Infrastructure
Many companies have an existing Ethernet or wired LAN infrastructure and want to be
able to extend that capability to wireless nodes. This is accomplished by installing
one or more Harmony 802.11a Access Points on the Ethernet network. You can also
add a Harmony Access Point Controller to the network to simplify Access Point
management and take advantage of additional features. See the
Harmony Access
Point Controller User’s Guide
for more information.

Figure 2 depicts a Harmony network that uses a single Access Point (AP) in
Independent mode (without a Harmony Access Point Controller). See the
Harmony
