ProSafe Dual Band Wireless N Access Point WNDAP350 Reference Manual
Introduction 1-3
v2.0, April 2013
• Multiple operating modes:
– Wireless Access Point. Operates as a standard 802.11a/an or 11b/bg/ng access point.
– Point-to-Point Bridge. In this mode, the WNDAP350 only communicates with another
bridge-mode wireless access point (with or without clients). Network authentication
should be used to protect this communication.
– Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge. Select this only if this WNDAP350 is the “Master” for a
group of bridge-mode wireless access points. The other bridge-mode wireless access
points send all traffic to this “Master”, and do not communicate directly with each other.
Network Authentication should be used to protect this traffic.
• Hotspot Settings. You can allow the first HTTP (TCP, port 80) request, on client association,
to be captured and redirected to the URL you specify.
• Upgradeable Firmware. Firmware is stored in a flash memory and can be upgraded easily,
using only your Web browser, and can be upgraded remotely. In addition to using Web
browser to do so, command-line interface and SNMP can also be used.
• Rogue AP detection. The Rogue AP detection feature shows a list of unknown APs to the
administrator.
• Access Control. The Access Control MAC address filtering feature can ensure that only
trusted wireless stations can use the WNDAP350 to gain access to your LAN.
• Security Profiles. When using multiple BSSIDs, you can configure unique security settings
(encryption, SSID, etc.) 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 enables
direct secure access over the serial port and easy scripting of configuration of multiple
WNDAP350s across an extensive network via the Ethernet interface. An SSH client is
required.
• Configuration Backup. Configuration settings can be backed up to a file and restored.
• Power over Ethernet. Power can be supplied to the WNDAP350 over the Ethernet port from
any 802.3af compliant mid-span or end-span source. Please refer to the Appendix for a list of
compliant Netgear PoE switches.
• Autosensing Ethernet Connection with
Auto Uplink Interface. Connects to 10/100/1000
Mbps IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks.
• LED Indicators. Power/Test, LAN speed, LAN activity, and wireless activity for each radio
mode are easily identified.
