ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 • 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 wireless access point provides a bridge between wired Ethernet LANs and 802.11b/g/nand 802.11a/n-compatible wireless LAN networks. It provides connectivity between wired Ethernet networks and radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other devices. In addition, the wireless access point supports the following wireless features: • Aggregation support • Reduced InterFrame spacing support • 3 x 3 multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) support • Distributed coordinated function (CSMA/CA, back-off procedure, ACK procedure, retransmission of unacknowledged frames) • RTS/CTS handshake • Beacon generation • Packet fragmentation and reassembly • Auto or long preamble • Roaming among wireless access points on the same subnet Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink The wireless access point can connect to a standard Ethernet network. The LAN interface is autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation. The wireless access point incorporates Auto Uplink technology. The Ethernet port automatically senses whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a "normal" connection such as to a computer or an "uplink" connection such as to a switch or hub. That port then configures itself correctly. This feature also eliminates any concerns about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink accommodates either type of cable to make the right connection.

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 wireless access point provides a bridge between wired Ethernet LANs and 802.11b/g/n-
and 802.11a/n-compatible wireless LAN networks. It provides connectivity between wired
Ethernet networks and radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print
servers, and other devices.
In addition, the wireless access point supports the following wireless features:
•
Aggregation support
•
Reduced InterFrame spacing support
•
3 x 3 multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) support
•
Distributed coordinated function (CSMA/CA, back-off procedure, ACK procedure,
retransmission of unacknowledged frames)
•
RTS/CTS handshake
•
Beacon generation
•
Packet fragmentation and reassembly
•
Auto or long preamble
•
Roaming among wireless access points on the same subnet
Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink
The wireless access point can connect to a standard Ethernet network. The LAN interface is
autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
The wireless access point incorporates Auto Uplink technology. The Ethernet port
automatically senses whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a
“normal” connection such as to a computer or an “uplink” connection such as to a switch or
hub. That port then configures itself correctly. This feature also eliminates any concerns
about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink accommodates either type of cable to make the right
connection.
