Root Unit on a Wired LAN

An autonomous access point connected directly to a wired LAN provides a connection point for wireless
users. If more than one autonomous access point is connected to the LAN, users can roam from one area
of a facility to another without losing their connection to the network. As users move out of range of one
access point, they automatically connect to the network (associate) through another access point. The
roaming process is seamless and transparent to the user.
