Welcome 
This User’s Manual contains information on how to install and configure your Wireless LAN Access 
Point. 
A network is more than one computer that are connected together such that sharing of resources, files 
and peripheral devices, such as printers, is made easy. A local area network (LAN) is a network that 
connectivity is accessible only within a relatively limited area. Wireless LAN is a local area network 
that connections among computing devices are realized via radio technology. 
A wireless LAN allows you to communicate with other computers without having the trouble running 
cables or wires used in traditional networking. Moreover, by ways of the Wireless LAN Access Point, 
computers equipped with wireless LAN cards (wireless clients) can share resources with computers on 
existing wired LAN, forming an infrastructure wireless network. 
The Access Points are capable of being used in a wide variety of applications, and offer the following 
functions: 
•  Stand-alone wireless Intranet: a relay station that increases communication ranges among 
wireless clients. 
•  Bridge to Ethernet: Establishing communication capability between Wireless and Ethernet 
Interfaces to establish an Intranet.
