WIRELESS ETHERNET 4-PORT WORKSTATION ADAPTER

(LW003A OR LW009A)

The Wireless Ethernet 4-Port Workstation Adapter (LW003A) is a wireless LAN adapter that connects a workgroup of up to four 10BASE-T Ethernet equipped workstations to the wireless LAN. Workstations that can be converted by the 4-Port Workstation Adapter into wireless LAN stations include PCs,

X-Terminals, Digital, SUN, HP, IBM and Apple computers. The Adapter is transparent to the workgroup computers’ hardware and software.

The LW003A and LW009A function exactly the same, but the LW003A has permanently attached antennas, and the LW009A has detachable antennas.

The 4-Port Workstation Adapter lets connected workstations communicate with other Wireless Ethernet stations in its coverage area, or via the Wireless Ethernet Hub (LW001A or LW007A) to all of the network resources such as file servers, printers and shared databases. The 4-Port Workstation Adapter also allows highly efficient and fast wired communication between the connected workstations.
