Reference Manual for the NETGEAR ProSafe Wireless Access Point 802.11g WG302 AutoCell is completely automatic: It is a continuous communication system that relies on a lightweight protocol to monitor changes on the wireless domain while keeping overhead very low. Among AutoCell's inherent advantages: • Elimination of manual site surveys and channel maps • Dynamic load balancing • Plug-and-play-implementation • Transparent fault recovery and failover Since AutoCell is completely self-organizing, it holds human intervention to a minimum. That reduces the people costs associated with deployment, management, and maintenance-making 802.11 WLANs practical, efficient, and cost-effective. 802.11g Standards-based Wireless Networking The NETGEAR ProSafe Wireless Access Point 802.11g WG302 provides a bridge between Ethernet wired LANs and 802.11g 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 WG302 supports the following wireless features: • Distributed coordinated function (CSMA/CA, Back off procedure, ACK procedure, retransmission of unacknowledged frames) • RTS/CTS handshake • Beacon generation • Packet fragmentation and reassembly • Short or long preamble • Roaming among access points on the same subnet Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink The WG302 can connect to a standard Ethernet network. The LAN interface is autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation. 2-4 Introduction July 2005 v3.0
