Introduction

This manual supplement explains the set up and operation of the Wireless

Edge Services xl Module and the Redundant Wireless Services xl Module as a

part of a 5300xl switch. It describes the 5300xl switch features and capabilities

that provide the support required for the Module’s operation. Read this

supplement for information on what is required to set up the Module and the

switch to provide IEEE 802.11 wireless services in your network.

The ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module (J9001A) enables a ProCurve

Switch 5300xl to operate with ProCurve Radio Ports as a centrally-adminis-

tered wireless LAN system. The resulting wireless services-enabled switch

manages ProCurve Radio Ports to deliver IEEE 802.11 wireless network

access to stations. With the addition of a Wireless Edge Services xl Module,

every wired port in a 5300 xl switch is able to support wireless radio port or

wired user traffic.
