Introduction
Congratulations on choosing one of NDC s InstantWave High Speed wireless
networking product s family. InstantWave High Speed was one of the first IEEE
802.11b wireless standard compliant products in the industry and was designed
with a “
Maximizing the Convenience of Networking
” philosophy in mind. You
will find InstantWave High Speed products very easy to setup and use.
The User’s Guide gives comprehensive instructions on installing and using the
InstantWave High Speed Access Point (AP). The AP provides a transparent
bridged connection between a wired network and a wireless network and allows
your wireless stations to communicate with devices attached to your wired network.
It manages the flow of data packets from the wired LAN to the wireless LAN, and
vice versa. The Access Point Management System (APMS) performs wireless
network configuration management and diagnostic functions.
