Page 4: Overview
Wireless Networking System, which provides miscellaneous WAN access. Wireless Networking System P380 is part of the Wireless Internet Service Provision System. It provides access for locally connected computers to WAN, such as the Internet. In Figure 1 shown below, P380 client devices are connected to P380 access points (please refer to P380 specification). -
Page 5: Features
P380 Users guide Features P380 is based on indoor architecture. An indoor unit with 2.4 GHz antennas is placed on the mast or the ceiling of the construction elements. It is connected to a UTP cable. An individual computer or an entire local network can gain access to the Internet by simply connecting the P380 indoor unit to the switch/hub. -
