WF-2571 Ethernet to Wi-Fi Bridge User’s Manual (Ver. 1.1, Oct 2013) ------------- 4
1. Introduction
The WF-2571 is an Industrial Ethernet to Wi-Fi Bridge that creates a
connection between an 802.11b/g wireless LAN and a device with a
standard Ethernet port. The Bridge transparently conveys data between
devices with a 10/100 Ethernet interface and a wireless LAN without
drivers or complicated addressing schemes. This significantly reduces the
complexity of network connectivity and wireless system deployment and
also provides wireless LAN and Internet connectivity to industrial, scientific
and automotive applications.
