8 Deploying the M220
In the following scenario, M220 #1 provides wireless network services to the employees in the
main office, while M220 #2 and M220 #3 use the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) to
create a wireless link between the main office network and a small network in a warehouse.
WDS eliminates the need to run cabling, allowing for fast and easy deployment.
In the following scenario, three M220s provide distinct employee groups access to the Internet
through a router on the network. The M220s are joined in a cluster, which enables them to
share a single configuration and to be administered as a single unit. Channel planning may be
implemented on the cluster to reduce interference and optimize wireless bandwidth usage.
