ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360 • Power over Ethernet. Power can be supplied to the wireless access point over the Ethernet port from any 802.3af-compliant midspan or end-span source. • Autosensing Ethernet connection with Auto Uplink™ interface. Connects to 10/100/1000 Mbps IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks. • LED indicators. Power/Test, Active, LAN, and WLAN for each radio mode are easily identified. • Wi-FI Multimedia (WMM) support. WMM is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WMM allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities, depending on the kind of data. Time-dependent information, like video or audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function correctly, wireless clients also need to support WMM. • Quality of Service (QoS) support. You can configure parameters that affect traffic flowing from the wireless access point to the client station and traffic flowing from the client station to the wireless access point. The QoS feature allows you to prioritize traffic, such as voice and video traffic, so that packets do not get dropped. • VLAN security profiles. Each security profile is automatically allocated a VLAN ID when the security profile is modified. 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n Standards-Based Wireless Networking The ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360 provides a bridge between wired Ethernet LANs and 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n-compatible wireless LAN networks.

ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360
Power over Ethernet
. Power can be supplied to the wireless access point over the
Ethernet port from any 802.3af-compliant midspan or end-span source.
Autosensing Ethernet connection with
Auto Uplink™
interface
. Connects to
10/100/1000 Mbps IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks.
LED indicators
. Power/Test, Active, LAN, and WLAN for each radio mode are easily
identified.
Wi-FI Multimedia (WMM) support
. WMM is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WMM
allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities, depending on the kind of data.
Time-dependent information, like video or audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic.
For WMM to function correctly, wireless clients also need to support WMM.
Quality of Service (QoS) support
. You can configure parameters that affect traffic
flowing from the wireless access point to the client station and traffic flowing from the
client station to the wireless access point. The QoS feature allows you to prioritize traffic,
such as voice and video traffic, so that packets do not get dropped.
VLAN security profiles
. Each security profile is automatically allocated a VLAN ID when
the security profile is modified.
