xxii Introduction to the Aironet PCMCIA Wireless LAN Adapter
Figure 0.7 - Multiple Access Points to Extend the 2.4 GHz Network
The Aironet Access Point can be configured as a stand-alone Repeater to extend the
range of a network, or to overcome an RF blocking obstacle. The Repeater will support
remote workstations equipped with an Aironet Client Card. The Repeater will forward
traffic between the workstations and the Ethernet LAN by sending packets to either
another repeater, or to an Aironet Access Point configured as a backbone Root Unit.
Multiple Repeater hops (up to 8) are supported in the path to the Ethernet.
