2 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing your WX-1500 / 1520 Wireless LAN Access Point. This manual will assist you with the installation
procedure.

The package you have received should contain the following items:

 User manual
 WX-1500 / 1520 Access Point
 Power adapter
 Diskette containing APManager Software

Note: if anything is missing, please contact your vendor

A wireless LAN is normally used in a predefined environment. In such a network, Access Points are mounted at assigned
places, each covering its own area in which wireless nodes can operate. These Access Points are connected to a wired network
to communicate with each other and with servers and clients on that network.

The WX-1500SB Access Point can be connected to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network through a RJ45 (UTP) connector.
