1-1v1.1, November 2009Chapter 1IntroductionThis chapter describes some of the key features of the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350. It also includes the minimum prerequisites for installation (“System Requirements” on page 1-5.), package contents (“What’s In the Box?” on page 1-6) and a description of the front and back panels of the WNDAP350 (“Hardware Description” on page 1-6).About the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350The ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350is 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 WNDAP350 provides wireless connectivity to multiple wireless network devices within a fixed range or area of coverage, interacting with a wireless network interface card (NIC) via an antenna. Typically, an individual in-building access point provides a maximum connectivity area of about a 500 foot radius. Consequently, the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350 can support a small group of users in a range of several hundred feet. Most access points can handle between 10 to 32 users simultaneously per radio.The WNDAP350 wirelss access point acts as a bridge between the wired LAN and wireless clients. Connecting multiple WNDAP350s via a wired Ethernet backbone can further lengthen 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.Key Features and StandardsThe WNDAP350 wirelss access point is easy-to-use and provides solid wireless and networking support. It also offers a wide range of security options.

ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350 Reference Manual1-2 Introductionv1.1, November 2009Supported Standards and ConventionsThe 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 FeaturesThe 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.

ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350 Reference ManualIntroduction 1-3v1.1, November 2009• 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.

2-1v1.1, November 2009Chapter 2Basic Installation and ConfigurationThis chapter describes how to set up your ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350for wireless connectivity to your LAN. This basic configuration will enable computers with 802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n wireless adapters to do such things as connect to the Internet, or access printers and files on your LAN.This chapter contains the following sections:1. “Wireless Equipment Placement and Range Guidelines2. “Understanding WNDAP350 Wireless Security Options3. “Installing the WNDAP350 wirelss access point4. “Logging In Using the Default IP Address5. “Setting Basic IP Options6. “Wireless Settings7. “Setting Up and Testing Basic Wireless Connectivity8. “Understanding Security Profiles9. “SSID and WEP/WPA Settings Setup Form10. “Configuring the RADIUS Server Settings11. “Setting up a Security Profile12. “Configuring WEP13. “Configuring WPA with RADIUSNote: Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11b/bg/ng or 802.11a/na wireless networks at ranges of several hundred feet or more. This distance can allow for others outside your area to access your network. It is important to take appropriate steps to secure your network from unauthorized access. The WNDAP350 wirelss access point provides highly effective security features which are covered in detail in “Understanding Security Profiles” on page 2-23. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.

ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350 Reference Manual2-2 Basic Installation and Configurationv1.1, November 200914. “Configuring WPA2 with RADIUS15. “Configuring WPA and WPA2 with RADIUS16. “Configuring WPA-PSK17. “Configuring WPA2-PSK18. “Configuring WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK19. “Restricting Wireless Access by MAC AddressYou need to prepare these three things before you can establish a connection through your wireless access point:• A location for the WNDAP350 that conforms to the “Wireless Equipment Placement and Range Guidelines below.• The wireless access point connected to your LAN through a device such as a hub, switch, router, or Cable/DSL gateway. • One or more computers with properly configured 802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n wireless adapters.Wireless Equipment Placement and Range GuidelinesThe operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical placement of the wireless access point. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration choices.For best results, place your wireless access point:• Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate.• In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected PCs have line-of-sight access (even if through walls).• Away from sources of interference, such as PCs, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless phones.• Away from large metal surfaces.The antenna provides better coverage above the access point. Place the access point so that it is either ceiling mounted or mounted on a wall facing the users. Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the WNDAP350. For complete performance specifications, see Appendix A, “Default Settings and Technical Specifications.”

ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350 Reference ManualBasic Installation and Configuration 2-3v1.1, November 2009If you are using multiple access points for 11b/bg/ng, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended Channel spacing between adjacent access points is 5 Channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11). For 11a/na, the 6 Channel spacing is not needed.The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security settings and placement. Some types of security connections can take slightly longer to establish and can consume more battery power on a notebook computer.Understanding WNDAP350 Wireless Security OptionsYour wireless data transmissions can be received well beyond your walls by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of your wireless equipment. The WNDAP350 wirelss access point provides highly effective security features which are covered in detail in this chapter. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.Figure 2-1There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network:•Restrict Access Based on MAC address. You can restrict access to only trusted PCs so that unknown PCs cannot wirelessly connect to the WNDAP350. MAC address filtering adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed.

ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350 Reference Manual2-4 Basic Installation and Configurationv1.1, November 2009•Turn Off the Broadcast of the Wireless Network Name (SSID). If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the wireless network “discovery” feature of some products such as Windows XP, Vista and Unix systems but the data is still fully exposed to a determined snoop using specialized test equipment like wireless sniffers.•Use WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP open authentication and WEP data encryption will block all but the most determined eavesdropper. •Use WPA or WPA-PSK. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption provides data security. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per frame rekeying of WPA make it virtually impossible to compromise. Because this is a new standard, wireless device driver and software availability may be limited.Installing the WNDAP350 wirelss access pointBefore installing the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350, you should make sure that your Ethernet network is up and working.
