1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the ASUS SpaceLink Access Point, a member of
ASUS’ SpaceLink wireless infrastructure family. The ASUS SpaceLink
Access Point complies with the IEEE 802.11b wireless standard to provide
wireless mobile clients with network connectivity at data rates of up to 11
Mbps. The stand-alone ASUS SpaceLink Access Point connects to a small
Ethernet network to provide wireless access for wireless mobile clients.
System Requirements
To begin using the ASUS SpaceLink Access Point, you must have the
following minimum requirements:
• An Ethernet (10Base-T or 10/100Base-TX) LAN switch or hub
• At least one 802.11b wireless adapter for a wireless mobile client
Note: The ASUS SpaceLink Access Point only supports 10Base-T,
therefore it cannot be connected to pure 100Base-TX networks. The
network must be either 10-Base or 10/100Base-TX.
