Wireless networking

Wireless communications provide the ability to connect client computers to the Magnia
SG20 and the network to the Internet without using cables.
The Magnia SG20 can be purchased with a built-in wireless capability, so that the server
acts as the wireless access point for your wireless network. If the Magnia SG20 contains
the wireless access point option, simply configure it for use (see "Configuring Wireless
Access" in Chapter 1). Make sure clients systems that are to be part of the wireless
network have a wireless 802.11b PC Card or PCI card installed.

Physical considerations

Locate your Magnia SG20 in a safe place, away from work and recreation areas.
