The WA22 is intended to be powered only from an Ethernet host that complies
with the IEEE 802.3af specification for power over Ethernet (POE).
Le WA22 est conçu pour être alimenté à partir d’un hôte Ethernet qui est
conforme à la spécification IEEE 802.3af pour l’alimentation par Ethernet (POE, de
l’anglais Power Over Ethernet).
Specifications
About the WA22
Intermec’s MobileLAN™access family of access points delivers reliable and seamless wireless
performance to almost any operational environment. The MobileLAN access WA22 is
powered by power over Ethernet to make installation easier. It is designed for standardsbased connectivity and it may have up to two of the following radios installed:
• IEEE 802.11a
• IEEE 802.11b
• IEEE 802.11b/g
The WA22 with an IEEE 802.11b radio installed is Wi-Fi certified for
™
interoperability with other 802.11b wireless LAN devices.
This quick start guide helps you to understand the WA22 ports and LEDs. You can also use
this quick start guide to get an overview of how to install the WA22, how to connect the
WA22 to power and to your network, and how to use the MobileLAN access Utility to
configure its IP address. Once you assign the WA22 an IP address, you can continue
configuring it using a web browser interface or a telnet session.
