Figure 1-2 LDEs
LED Activity	What that means
LEDs are flashing alternatively	The WCB-G03H is searching for a wireless
	network connection.
LEDs are flashing in unison	The WCB-G03H has made a valid wireless
	network connection, and there is activity on the
	link.
LEDs are flashing in unison, but dimly	The WCB-G03H has made a valid wireless
	network connection, but there is no activity on the
	link. This could be caused by an Access Point
	that is functioning, but not connected to the wired
	network.

2 Wireless Basics

Wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home or business. Strictly adhering to the 802.11b and 802.11g standards, our wireless family of products will allow you to access the data you want, when and where you want it. No longer will you be limited to one location or forced to run new wiring through your home or office. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.

A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. Wireless LANs are used increasingly in both home and office environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate more efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure have proven to be beneficial for many users.

Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems, support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.

Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to use servers, printers or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Access Point (AP) is a device used to provide this link.
