. This external alarm enables users to use Digital Input to detect and log external device status (such as door intrusion detector), and send event alarm to the administrators. The Digital Output could be used to alarm the administrators if the IAP-3600BE port shows link down, link up or power failure.Flexible and Easy Installation with Limited SpaceThe compact-sized IAP-3600BE is specially designed to be installed in a narrow environment, such as a wall enclosure. It can be installed by fixed wall mounting or DIN rail, thereby making its usability more flexible and easier in any space-limited location.Key Features4 x 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 LAN ports, auto-negotiation, auto MDI/MDI-X (Port 1 to Port 4)1 x 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 WAN/LAN port, auto-negotiation, auto MDI/MDI-X (Port 5)2 x dual-band (2.4GHz/5GHz) RP-SMA connectors with antennas1 USB 3.0 port for system configuration backup/upload and firmware upgrade1 x reset button for system factory default and rebootLAN PortHardware-based 10/100Mbps, half/full duplex and 1000Mbps full duplex mode, flow control and auto-negotiation, and auto MDI/MDI-XFeatures Store-and-Forward mode with wire-speed filtering and forwarding ratesIEEE 802.3x flow control for full duplex operation and back pressure for half duplex operation10K jumbo frameAutomatic address learning and address agingIndustrial Case and InstallationIP30 metal case protectionDIN rail or wall-mount designDC 9-54V, redundant power with reverse polarity protection-40 to 70 degrees C operating temperatureDigital Input and Digital Output2 Digital Input (DI)2 Digital Output (DO)Integrate sensors into auto alarm systemMultiple Operation Modes OptionsMultiple operation modes: AP/Repeater mode, WISP mode and Gateway mode optionsIndustrial-Grade Wireless LAN ComplianceSupports Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be), the latest generation of wireless networking technologyBackward compatible with 2.4GHz (802.11b/g/n/ax/be), 5GHz (802.11a/n/ac/ax/be) frequency bandsRF Interface Characteristics802.11be 2T2R architecture with data rates up to 3600Mbps (688Mbps in 2.4GHz and 2882Mbps in 5GHz)High output power with multi-level adjustable transmit power controlSecure Wireless Connection FeaturesFull encryption supported: WPA3 Personal, WPA2/WPA3 Personal, WPA2 Personal (AES), WPA2 Personal (TKIP), WPA2 Personal (TKIP+AES), WPA/WPA2 Personal (AES), WPA/WPA2 Personal (TKIP), WPA/WPA2 Personal (TKIP+AES), WPA2 Enterprise, WPA/WPA2 EnterpriseMAC-based Access Control Lists (ACL) for enhanced device-level securityWireless AP Mode FeaturesSupports OFDMA (orthogonal frequency division multiple access)Supports MU-MIMO (multi-user multiple-input multiple-output), Beamforming and BSS ColoringWMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) provides higher priority to multimedia transmitting over wirelessCoverage threshold to limit the weak signal of clients occupying sessionReal-time Wi-Fi channel analysis chart and client limit control for better performanceTerminal Seamless Roaming with 802.11k, 802.11v, and 802.11rNEW: Supports Wi-Fi 7 enhancements, including:4096-QAM for higher data ratesMulti-Link Operation (MLO) for simultaneous multi-band transmissionGateway Mode FeaturesBuilt-in RADIUS server/ClientCaptive PortalUPnPIP routing protocol supports RIPv1/v2, OSPFPLANET DDNS/Easy DDNSSPI firewall, DDoS block, system security and NAT ALGsMAC address/IP/Web filtering and QoSDMZ and port forwardingEasy Deployment and ManagementSupports PLANET AP Controllers in AP modeSelf-healing mechanism through system auto reboot settingSystem status monitoring through remote syslog serverPLANET Smart Discovery Utility for deployment managementPLANET NMS system and CloudViewer for deployment managementSpecificationsInterfaces: 5 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 Ethernet ports (4 LAN, 1 WAN/LAN)Wireless Connector: Built-in two RP-SMA female connectorsUSB Port: 1 USB 3.0 portDI & DO Interfaces: 2 Digital Input (DI), 2 Digital Output (DO)Connector: Removable 6-pin terminal block for power inputReset Button: < 5 sec: System reboot; > 10 sec: Factory defaultEnclosure: IP30 metal caseDimensions: 50 x 135 x 135 mmWeight: 881gPower Requirements: 9~54V DC, 1.8APower Consumption: Max. 6.48W (No Loading at DC 54V), Max. 11.88W (Full loading at DC 54V)Installation: DIN-rail, desktop, wall-mountingLED Indicators: System (P1, P2, Alarm, I/O), Ethernet Interfaces (1000 LNK/ACT, 10/100 LNK/ACT), Wi-Fi (2.4GHz, 5GHz)Wi-Fi Standard: IEEE 802.11a/n/an/ac/ax/be 5GHz (2Tx2R), IEEE 802.11g/b/n/ax/be 2.4GHz (2Tx2R)Band Mode: 2.4GHz & 5GHz concurrent modeData Modulation: 802.11be: MIMO-OFDM/OFDMA (BPSK / QPSK / 16QAM / 64QAM / 256QAM / 1024QAM / 4096QAM)Antenna: 4 dBi 2.4GHz and 5GHz dual-band external antennas with RP-SMA male connectorsFrequency Range: 2.4GHz (America FCC: 2.412~2.462GHz, Europe ETSI: 2.412GHz~2.472GHz), 5GHz (America FCC: 5.180~5.240GHz, 5.745~5.825GHz, Europe ETSI: 5.180~5.700GHz)Channel Width: 20MHz, 40MHz, 80MHz, 160MHzData Transmission Rates: Transmit/Receive: 688 Mbps for 2.4 GHz and 2882 Mbps for 5 GHzEncryption Security: WPA3 Personal, WPA2/WPA3 Personal, WPA2 Personal (AES), WPA2 Personal (TKIP), WPA2 Personal (TKIP+AES), WPA/WPA2 Personal (AES), WPA/WPA2 Personal (TKIP), WPA/WPA2 Personal (TKIP+AES), WPA2 Enterprise, WPA/WPA2 EnterpriseMax.
