Page 5: Introduction
Introduction The Product The product is based on the IEEE 802.11g standard, which is the latest 54Mbps Wireless LAN (WLAN) standard. This standard is five times faster than the widely deployed WiFi (802.11b) products that are found in homes, airport and public wireless hotspots. Because 802.11g uses the same 2.4GHz frequency band, the product is fully interoperable with existing WiFi cards and devices. -
Page 6: Basic Ip Networking
Basic IP Networking IP = Internet Protocol IP stands for Internet Protocol. In an IP network, every device has a unique IP Address (For example: 192.168.1.35) to identify itself. There are two ways of assigning an IP address to a PC or Router: Static and Automatic (DHCP). -
Page 7: Wireless Lan Basics
Wireless LAN Basics A Wireless LAN (WLAN) is a computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of using cables. WLANs have become common in homes, offices, airports and public Hotspots. WLAN can support the same applications and software that run on a wired network (LAN). - Page 8 Make sure that the WLAN signals do not have to pass through too many concrete walls and metal structures to reach the client. Make sure that APs are located far away from one another to avoid interference. Interference Interference happens when 2 APs with the same channels are placed near to one another. The speed of the network drops and the signal strength fluctuates wildly.
