•
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.

802.11a/g Standards-based Wireless Networking
The ProSafe 802.11a/g Dual Band Wireless Access Point WAG102 provides a bridge between
Ethernet wired LANs and 802.11a/g compatible wireless LAN networks. It provides connectivity
between Ethernet wired networks and radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop
systems, print servers, and other devices. Additionally, the WAG102 supports the following
wireless features:

Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink
The WAG102 can connect to a standard Ethernet network. The LAN interface is autosensing and
capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
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 computer 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.
