Planning Your Installation

To plan your installation, refer to “Finding the Best

Using the Configuration Guide

The configuration guide in Table 4-1 summarizes the

necessary steps to set up an open wireless LAN. The

left-hand column provides basic setup information for a

simple network using 6710 Access Points on a single

Ethernet segment. This type of network may contain

bridges or hubs, but may not contain OWL/IP links through

routers, secondary LANs, or wireless access points. The

right-hand column provides additional steps for more

complex networks that include these additional

components.
