version 1.12 or greater.
Norand Corporation is now part of Intermec Technologies
Corporation. As part of our continuing efforts to offer the
broadest range of system solutions in the industry, the 6710
Access Point and other open wireless local area network
(LAN) components have been merged into the INTERMEC
Integrated Network Communications Architecture (INCA).
Where appropriate, we have continued to use the Norand
name in references to the open wireless LAN to maintain
continuity with existing product in the field.

This section describes the 6710 Access Point and how it
operates on the open wireless LAN. This section also
describes access point components.
Description
The 6710 Access Point provides transparent, wireless
communications between a wired Ethernet LAN and
wireless stations. Figure 2-1 shows current designs;
information in this user’s guide applies to both designs.

SECTION 2 " Features and Functional Overview
The access point functions as a 4-port translating bridge.
Functionality within the access point can be partitioned
into two major functional blocks: bridging functionality
and management functionality. Bridging functions pertain
to the forwarding of data through the access point.
Management functionality involves configuration, software
upgrade, and network management.
Figure 2-2 is a simplified diagram showing the functions
within the access point.

General Concepts
Bridges are common components in wired LANs. Bridges
are devices that join two or more LAN segments. This
provides the appearance of a single LAN segment to the
protocols and applications that operate within the LAN.
