Wireless Network Topologies

The Skyline Access Point is used to extend the capability of an existing Ethernet or
wired network to devices on the 802.11a wireless network. The 802.11a devices can
connect to a single Access Point, or several Access Points can be configured to form a
single network over a large area, allowing wireless clients to roam from one Access
Point to another.

Connecting to a Single AP

Mobile clients equipped with 802.11a wireless adapters are configured to operate in
Infrastructure mode and have the same SSID and security settings as the Access Point
in use on the Ethernet network.
