ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360 Key Features The ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360 provides solid functionality, including the following features: • Dual Band Concurrent. The wireless access point can operate in both the 2.4 GHz band and the 5 GHz band concurrently. The choice of bands is reflected in the protocol standard supported, as well as the administration screens that are displayed. • Multiple operating modes: - Wireless access point. Operates as a standard 802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n wireless access point. - Point-to-point bridge. In this mode, the wireless access point communicates only with another bridge-mode wireless station or wireless access point. Network authentication should be used to protect this communication. - Point-to-multipoint bridge. Select this only if this wireless access point is the master for a group of bridge-mode wireless stations. The other bridge-mode wireless stations send all traffic to this master, and do not communicate directly with each other. Network authentication should be used to protect this traffic. - Repeating the wireless signal. In this mode, the wireless access point does not function as an access point for clients but functions only in point-to-multipoint bridge mode to repeat the wireless signal and send all traffic to a remote access point. Network authentication should be used to protect this communication. • Hotspot settings. You can allow all HTTP (TCP, port 80) requests to be captured and redirected to the URL you specify. • Upgradeable firmware. Firmware is stored in a flash memory. You can upgrade it easily, using only your Web browser, and you can upgrade it remotely. You can also use the command-line interface. • Rogue AP detection. The Rogue AP filtering feature ensures that unknown APs are not given access to any part of the LAN. • Access control. The Access Control MAC address filtering feature can ensure that only trusted wireless stations can use the wireless access point to gain access to your LAN. • Security profiles. When using multiple BSSIDs, you can configure unique security settings (encryption, SSID, and so on) for each BSSID. • Hidden mode. The SSID is not broadcast, assuring only clients configured with the correct SSID can connect. • Secure Telnet command-line Interface. The secure Telnet command-line interface (CLI) enables direct secure access over the serial port and easy scripting of configuration of multiple wireless access points across an extensive network via the Ethernet interface. A Secure Shell (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. Introduction 9
