Introduction 3.1 The 3-Mbps Wireless Ethernet Product LineThe LW001A and LW007A function exactly the same way, but the LW001A has permanently attached antennas, and the LW007A has detachable antennas. A third Hub, LW005A which is covered in a separate manual, has the same hardware as the LW007A, but different software. It works with portable computers equipped with the PCMCIA Wireless Adapter LW006A to connect to wired Ethernet LANs Figure 3-1.
