About the WAG102 ProSafe Dual Band Wireless Access
Point
The WAG102 ProSafe Dual Band Wireless Access Point
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 WAG102 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 with about
a 300 foot radius. The WAG102 ProSafe Dual Band Wireless Access Point can support a small
group of users in a range of several hundred feet. Most access points are rated between 10-30 users
simultaneously.
The WAG102 ProSafe Dual Band Wireless Access Point acts as a bridge between the wired LAN
and wireless clients. Connecting multiple WAG102 Access Points 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.
The auto-sensing capability of the WAG102 ProSafe Dual Band Wireless Access Point allows
packet transmission at up to 108 Mbps, or at reduced speeds to compensate for distance or
electromagnetic interference.
"Loading the manual" means you need to wait until the file loads and becomes available for online reading. Some manuals are very large, and the time they take to appear depends on your internet speed.
