Overview of the AT-WA7500 and AT-WA7501 Access Point Products
The Allied Telesyn AT-WA7500 and AT-WA7501 access points deliver
reliable and seamless wireless performance to almost any operational
environment. They are designed for standards-based connectivity and
they support industry standard IEEE 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a
wireless technologies.
The AT-WA7500 and AT-WA7501 access points with an IEEE 802.11g
radio installed are Wi-Fi certified for interoperability with other 802.11g and
802.11b wireless LAN devices.

The access point can be configured as an access point or as a point-to-
point or point-to-multipoint bridge. Normally, an access point is connected
to a wired local area network (LAN) and provides network access for
wireless end devices. A point-to-point bridge connects two wired LANs
and is often used to provide wireless communications in locations where
running cable is difficult, such as across roads or between buildings. A
point-to-multipoint bridge not only connects two wired LANs, but also
communicates with wireless end devices.
An access point can also be configured as a wireless access point (WAP)
or repeater. A WAP is not connected to a wired LAN; it receives data from
wireless end devices and forwards the data to an access point (that is
connected to the wired LAN). A WAP is useful in areas that do not support
a wired network connection.
On the left, this illustration shows the ways you can manage and configure
the access point, and on the right, it shows the access point’s general
multiport bridge architecture.
