WG103 ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point Reference Manual • Security Profiles. When using multiple BSSIDs, you can configure unique security settings (encryption, MAC filtering, etc.) for each BSSID. • Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they are easy to change. • Hidden Mode. In this mode the SSID is not broadcast, assuring only clients configured with the correct SSID can connect. • Configuration Backup. Configuration settings can be backed up to a file and restored. • Ethernet Interface. Connects to 10/100 Mbps IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks. • Power over Ethernet. Power can be supplied to the WG103 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. • LED Indicators. Power, test, LAN speed, LAN activity, and wireless activity are easily identified. • VLAN Support. Short for virtual LAN, a network of computers that behave as if they are connected to the same network even though they may actually 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. 802.11g Standards-based Wireless Networking The WG103 provides a bridge between Ethernet wired LANs and 802.11g compatible wireless LAN networks. The WG103 also 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 wireless access points on the same subnet • Super G-a proprietary chipset feature that has been developed to give wireless data rates of up to 108 Mbps. This higher throughput is achieved by having the features-bursting, compression, dynamic turbo, and fast frames-together. Introduction 1-3 v1.0, February 2009
