1.2.1 Single or Dual Mode Radio Options
One or two possible configurations are available on the access point depending on which model is
purchased. If the access point is manufactured as a single radio access point, the access point
enables you to configure the single radio for either 802.11a or 802.11b/g.
If the access point is manufactured as a dual-radio access point, the access point enables you to
configure one radio for 802.11a, and the other 802.11b/g.
For detailed information on configuring your access point, see
Configuration on page
5-44.
1.2.2 Separate LAN and WAN Ports
The access point has one LAN port and one WAN port, each with their own MAC address. The access
point must manage all data traffic over the LAN connection carefully as either a DHCP client, BOOTP
client, DHCP server or using a static IP address. The access point can only use a Power-over-Ethernet
device when connected to the LAN port.
For detailed information on configuring the access point LAN port, see
on page
5-1.
A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a widely dispersed telecommunications network. In a corporate
environment, the WAN port might connect to a larger corporate network. For a small business, the
WAN port might connect to a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet. Regardless, network
address information must be configured for the access point's intended mode of operation.
For detailed information on configuring the access point's WAN port, see
on page
5-14.
The LAN and WAN port MAC addresses can be located within the LAN and WAN Stats screens.
For detailed information on locating the access point MAC addresses, see

1.2.3 Multiple Mounting Options
The access point rests on a flat surface, attaches to a wall, mounts under a ceiling or above a ceiling
(attic). Choose a mounting option based on the physical environment of the coverage area. Do not
mount the access point in a location that has not been approved in an access point radio coverage
site survey.
