3. Features
The Wavit11 is standalone wireless LAN with 10BASE-T interface. When
using Wavit11, you can install wireless network not only to personal computers
but also to printer and other network equipment that have 10BASE-T ports. The
Wavit11 is connected to network devices with 10BASE-T cable, so you do not
need to install device drivers to set up Wavit11.
The Wavit11 operates as Access Point that supports up to 16 Wavit11. Also, it
operates as Wireless Bridge. Wireless Bridge connects two networks that are
physically separated by two Wavit11s.
Access Point
If you install the combination network of wired LAN and wireless
LAN, you will need intermediary device in order to connect the
wired and wireless networks. Such equipment is called Access
Point.
