Infrastructure

Many companies have an existing Ethernet or wired LAN infrastructure and want to be
able to extend that capability to wireless nodes. This is accomplished by installing
one or more Harmony 802.11a Access Points on the Ethernet network. You can also
add a Harmony Access Point Controller to the network to simplify Access Point
management and take advantage of additional features. See the

Harmony Access

Point Controller User’s Guide for more information.

Connecting to a Single AP

Figure 2 depicts a Harmony network that uses a single Access Point (AP) in
Independent mode (without a Harmony Access Point Controller). See the

Harmony

802.11a Access Point User’s Guide for more information on Independent mode.
