AirConnect Access Point

A wireless client communicating with an AP appears on the network as a peer to
other network devices, rendering the wireless interface transparent. The AP receives
data from its wired interfaces and forwards the data to the proper interface.
The AP has connections for wired networks, built-in antennas, and a power supply.
It attaches to a wall or ceiling, or can be placed on a flat surface, depending on
installation-site requirements. The AP uses a diversity antenna for radio transmission
and reception, allowing the AP to automatically select the strongest of the radio
signals picked up by the antenna.

PowerBASE-T
This device allows the AP to be powered through the Ethernet cable connecting
the AP to a LAN. The PowerBASE-T should be used when the AP is connected to
LAN and is mounted in a location where access to a standard electric outlet is
severely limited.
