3510 Access Point (AP) provides a bridge between
Ethernet wired LANs or WANs and wireless networks. It provides connectivity between
Ethernet wired networks and radio-equipped mobile units (MUs).
The AP3510 provides a maximum 54Mbps data transfer rate via each radio. It monitors
Ethernet traffic and forwards appropriate Ethernet messages to MUs over the network.
It also monitors MU radio traffic and forwards MU packets to the Ethernet LAN.
An AP3510 can be adopted, configured and managed from a wireless controller. The
management of the AP3510 is conducted by a controller, only after the AP3510 connects
to a Summit

configuration.
