Chapter 1 Introduction

Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Formosa's KWO5000 Access Point (hereafter called
access point). This Access Point provides a secure, affordable, and easy-to-use
wireless LAN solution that combines mobility and flexibility with the enterprise-class
features required by networking professionals.

Overview

802.11a/b/g-compliant, this access point distinguishes herself by one built-in
mini-PCI card, providing wired and wireless two ports in a bigger infrastructure.
Typically, VAP functionality allows a single network AP to behave as "8" number of
virtual network APs. This does away with the limitation by the sheer number of
Ethernet connections that need APs acting as a proxy. WMM prioritizes traffic
demands from different applications and extends Wi-Fi's high quality end-user
experience from data connectivity to voice, music, and video applications under a
wide variety of environment.
This Access points serves as the connection point between wireless and wired
networks or as the center point of a stand-alone wireless network. In large
installations, wireless users within radio range of an access point can roam throughout
a facility while maintaining seamless, uninterrupted access to the network.
You can configure and monitor the access point using the command-line interface
(CLI), the browser-based management system, or Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP).
This Access Point currently can support data rate up to 108Mbps. Users are
encouraged to update their latest firmware through http://www.tw-wireless.com
Networks are useful tools for sharing computer resources. You can access one printer
from different computers and access data located on another computer's hard drive.
Networks are even used for playing multiplayer video games. So, networks are not
only useful in homes and offices, they can also be fun. Use the instructions in this
Guide to help you connect the Access Point, set it up, and configure it to bridge your
different networks. These instructions should be all you need to get the most out of
the Access point.
