3.3 Access Point
Access Points (AP)??.
Alternatively, Access Points may be used as a single hop repeater.
All radio traffic with the radio cell is controlled by the Access Point, and must pass through the
Access Point. Ideally the Access Point is placed at the wired location where the majority of data
traffic will flow. This will reduce quantity of data transmitted over the radio.
Access Points periodically sent out Beacon messages. These messages are used by Clients to
synchronise their link with an individual AP.
