2 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing your 11Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point. This manual will assist you with the installation procedure
for PCMCIA 11Mbps PC Card models

The package you have received should contain the following items:

• User manual

• 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 Access Point can be connected to a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network through a RJ45 (UTP) connector.
