802.11A/B/G/N Standards-Based Wireless Networking - NETGEAR WNDAP350 Reference Manual

ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless N Access Point WNDAP350
• Hidden Mode. The SSID is not broadcast, assuring only clients configured with the
correct SSID can connect.
• Secure Telnet Command Line Interface. The secure Telnet command line interface
enables direct secure access over the serial port and easy scripting of configuration of
multiple WNDAP350s across an extensive network via the Ethernet interface. An SSH
client is required.
• Configuration Backup. Configuration settings can be backed up to a file and restored.
• Power over Ethernet. Power can be supplied to the WNDAP350 over the Ethernet port
from any 802.3af compliant mid-span or end-span source. Please refer to the Appendix
for a list of compliant Netgear PoE switches.
• Autosensing Ethernet Connection with Auto Uplink Interface. Connects to
10/100/1000 Mbps IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks.
• LED Indicators. Power/Test, LAN speed, LAN activity, and wireless activity for each
radio mode are easily identified.
• Wireless Multimedia (WMM) Support. WMM is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WMM
allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities, depending on the kind of data.
Time-dependent information, like video or audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic.
For WMM to function correctly, Wireless clients must also support WMM.
• WMM Power Save Support. Power Save uses mechanisms from 802.11e and legacy
802.11 to save power (for battery powered equipment) and fine-tune power consumption.
• VLAN Security Profiles. Each Security Profile can be assigned a VLAN ID as each
Security Profile is modified.

802.11a/b/g/n Standards-Based Wireless Networking

The ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless N Access Point WNDAP350 provides a bridge between
Ethernet wired LANs and 802.11a/b/g/n compatible wireless LAN networks. It provides
connectivity between Ethernet wired networks and radio-equipped wireless notebook
systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other devices. Additionally, the WNDAP350
supports the following wireless features:
• Aggregation Support
• Reduced Inter Frame Spacing support
• 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
• Packet fragmentation and reassembly
• Auto or long preamble
• Roaming among access points on the same subnet
