ProSafe Dual Band Wireless Access Point WAG102 Reference Manual (802.11a/g)
•Autosensing Ethernet Connection with Auto Uplink Interface. Connects to 10/100 Mbps IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks.
•LED Indicators. Power, test, LAN speed, LAN activity, and wireless activity are easily identified.
•Wireless 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 must also support WMM.
•VLAN Security Profiles. Each security profile is automatically allocated a VLAN ID as each security profile is modified.
802.11a/g Standards-based Wireless Networking
The ProSafe 802.11a/g Dual Band Wireless Access Point WAG102 provides a bridge between Ethernet wired LANs and 802.11a/g compatible wireless LAN networks. It provides connectivity between Ethernet wired networks and
•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 access points on the same subnet
Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink
The WAG102 can connect to a standard Ethernet network. The LAN interface is autosensing and capable of
The wireless access point incorporates Auto UplinkTM technology. The Ethernet port will automatically sense 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 will then configure itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates any concerns about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection.
