HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

The Wireless Ethernet Bridge supports 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbps half-duplex connections to Ethernet networks. This device is fully compliant with 2.4 GHz DSSS/OFDM wireless networking as defined in IEEE 802.11b/g. The Wireless Ethernet Bridge is backward compatible with the existing 802.11b WLAN infrastructure. It also can be connected via an RJ-45 connection to devices such as Nintendo GameCube, Microsoft Xbox, Sony PlayStation II, and Ethernet ready embedded devices. It functions as an IEEE 802.11g Access Point or as a Repeater (see “Introduction” on page 1).
