Introduction
This Chapter provides an overview of the Wireless Access Point's features
and capabilities.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wireless Access Point. The Wireless Access
Point links your Wireless Stations to your wired LAN. With the Wireless Access Point, you
can select either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radio bands, which provides the flexibility to manage a
graceful transition from networks. The Wireless stations and devices on the wired LAN are
then on the same network, and can communicate with each other without regard for whether
they are connected to the network via a Wireless or wired connection.

Features of your Wireless Access Point
The Wireless Access Point incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide
sophisticated functions while being easy to use.

Standards Compliant. The Wireless Access Point complies with the IEEE802.11g and
IEEE802.11n draft 2.0 specifications for Wireless LANs.

Supports 11n Wireless Stations. The 802.11n Draft standard provides for backward
compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so 802.11n, 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g
Wireless stations can be used simultaneously. The Wireless Access Point supports both
the 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz (802.11a) bands.

DHCP Client Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP
address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Wireless Access Point can act as a
DHCP Client, and obtain an IP address and related information from your existing DHPC
Server.
