Introduction
The Cisco WAP4410N access point allows for greater range and mobility within
your wireless network while also allowing you to connect the wireless network to
a wired environment. It also supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) feature to
help you simplify the setting up of security on a wireless network. The Cisco
WAP4410N offers the convenience of Power over Ethernet (PoE), in addition to
regular 12VDC power adaptor, so it can receive data and power over a single
Ethernet network cable.
The Cisco WAP4410N supports the 802.11n Draft 2.0 Specification by IEEE. It also
supports 802.11g and 802.11b clients in a mixed environment. In addition, this
access point provides longer coverage by using multiple antennas to transmit and
receive data streams in different directions.
Use the instructions in this guide to help you connect the access point, set it up,
and configure it to bridge your different networks. These instructions should be all
you need to get the most out of the access point.
Audience
The audience for this document includes wireless network users, administrators,
and managers.

Planning Your Wireless Network
Network Topology
A wireless network is a group of computers, each equipped with one or more
wireless adapters. Computers in a wireless network must be configured to share
the same radio channel to talk to each other. Several computers equipped with
wireless cards or adapters can communicate with each other to form an ad-hoc
network without the use of an access point.
Cisco also provides products to allow wireless adaptors to access wired network
through a bridge such as the wireless access point, or wireless router. An
integrated wireless and wired network is called an infrastructure network. Each
wireless computer in an infrastructure network can talk to any computer in a wired
or wireless network via the access point or wireless router.
An infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of a wireless computer to
a wired network, and may double the effective wireless transmission range for
two wireless adapter computers. Since an access point is able to forward data
within a network, the effective transmission range in an infrastructure network may
be more than doubled since access point can transmit signal at higher power to
the wireless space.
Roaming
Infrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities for mobile users. Roaming
means that you can move your wireless computer within your network and the
access points will pick up the wireless computer’s signal, providing that they both
share the same wireless network (SSID) and wireless security settings.
Before you consider roaming, choose a feasible radio channel and optimum
access point position. Proper access point positioning combined with a clear
radio signal will greatly enhance performance.

Network Layout
The Wireless-N Access Point has been designed for use with 802.11n, 802.11g
and 802.11b products. The access point is compatible with 802.11n, 802.11g and
802.11b adapters, such as the notebook adapters for your laptop computers, PCI
adapters for your desktop PCs, and USB adapters for all PCs when you want to
enjoy wireless connectivity. These wireless products can also communicate with a
802.11n, 802.11g or 802.11b wireless print server (if available).
To link your wired network with your wireless network, connect the access point’s
Ethernet network port to any switch or router that uses Power over Ethernet (PoE).
It can also connect to a non-PoE switch or router by using the access point’s
power adaptor.
With these, and many other, Cisco products, your networking options are limitless.

Example of a Simple Wireless Network
The diagram below shows a typical infrastructure wireless network setup.
In this illustration, the switch connects to a router that connects to the Internet. The
network provides connectivity among wireless network devices and computers
that have a wired connection to the switch. The wireless access points connect to
a Cisco switch that provides them with power. Each access point connects
multiple wireless devices to the network.
