1 INTRODUCTION
Wireless LAN is local area networking without wires, which uses radio frequencies to transmit and receive data
between PC’s or other network devices without wires or cables. Wireless LAN configurations include independent
networks, suitable for small or temporary peer-to-peer configurations, and infrastructure networks, offering fully
distributed data connectivity via micro cells and roaming.
The Access Point is designed to meet the mobility, performance, security, interoperability, management, reliability
requirements of IEEE 802.11b high data rate standard and IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 10 Base-T standard. When
installed, Access Point can communicate with other IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.3 compatible products to create
a wireless network in your office or home.
