Introduction
This Chapter provides an overview of the Wireless Access Point's features and ca-
pabilities.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wireless Access Point. The Wireless Access Point
links your 802.11g or 802.11b Wireless Stations to your wired LAN. The Wireless stations and devices on
the wired LAN are then on the same network, and can communicate with each other without regard for
whether they are connected to the network via a Wireless or wired connection.
The auto-sensing capability of the Wireless Access Point allows packet transmission up to 54Mbps for
maximum throughput, or automatic speed reduction to lower speeds when the environment does not permit
maximum throughput.
