Typhoon Speednet Wireless Access Point

Nodes with a Cirrus wireless adapter installed can be switched from Wi-Fi to Multimedia mode (and vice versa) using the device manager software. As the Access Point (AP) does not have a user interface that can be used to switch between multimedia and Wi-Fi, it employs a manual mode switch. This switch can be found on the AP and is labeled accordingly.

Depending on the configuration of your evaluation kit you may have received one of three Access Points (AP). All APs offer similar functionality but vary in appearance. The below installation instructions apply to all available APs.
