  • Page 38: Cellular Coverage

    2.4 to 2.5-GHz frequency range (802.11b/g radio) or the 5.2 GHz frequency range (802.11a radio), the actual range is country-dependent. Symbol devices, like other Ethernet devices, have unique, hardware encoded Media Access Control (MAC) or IEEE addresses.

  • Page 39: Mac Layer Bridging

    1-21 Introduction access points with the same ESSID defines a coverage area. A valid ESSID is an alphanumeric, case- sensitive identifier up to 32 characters. An MU searches for an access point with a matching ESSID and synchronizes (associates) to establish communications. This device association allows MUs within the coverage area to move about or roam.

  • Page 40: Media Types

    Spread spectrum (broadband) uses a narrowband signal to spread the transmission over a segment of the radio frequency band or spectrum. Direct-sequence is a spread spectrum technique where the transmitted signal is spread over a particular frequency range. The Symbol access point uses Direct- Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) for radio communication.

  • Page 41: Mu Association Process

    1-23 Introduction The ratio of chips per bit is called the spreading ratio. A high spreading ratio increases the resistance of the signal to interference. A low spreading ratio increases the bandwidth available to the user. The access point uses different modulation schemes to encode more bits per chip at higher data rates. The access point is capable of a maximum 54Mbps data transmission rate (802.11a radio), but the coverage area is less than that of access point operating at lower data rates since coverage area decreases as bandwidth increases.

  • Page 42: Operating Modes

    • Access Point - As an Access Point, the access point functions as a layer 2 bridge (similar to Symbol’s existing AP-4131 access point). The wired uplink can operate as a trunk and support multiple VLANs. Up to 16 WLANs can be defined and mapped to access point WLANs.
