Reference Manual for the WG302 802.11g ProSafe Wireless Access Point • Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they are easy to change. • Hidden Mode. The SSID is not broadcast, assuring only clients configured with the correct SSID can connect. • Secure Telnet Command Line Interface. The Telnet command line interface enables direct access over the serial port and easy scripting of configuration of multiple WG302 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. • Secure and Economical Operation. Adjustable power output allows more secure or economical operation. • Power over Ethernet. Power can be supplied to the WG302 over the Ethernet port from any 802.3af compliant mid-span or end-span source such as the NETGEAR FSM7326P Managed Power over Ethernet Layer 3 managed switch. • Autosensing Ethernet Connection with Auto Uplink Interface. Connects to 10/100 Mbps IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks. • LED Indicators. Power, test, LAN speed, LAN activity, and wireless activity are easily identified. 802.11g Standards-based Wireless Networking The WG302 802.11g ProSafe Wireless Access Point 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. Introduction 2-3 December 2003

802.11g Standards-based Wireless Networking
The WG302 802.11g ProSafe Wireless Access Point 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.
