Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet

Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet. This Access Point will allow you to

network wirelessly better than ever.

How does the Access Point do all of this? An access point allows for greater range and mobility within your

wireless network while also allowing you to connect the wireless network to a wired environment. In fact, the

Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet can support communications on up to eight wireless

networks, using Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) technology.

The Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet also offers the convenience of Power over Ethernet (PoE)

capability, so it can receive data and power over a single Ethernet network cable.

But what does all of this mean?

Networks are useful tools for sharing computer resources. You can access one printer from different computers

and access data located on another computer's hard drive. Networks are even used for playing multiplayer video

games. So, networks are not only useful in homes and offices, they can also be fun.

PCs on a wired network create a LAN, or Local Area Network. They are connected with Ethernet cables, which is

why the network is called "wired".

PCs equipped with wireless cards and adapters can communicate without cumbersome cables. By sharing the

same wireless settings, within their transmission radius, they form a wireless network. This is sometimes called

a WLAN, or Wired Local Area Network. The Access Point bridges wireless networks of both 802.11g and 802.11b

standards and wired networks.

Use the instructions in this Guide to help you connect the Access Point, set it up, and configure it to bridge your

different networks. These instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the Access Point.

802.11b: a wireless networking standard that specifies a

maximum data transfer rate of 11Mbps and an operating

frequency of 2.4GHz.

802.11g: a wireless networking standard that specifies a

maximum data transfer rate of 54Mbps, an operating

frequency of 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with

802.11b devices.

adapter: a device that adds network functionality to your

PC.

ethernet: network protocol that specifies how data is

placed on and retrieved from a common transmission

medium.

lan (local area network): the computers and networking

products that make up your local network.

network: a series of computers or devices connected

together.

poe (power over ethernet): a technology enabling an

Ethernet network cable to deliver both data and power.

access point: a device that allows wireless-equipped

computers and other devices to communicate with a wired

network. Also used to expand the range of a wireless

network.
