ProSafe Wireless-N Access Point WNAP320 Reference Manual

About the ProSafe™ Wireless-N Access Point WNAP320

The NETGEAR ProSafe Wireless-N Access Point WNAP320 is the basic building block of a

wireless LAN infrastructure. It provides connectivity between Ethernet wired networks and

radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other

devices.

The access point provides wireless connectivity to multiple wireless network devices within a

fixed range or area of coverage—interacting with a wireless network interface card (NIC)

through an antenna. Typically, an individual in-building access point provides a maximum

connectivity area of about a 500 foot radius. Consequently, the NETGEAR ProSafe

Wireless-N Access Point WNAP320 can support a small group of users in a range of several

hundred feet. Most access points can handle between 10 to 30 users simultaneously.

The NETGEAR ProSafe Wireless-N Access Point WNAP320 acts as a bridge between the

wired LAN and wireless clients. Connecting multiple ProSafe Wireless Access Points through

a wired Ethernet backbone can further increase the wireless network coverage. As a mobile

computing device moves out of the range of one access point, it moves into the range of

another. As a result, wireless clients can freely roam from one access point to another and

still maintain seamless connection to the network.

The auto-sensing capability of the NETGEAR ProSafe Wireless-N Access Point WNAP320

allows packet transmission at up to 300 Mbps, or at reduced speeds to compensate for

distance or electromagnetic interference.

System Requirements

Before installing the access point, make sure that your system meets these requirements:

• A 10/100/1000 Mbps local area network device such as a hub or switch

• The Category 5 UTP straight-through Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector included in the

package, or one like it

• A 100–120 V, 50–60 Hz AC power source

• A Web browser for configuration such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later, or

Mozilla 3.0 or later

• At least one computer with the TCP/IP protocol installed

• 802.11b/g- or 802.11b/g-compliant devices, such as the NETGEAR WG511 Wireless

Adapter

ProSafe Wireless-N Access Point WNAP320 Reference Manual

Key Features and Standards

The ProSafe Wireless Access Point is easy to use and provides solid wireless and

networking support. It also offers a wide range of security options.

Supported Standards and Conventions

The following standards and conventions are supported:

• Standards Compliance.The wireless access point complies with the IEEE 802.11 b/g

standards for wireless LANs, and is WiFi certified for 802.11n draft 2.0 standard.

• Full WPA and WPA2 support. The wireless access point provides WPA and WPA2

enterprise-class strong security with RADIUS and certificate authentication as well as

dynamic encryption key generation. The WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK preshared key

authentication is without the overhead of RADIUS servers but with all of the strong

security of WPA.

• Multiple BSSIDs. The access point supports multiple BSSIDs. When a product family 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 eight 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 access point 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 might actually 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 and host

management, bandwidth allocation, and resource optimization.

ProSafe Wireless-N Access Point WNAP320 Reference Manual

Key Features

The WNAP320 Access Point provides solid functionality, including the following features:

• Multiple operating modes:

-Wireless Access Point. Operates as a standard 802.11b/g/n access point.

-Point-to-Point Bridge. In this mode, the access point communicates only with another

bridge-mode wireless station or access point. Network authentication should be used

to protect this communication.

-Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge. Select this only if this 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.

-Wireless Repeater. In this mode, the access point does not function as an access

point. It communicates only with Repeater mode, Point-to-Point Bridge mode, and

Point-to-Multi-point-bridge-mode wireless stations. 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 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.

• 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.

• Power over Ethernet. Power can be supplied to the access point over the Ethernet port

from any 802.3af-compliant mid-span or end-span source.

• 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.

• 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.
