1.3 About The 9150

The 9150 Wireless Gateway is designed to support a wide variety of system config-
urations. Using the IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN Standard, the 9150 is capable of
operating as a transparent bridge (access point) between wireless and wired networks.
This allows wireless clients to access the network and also move seamlessly between
the 9150s in the network. The 9150 can also operate as a Teklogix base station or a
mini-controller.
The 9150 supports Type II PCMCIA cards so that multiple radio interfaces are pos-
sible. The 9150 also has dual-radio functionality. It can support several combina-
tions of radio types to function as both a mini-controller and base station, access
point and base station, or access point and mini-controller. For details, see "Radio
Options" on page 7.
The 9150 Flash memory holds the boot code, configuration parameters and firm-
ware. The 9150 Configuration program allows various parameter settings to be
changed, added or deleted. The Flash can be reconfigured remotely via the network
using a standard HTML Web Browser such as Netscape or MS Internet Explorer
(for instructions, see Chapter 3: "9150 Main Configuration").
