3. The SmartPath AP (LWN602HA) Overview

The SmartPath AP is a high-performance and highly reliable 802.11n wireless access point. The SmartPath AP provides dual
concurrent 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n radios for 3x3 MIMO (Multiple In, Multiple Out) and dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports for
link aggregation or link redundancy. Its power management system uses a concept called smart Power over Ethernet (PoE) to
adjust its power consumption automatically in response to the available power in different environments. Smart PoE supports the
IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards.

3.1 Hardware Description

The SmartPath AP is a multichannel wireless access point. It is compatible with IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz) and IEEE 802.11a/n
(5 GHz) standards and supports a variety of wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) security protocols, including Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and
WPA2.
