11b/g Wireless Long Range Multi-function 7+1 AP

Version 1.2

1.4 System Requirements

The following are the minimum system requirements in order configure the device.

￿PC/AT compatible computer with an Ethernet interface.

￿Operating system that supports HTTP web-browser

1.5Applications

The wireless LAN products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list describes some of the many applications made possible through the power and flexibility of wireless LANs:

a)Difficult-to-wire environments

There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. Historic buildings, older buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the installation of LANs either impossible or very expensive.

b)Temporary workgroups

Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster- recovery, temporary offices and construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN established and removed.

c)The ability to access real-time information

Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can access real-time information while dealing with patients, serving customers and processing information.

d)Frequently changed environments

Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where frequently rearrange the workplace.

e)Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) networks

SOHO users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small network.

f)Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks

Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead caused by moves, extensions to networks, and other changes with wireless LANs.

g)Wired LAN backup

Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for mission- critical applications running on wired networks.

h)Training/Educational facilities

Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless connectivity to ease access to information, information exchanges, and learning.

1.6 Network Configuration

To better understand how the wireless LAN products work together to create a wireless network, it might be helpful to depict a few of the possible wireless LAN PC card network configurations. The wireless LAN products can be configured as:

a) Ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) for departmental or SOHO LANs.
