mands. With a wireless LAN, any changes in
the factory’s machine layout can be com-
pleted quickly. Wireless flexibility offers
installation and operation cost savings for the
factory.
6.6 Area Intranets
Community buildings such as schools, city
halls, gyms, etc., can be connected by Buffalo’s
wireless LAN system to form an area
Intranet. Buffalo offers the most effective
wireless solution for building-to-building
applications. There is no need for costly and
time-consuming installations of fiber optics
and cables between buildings. Additions to
and expansion of the wireless network are
simple and flexible. Using Buffalo’s wireless
solution within the building provides
additional freedom and quick data deploy-
ment/configuration changes to network
systems.
7.0 Support Functions
7.1 PoE - Power over Ethernet
PoE based on the IEEE802.3af specification,
draft 2.0, provides power in a CAT5 cable,
thus eliminating the need to use a separate
power supply cable. It must be used with
Buffalo’s supply adapter WLE-POE-S (sold
separately) as shown below. With PoE, the
user can locate a WLM2-G54 anywhere
without the need for a power outlet nearby.
