communicate with the wireless LAN and gain access to all of the network resources
such as file servers, printers and shared databases.

1. Install the Access Point (refer to Chapter 2). Be sure to position the Access

(beacon frames) whether they are connected to an Ethernet backbone or
not.
2. Install a Station Adapter (refer to Chapter 2) or PCMCIA PC Card (refer to
Chapter 4 for installation instructions).
