ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point with RFID Support, WNDAP380R
•
Access control.
MAC address filtering can ensure that only trusted wireless clients can
use the wireless access point to gain access to the wireless and wired LAN.
•
Security profiles
.
When using multiple BSSIDs, you can configure unique security
settings (encryption, SSID, and so on) for each BSSID.
•
Hidden mode
. The SSID is not broadcast, assuring that only clients configured with the
correct SSID can connect.
•
Telnet and SSH command-line Interface
. Using an application such as PuTTY, you can
access the wireless access point over a Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) connection and use
the command-line interface (CLI) to configure the wireless access point.
•
Upgradeable firmware
. Firmware is stored in flash memory. You can upgrade it easily,
using only your web browser, and you can upgrade it remotely. You can also use the
command-line interface.
•
Configuration backup
. Configuration settings can be backed up to a file and restored.
•
Secure and economical operation
. Adjustable power output allows more secure or
economical operation.
•
PoE support
. Using Power over Ethernet (PoE), any 802.3af-compliant midspan or
end-span sources can supply power to the wireless access point over the Ethernet port.
The wireless access point can receive all required power on one Ethernet port from a
single PoE source.
•
Autosensing Ethernet connection with
Auto Uplink™
interface
. Connects to
10/100/1000 Mbps IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks.
•
LED indicators
. Power/Test, Active, LAN, and WLAN for each radio mode are easily
identified.
•
VLAN security profiles
. Each security profile is automatically allocated a VLAN ID when
the security profile is modified.
802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n Standards–Based Wireless
Networking
The wireless access point provides a bridge between wired Ethernet LANs and 802.11b/g/n-
and 802.11a/n-compatible wireless LAN networks. It provides connectivity between wired
Ethernet networks and radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print
servers, RFID tags, and other devices.
In addition, the wireless access point supports the following wireless features:
•
Aggregation support
•
Reduced InterFrame spacing support
•
2 x 2 multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) support
•
Distributed coordinated function (CSMA/CA, back-off procedure, ACK procedure,
retransmission of unacknowledged frames)
•
RTS/CTS handshake
•
Beacon generation
