Introduction
The OmniAccess AP60/61 (also known as the AP 60/61) is part of
a comprehensive wireless network solution. The device works in
conjunction with the OmniAccess Wireless LAN Switch and can
act as a wireless access point or air monitor.
As a wireless Access Point (AP), the OmniAccess AP60/61
provides transparent, secure, high-speed data communications
between wireless network devices (fixed, portable, or mobile
computers with IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11b/g wireless
adapters) and the wired LAN.
As a wireless Air Monitor (AM), a feature unique to Alcatel
products, the OmniAccess AP60/61 enhances wireless networks
by collecting statistics, monitoring traffic, detecting intrusions,
enforcing security policies, balancing wireless traffic load,
self-healing coverage gaps, and more.
N
—Installing the OmniAccess 60/61 requires setting the
OTE
antenna power, which requires professional training. The Omni-
Access 60/61 installer must be trained to perform this configu-
ration.
