Overview

What you can do with your Wireless LAN Access Point

The 5GHz Wireless LAN Access Point PCWA-A500 is designed for
constructing a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) environment. Because
the wireless LAN does not require cable connections, client computers can
operate anywhere within a specified range.

Connect your Access Point to a power outlet, insert the 5GHz Wireless
LAN PC Card PCWA-C500 (sold separately) into your computer, and use
the provided software together with the Access Point to construct a wireless
LAN environment on multiple client computers (16 or fewer is
recommended). In a wireless LAN environment, you can share files and
folders on other client computers and let others share files and folders on
your computer.

Further, you can connect the Access Point to a DSL modem, cable modem,
or ISDN router to access the Internet from a client computer that is
equipped with wireless LAN or from a client computer on an Ethernet LAN
that is connected to the NETWORK 2 connector.
