Wireless Access Point

For systems that make use of a Lucent WaveLAN card (both IEEE and legacy WaveLAN cards), KarlNet supports standard Lucent Access Point modesm including the standard IEEE 802.11 Access Point mode. This setting is useful for:

• Connecting to any 802.11 radios acting as mobile units, and also when operating this interface for compatibility with other manufacturers' access point hardware
• Communication over the wireless network is light, or is limited primarily to one satellite.

When using WaveLAN IEEE Compatibility mode, you will not be able to connect to multiple Access Points over the same interface. If you wish to support a LAN (either wired or wireless) connected to the far side of a remote WavePOINT-II, you must use a TurboCell setup. Access Point mode is useful primarily for wireless LANs that have no hidden nodes. For wireless network infrastructure connections, we strongly recommend running the TurboCell protocols on your preferreed radio hardware.
