Chapter 1: Introduction
The Cradle Access Point is an IEEE 802.11b/g (Wi-Fi) access point that provides a
quality wireless Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service for Wi-Fi phones, and
high-speed data communications between a wired LAN and other 802.11b/g mobile
devices. The access point also includes a cradle for charging a Wi-Fi phone.
The access point software provides two “virtual” wireless interfaces that separate
the Wi-Fi Phone traffic from the regular data traffic. Quality of Service (QoS) features
ensure sustained high throughput for the voice traffic and channel hopping avoids
radio interference, which helps maintain high-quality voice communications.
The data wireless interface provides gateway functions, such as a DHCP server and
Network Address Translation (NAT), that route data from wireless clients to the wired
network.
In addition, the access point offers full network management capabilities through an
easy-to-use web interface.
