About FHP Wireless Networking
To better understand how an FHP wireless networking system works, it is helpful to compare it to
more common 802.11b systems. Typical 802.11b access points must be "hardwired" to your internal
network. To install a typical access point, you connect the Ethernet port on the access point to a hub
or switch port on your internal network. Each access point acts as an extension to your wired
network by serving as a bridge, connecting clients to your internal network. Figure 1 is an example
of a standard access point network.

The FHP SmartPoint and RoutePoint wireless routers function very differently than traditional,
wired-access points. For example, for a small or large FHP network installation only a small number
of SmartPoint and RoutePoint wireless routers need to be hardwired to your internal network. In fact,
only one RoutePoint device needs to be connected to your internal network to provide connectivity

The FHP SmartPoint and RoutePoint wireless routers must be installed by a trained
professional, value added reseller, or systems integrator who is familiar with RF cell planning
issues and the regulatory limits defined by the FCC for RF exposure, specifically those limits
outlined in sections 1.1307.
