When the AP receives a network configuration change or is not able to renew the IP address lease the AP sends out an SNMP trap if SNMP is configured.

1.3.4Media Types

The AP supports bridging between Ethernet and radio media.

The Ethernet interface fully complies with Ethernet Rev. 2 and IEEE 802.3 specifications. The 4131 AP supports a 10/100Base-T wired connection. The data transfer rate is 11 Mbps.

The radio interface conforms to IEEE 802.11 specifications. The interface operates at 11 Mbps using direct-sequence radio technology. The AP supports multiple-cell operations with fast roaming between cells. With the direct-sequence system, each cell operates independently. Each cell provides an 11 Mbps bandwidth. Adding cells to the network provides increased coverage area and total system capacity. The AP supports MUs operating in Power Save Polling (PSP) mode or Continuously Aware Mode (CAM) without user intervention.
