Using the Configuration Guide
The configuration guide in Table 4-1 summarizes the
necessary steps to set up an open wireless LAN. The
left-hand column provides basic setup information for a
simple network using 6710 Access Points on a single
Ethernet segment. This type of network may contain
bridges or hubs, but may not contain OWL/IP links through
routers, secondary LANs, or wireless access points. The
right-hand column provides additional steps for more
complex networks that include these additional
components.
