 Introduction 
FX-DS110-APL 
1 
1. Introduction 
Thank you for purchasing the FX-DS110-APL access point. 
This product is a wireless LAN access point using the 2.4GHz 
spectrum diffusion system, and is compatible with IEEE Standard 
802.11b for wireless LAN.   
The FX-DS110-APL is designed for use as an access point as well 
as a station (Ethernet 
⇔
  wireless converter). It is independent of 
operating systems or protocols, so that it can be connected by UTP 
cable to any Ethernet-compatible desktop computer, workstation, 
point-of-sale terminal, printer, etc. for immediate wireless LAN use.   
This product can also enable wireless communications from any PC 
previously unsuitable for wireless communications due to lack of a 
PC card slot or expansion bus slot.   
Of course the FX-DS110-APL also operates as an access point, 
allowing the user to configure a small wireless LAN system using 
the product by itself.   
This document explains how to use the FX-DS110-APL. Be sure to 
read it carefully so that you can use the product correctly.
