CHAPTER 5: Planning and Installing Wireless LANs
The Workgroup Bridge (LW0053A) also enables connectivity between a wireless
LAN and individual workstations or workgroups located outside the LAN. The
Workgroup Bridge enables these wireless stations in its coverage area to
communicate with the wireless LAN and gain access to all of the network resources
such as file servers, printers and shared databases.

1. Install the Access Point (refer to
Chapter 2
). Be sure to position the Access
Point as high as possible.
NOTE
It is not necessary at this point to connect the Access Point to an
Ethernet backbone, since Access Points continuously transmit signals
(beacon frames) whether they are connected to an Ethernet backbone or
not.
2. Install a Station Adapter (refer to
Chapter 2
) or PCMCIA PC Card (refer to
Chapter 4
for installation instructions).
