Introduction

This Chapter provides an overview of the Wireless Access Point's features

and capabilities.

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wireless Access Point. The Wireless Access

Point links your Wireless Stations to your wired LAN. The Wireless stations and devices on

the wired LAN are then on the same network, and can communicate with each other without

regard for whether they are connected to the network via a Wireless or wired connection.

Features of your Wireless Access Point

The Wireless Access Point incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide

sophisticated functions while being easy to use.

x

Standards Compliant. The Wireless Access Point complies with the IEEE802.11g and

IEEE802.11n draft 2.0 specifications for Wireless LANs.

x

Supports 11n Wireless Stations. The 802.11n Draft standard provides for backward

compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so 802.11n, 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless sta-

tions can be used simultaneously.

x

Bridge Mode Support. The Wireless Access Point can operate in Bridge Mode, con-

necting to another Access Point. Both PTP (Point to Point) and PTMP (Point to Multi-

Point) Bridge modes are supported.

And you can even use both Bridge Mode and Access Point Mode simultaneously!
