ProSafe Dual Band Wireless N Access Point WNDAP350 Reference Manual
1-2 Introduction
v2.0, April 2013
Supported Standards and Conventions
The following standards and conventions are supported:
• Standards Compliance. The Wireless Access Point complies with the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n
standards for Wireless LANs.
• Full WPA and WPA2 support. WPA and WPA2 enterprise-class strong security with
RADIUS and certificate authentication as well as dynamic encryption key generation.WPA-
PSK and WPA2-PSK preshared key authentication without the overhead of RADIUS servers
but with all of the strong security of WPA.
• Multiple BSSIDs. Supports multiple BSSIDs. When a wireless access point is connected to a
wired network and a set of wireless stations, it is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). The Basic
Service Set Identifier (BSSID) is a unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over
a WLAN that differentiates one WLAN from another when a mobile device tries to connect to
the network.
The multiple BSSID feature allows you to configure up to 8 SSIDs per Radio mode on your
access point and assign different configuration settings to each SSID. All the configured
SSIDs are active and the network devices can connect to the access point by using any of these
SSIDs.
• DHCP Client Support. DHCP provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon
request. The WNDAP350 can act as a client and obtain information from your DHCP server; it
can also act as a DHCP server and provide network information for wireless clients.
• SNMP Support. Support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management
Information Base (MIB) management.
• 802.1Q VLAN (Virtual LAN) Support. A network of computers that behave as if they are
connected to the same network even though they actually may 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.
Key Features
The WNDAP350 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 band(s) is reflected in the protocol standard supported, as well as the
administration screens displayed to you.
