This guide will assist you with the use, installation, and configuration of the WMC6300 and the WMC7300 Wireless Modem Card (WMC). Due to the physical similarities of the two WMC cards, many of the explanations and procedures described in this manual apply to both cards except where expressly noted.
In addition, a section describing the MeshTray application, which is used for direct user interface with the Wireless Modem Card, is also included.
General System Requirements
