Introduction to Wireless Networking
1-4 Avaya Wireless AP-3 User’s Guide
Once initialized, the network administrator can configure each unit
according to the network’s requirements. The AP functions as a wireless
network access point to data networks. An AP network provides:
• Seamless client roaming
• Easy installation and operation
• Over-the-air encryption of data
• High speed network links
To be fully operational, the AP-3 needs at least one wireless card
installed.
Guidelines for Roaming
Wireless Standard Support
An AP can only communicate with client devices that support its wireless
standard. For example, an 802.11a client cannot communicate with an
802.11b AP and an 802.11b client cannot communicate with an 802.11a
AP. However, both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with
an 802.11b/g AP.
