Appendix C
z 802.11g provides a high data rate and is backwards compatible with
802.11b.
802.11g operation uses ODFM and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). It
operates in the 2.4 Ghz Industrial/Scientific/Medical (ISM) band. The ISM band
is available worldwide for unlicensed use. Data is transmitted at speeds of up
to 54 Mbps.
Power Over Ethernet
The OmniAccess OAW-AP70 supports the IEEE 802.3af standard for Power
Over Ethernet (POE). With this feature, the OmniAccess OAW-AP70 can
accept electrical power from a compatible POE-capable device (such as the
Alcatel 6000 (with Line Card OAW-LC-2G24FP), Alcatel 2400, or Alcatel 800)
directly over the FE cable. POE eliminates the need to provide separate power
outlets in environments that are difficult or undesirable to wire for electricity.
The OmniAccess OAW-AP70 also supports “inline” and “midspan” POE
devices for normal operation. Inline power is POE that is integrated into FE
ports and provides POE directly to devices. Non-POE ports can have POE
added by means of a mid-span device that provides POE. The non-POE port is
connected to a mid-span POE port, and this mid-span port is connected to the
device that requires POE.
