 ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP620
802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n Standards–Based Wireless 
Networking
The wireless access point provides a bridge between wired Ethernet LANs and 802.11b/g/n- 
and 802.11a/n-compatible wireless LAN networks. It provides connectivity between wired 
Ethernet networks and radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print 
servers, and other devices.
In addition, the wireless access point supports the following wireless features:
Aggregation support
Reduced InterFrame spacing support
3 x 3 multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) support
Distributed coordinated function (CSMA/CA, back-off procedure, ACK procedure, 
retransmission of unacknowledged frames)
RTS/CTS handshake
Beacon generation
Packet fragmentation and reassembly
Auto or long preamble
Roaming among wireless access points on the same subnet
Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink
The wireless access point 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 technology. The Ethernet port 
automatically senses 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 then configures itself correctly. This feature also eliminates any concerns 
about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink accommodates either type of cable to make the right 
connection.
