Introduction
1.1 Overview
Thank you for choosing this 54Mbps Wireless Access Point. The
Access Point is a transparent bridge device which provides mobile
wireless clients the connectivity to a wired network. This enables
the wireless clients to access all available resources and
peripherals on the wired network. In addition, multiple Access
Points can be installed to extend the wireless service coverage
area for seamless wireless access.
With the support of new emerged 802.11g draft standard, the
Access Point provides data transfer of up to 54 Mbps, up to 5 times
faster than 802.11b. Since 802.11g operates on the same
frequency of 2.4 GHz as 802.11b, it is backwards compatible with
existing Wi-Fi 802.11b devices. The benefit is that you can
preserve the existing 802.11b infrastructure while migrating to the
new screaming fast 802.11g.
In addition, this Access Point has an integrated DHCP server which
automatically assigns IP addresses to your wireless devices. The
AP also implements a built-in Web server for easy configuration.
