Introduction
This Chapter provides an overview of the Wireless Access Point's features
and capabilities.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wireless Access Point. The Wireless Access
Point links your 802.11g or 802.11b Wireless Stations to your wired LAN. The Wireless
stations and devices on the wired LAN are then on the same network, and can communicate
with each other without regard for whether they are connected to the network via a Wireless or
wired connection.

The auto-sensing capability of the Wireless Access Point allows packet transmission up to
54Mbps for maximum throughput, or automatic speed reduction to lower speeds when the
environment does not permit maximum throughput.
Features of your Wireless Access Point
The Wireless Access Point incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide
sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
•
Standards Compliant.
The Wireless Router complies with the IEEE802.11g (DSSS)
specifications for Wireless LANs.
•
Supports both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations.
The 802.11g standard
provides for backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so both 802.11b and
802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously.
•
WEP support.
Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Both 64 Bit
and 128 Bit keys are supported.
