CHAPTER 1: Introduction
The Single-Port Station Adapter contains an embedded SNMP agent enabling
effective management. Software upgrades are downloaded by TFTP via the
Ethernet port or via the Wireless LAN and Access Point.
Network connection is maintained while roaming between overlapping coverage
areas. Transmission and reception can be continued while moving at high speed
with no data-packet loss or duplication.
The Single-Port Station Adapter is available in two models:
• With two integrated 2-dBi omnidirectional antennas (LW0051A).
• For use with external antennas (LW0056A or LW0061A-CAN).

The Four-Port Station Adapter is a wireless LAN adapter that connects a
workgroup of up to four Ethernet-equipped workstations to the wireless LAN. The
Four-Port Station Adapter is transparent to the workgroup devices’ hardware and
software, allowing plug-and-play installation.
The Four-Port Station Adapter enables connected workstations to communicate
with other wireless stations in the same cell coverage area, and to access all network
resources—such as file servers, wired stations, printers, and shared databases—via
the Access Point. The Four-Port Station Adapter also allows highly efficient and fast
wired communication among the four connected workstations.
Workstations that can be connected to the wireless LAN include PCs, X-Terminals,
and any other device that supports Ethernet. The unit is transparent to the
workgroup devices’ hardware, software, and network operating system.
The Four-Port Station Adapter contains an embedded SNMP agent and software
downloading capabilities which allow it to be effectively managed. Software
upgrades are downloaded by TFTP protocol via the Ethernet ports or via the
Wireless LAN and Access Point.
