Features Supported by the WLA532 Access Point
Features supported by the access point include:
•
Up to 450Mbps transmission—WLA532 3x3 spatial stream access point can support
data rates of up to 450-Mbps in a 5-GHz band with 40-MHz channel bonding and a
short-guard interval. On a 2.4-GHz band with 20-MHz channel width, the access point
supports up to 195-Mbps by default with standard guard-interval and supports up to
216.7-Mbps with short guard-interval.
•
In-band spectrum monitoring and network spectrum mitigation—The access point
supplies in-band RF-detect functionality to include spectrum analysis to detect and
classify the non-IEEE 802.11 sources of interference.
•
Rate adaptation feature with 3 spatial stream (SS) rates, 2 spatial stream rates and
1 spatial stream rates—The access point supports 3 SS, 2 SS and 1 SS rates and provides
and full support for rate adaptation with 3 SS clients.
Physical Characteristics of the Access Point
Physical characteristics of the access point include:
•
One 2.4GHz radio—One 2.4-GHz IEEE 802.11ng radio that supports 3x3 spatial streams
and is backward compatible with 2 SS and 1 SS radios.
•
One 5GHz radio—One 5-GHz IEEE 802.11na radio that supports 3x3 spatial streams
and is backward compatible with 2 SS and 1 SS radios.
•
One 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet port—One 10/100/1000BASET auto-sensing
Gigabit Ethernet port with an RJ45 connector to connect the access point to a wireless
LAN controller or switch.
•
Power over Ethernet (PoE) on the Gigabit Ethernet port—Power consumption within
IEEE standard 802.3af power on the Gigabit Ethernet port. This feature reduces power
consumption.
Software and Hardware Used with the Access Point
Use the following software (from Juniper Networks) to configure and operate the access
point:
•
RingMaster GUI—RingMaster to configure and monitor the access point
•
Mobility System Software (MSS) CLI—MSS to configure the access point.
