Adaptec 2012500 User Guide - Page 9

Introduction Introduction This User's Guide provides detailed instructions for installing and configuring your Wireless Access Point (Wireless AP) as part of a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). See the Installation Task List on page 3 for an overview of the installation process. This Guide also includes a basic overview of wireless and LAN technology (see page 30) suitable for novice users. It assumes you have a working knowledge of your computer and are familiar with the Windows operating system. Note: Your Wireless AP is only one element of your WLAN. Installing this product alone will not create a wireless network. See About Wireless Technology and LANs on page 30 for information on the minimum requirements for creating a WLAN.
