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 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 Access Point as
a repeater or other networking and system configuration
issues, see the Technical Reference Manual document
number 710-004242.
Information about optional, long range antennas is available
from the Aironet Antenna Guide document number
710-003725 or your Aironet supplier.
