Chapter 2 Start to Configuration
The manual deals only and specifically with the single WH-5000A device as a unit. The purpose of this
chapter is the description of the device and its identifiable parts so that the user is sufficiently familiar to
interact with the physical unit. Preliminary setup information provided below is intended for information and
instruction of the wireless LAN system administration personnel.
It is intended, and is the philosophy of the manufacturer, that the user not be required to open the individual
unit. Any maintenance required is limited to the external enclosure surface, cable connections and to the
management software only. A failed unit should be returned to the manufacturer for maintenance.
