ProSafe Dual Band Wireless Access Point WNDAP330 Reference Manual Key Features and Standards The WNDAP330 Wireless Access Point is easy-to-use and provides solid wireless and networking support. It also offers a wide range of security options. Supported Standards and Conventions The following standards and conventions are supported: • Standards Compliance. The Wireless Access Point complies with the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g standards for Wireless LANs, and is WiFi certified for 802.11n draft 2.0 standard. • Full WPA and WPA2 support. WPA and WPA2 enterprise-class strong security with RADIUS and certificate authentication as well as dynamic encryption key generation.WPAPSK and WPA2-PSK preshared key authentication without the overhead of RADIUS servers but with all of the strong security of WPA. • Multiple BSSIDs. Supports multiple BSSIDs. When a wireless access point is connected to a wired network and a set of wireless stations, it is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). The Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) is a unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that differentiates one WLAN from another when a mobile device tries to connect to the network. The multiple BSSID feature allows you to configure up to 8 SSIDs per Radio mode on your access point and assign different configuration settings to each SSID. All the configured SSIDs are active and the network devices can connect to the access point by using any of these SSIDs. • DHCP Client Support. DHCP provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The WNDAP330 can act as a client and obtain information from your DHCP server; it can also act as a DHCP server and provide network information for wireless clients. • SNMP Support. Support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Information Base (MIB) management. • 802.1Q VLAN (Virtual LAN) Support. A network of computers that behave as if they are connected to the same network even though they actually may be physically located on different segments of a LAN. VLANs are configured through software rather than hardware, which makes them extremely flexible. VLANs are very useful for user/host management, bandwidth allocation and resource optimization. 1-2 Introduction v1.0, May 2008
