In computer networking, a wireless access point (WAP) (also just access point (AP)) is a networking hardware device that allows other Wi-Fi devices to connect to a wired network or wireless network. As a standalone device, the AP may have a wired or wireless connection to a switch or router , but in a wireless router it can also be an integral ...
Using this protocol a 1905.1 AP enrollee can retrieve configuration parameters (like SSID) from a 1905.1 AP registrar. Thus AP auto-configuration is used to simplify the setup of a home network consisting of multiple APs; eliminating the need for the user to manually configure each AP (only a single configuration, of the AP registrar, is required).
The Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) protocol is a standard, interoperable networking protocol that enables a central wireless LAN Access Controller (AC) to manage a collection of Wireless Termination Points (WTPs), more commonly known as wireless access points.
The operating parameters of the infrastructure BSS are defined by the AP. [3] The Wi‑Fi segments of common home and business networks are examples of this type. Each basic service set has a unique identifier, a BSSID, which is a 48-bit number that follows MAC address conventions. [ 4 ]
Wireless LAN (WLAN) channels are frequently accessed using IEEE 802.11 protocols. The 802.11 standard provides several radio frequency bands for use in Wi-Fi communications, each divided into a multitude of channels numbered at 5 MHz spacing (except in the 45/60 GHz band, where they are 0.54/1.08/2.16 GHz apart) between the centre frequency of the channel.
The STA (client) and the AP exchange information that includes an expected activity duration to allow the AP to control the amount of contention and overlap among competing STAs. The AP can protect the expected duration of activity with various protection mechanisms. The use of TWT is negotiated between an AP and an STA.

File types include the current configuration file, log files, etc. AddObject: Add new instance to an object DeleteObject: Remove instance from ...
The original PoE standard, IEEE 802.3af-2003, [1] now known as Type 1, provides up to 15.4 W of DC power (minimum 44 V DC and 350 mA) [2] [3] on each port. [4] Only 12.95 W is guaranteed to be available at the powered device as some power dissipates in the cable.
