Introduction
1- 8
In the example, the Access Point maintains an area of RF
coverage (cell). Any radio node within the cell’s area can
communicate to any other node (via radio or across the
wired Ethernet LAN) using the Access Point.
If a larger area of RF coverage is required, additional
Access Points can be added either as root units, attached to
the LAN, or as repeaters. Each Access Point adds its own
cell, which can be used to provide additional coverage area,
greater total bandwidth, or network redundancy.
For information about how to configure the AP3500-E as a
repeater or other networking and system configuration
issues, see the AP3500-E Technical Reference Manual
document #710-004021.
Information about optional long range antennas is available
from the Aironet Antenna Guide document #710-003725 or
your Aironet supplier.
