Access Points

Access Points contain radio devices that communicate with the Meru Controller and
form the wireless LAN (WLAN). The Meru Cont roller and Access Points connect to the
site's wired LAN through wired switches. Wireless clients associate with the Access
Points as they roam throughout the WLAN. As such, they are an extension of the wired
LAN, providing the wireless benefits of client mobility, enhanced access, and
dynamic network configuration.
