1. Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the RangeLAN2 7510 or the RangeLAN2 752x
Access Point, members of the RangeLAN2 family. As with all members of the
RangeLAN2 family, RangeLAN2 Access Point is a long range, high performance LAN
product that allows networked computers to communicate wirelessly.
RangeLAN2 Access Point was designed to be a "plug-and-play" product. In many
cases, you will not even need to run any software to configure it. If you need to use it,
you will find it easy to use. In no time, you will have a wireless connection to your
network's application software, printing, e-mail, and other network services!
This wireless access point allows for easy expandability of your wireless network,
increasing range and facilitating mobility applications. It operates at the Data Link level
(layer 2) of the OSI model, providing protocol-independent access for RangeLAN2
computer users into an existing wired Ethernet LAN.
