• Packet fragmentation and reassembly
• Authentication Algorithms (Open System, Shared Key, WPA-PSK)
• Short or long preamble
• Roaming among access points on the same subnet
Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink
The WG602v3 can connect to a standard Ethernet network. The LAN interface is autosensing and
capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation. The wireless access point incorporates Auto
Uplink
TM
technology. The Ethernet port will automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable
plugged into the port should have a ‘normal’ connection such as to a PC 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.
Wireless Multimedia (WMM) Support
WMM (Wireless Multimedia) 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, will have a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function correctly, Wireless
clients must also support WMM.
