A.2 Real‐World Configurations

The following sections show the EOA7530 in various configurations.

A.2.1 Sample Access Point Application

The following figure shows an example of the EOA7530 in an Access Point configuration, where the two EOA7530 radios operate concurrently to provide Internet access to a variety of devices.

In this configuration, one EOA7530 radio conducts 802.11b/g communications with the following devices wirelessly:

An EnGenius EUB‐9706 Wireless N Adapter connected to a laptop computer

An EnGenius High Power 1T1R USB Adapter connected to a different laptop computer

An EnGenius E0C2611P 802.11g Outdoor Client Bridge/Access Point configured for client bridge mode. The E0C2611P is connected to a switch that provides wired connectivity to a desktop PC, printer, and data server, and Access Point, and wireless connectivity to a laptop.

The other EOA7530 radio conducts 802.11a communications with a switch connected to the Internet. This Internet connectivity passes from the EOA7530’s internal 802.11a radio to its internal 802.11b/g radio and the on to the 802/11b/g devices.
