Note

If you purchased a 1130G access point, this quick start guide refers

occasionally to an 802.11a radio. However, your 1130G access point

does not contain an 802.11a radio; it only contains an 802.11b or

802.11g radio. Please disregard the sections in your quick start guide

that refer specifically to an 802.11a radio.

You should review this table and the instructions for opening the top cover.

The table contains important information you need to know so you can

successfully configure your access point.
