This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference, in which ca se th e user is r equired to cor rect th e int erfer ence at pe rson al
expense.

1.3 About The 9150
The 9150 Wireless Gatew ay is designed to support a wide variety of system con figurations. Using the IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN Sta ndard, the 9150 is capable of
operating as a transpa rent bridge (acc ess point) b etw ee n w ir el es s a nd wi re d n et wo rk s.
This allows wireless clients to access the network and also move seamlessly between
the 9150s in the network. The 9150 can also operate as a Teklogix base station, remote
radio module (RRM) or a mini-controller, and become part of a mapRF system.
additional information that is critical to the operation of the
computer and other equipment.
injury, damage to the equipment, or loss of data.
Because the 9150 pr ovides E t he rnet connectivity, it can be added to an existing
LAN. The 9150T provides the high-performance of 100Mb/s F ast Ethernet LANs,
as well as 10Mb/s. The 9150DC edition incorporates mos t of the features of the
high-performance 9150T, but is DC-powered, eli minating the need for AC wiring.
For detailed inf ormat ion on LAN connectivity, please refer to page 19.
The 9150 supports Type II PCMCIA cards so that multiple radio interfaces are possible. The 9150 also has dual-radio functionality. It can support several combinations of radio types to function as both a mini-controller and base station, access
point and base station, or access point and mini-co ntroller. For details, see “R adio
Options” on page 7.
The 9150 Flash memory holds the boot code, configuration parameters and firmware. The 9150 Configuration program allows various parameter settings to be
changed, added or deleted. The Flash can be r ec onfigured remot ely via the network
using a standard HTML Web Browser such as Netscape or MS I nternet Explorer
(for instructio n s, see Cha pter 3: “9150 Main Configurat ion ”) .
