14 InstantWave
11-Mbps Wireless Access Point
How to Use this Guide
This user’s guide gives complete instructions for installation and use of the
InstantWave NWH660 11-Mbps Wireless Access Point (AP).
Before putting the NWH660 into operation on your LAN, it is important that you
adjust the unit’s settings to conform to your networking environment. This can be
done with either of two tools included in the NWH660 package: the AP COM-port
Configuration utility (AP COMFig) or the InstantWave Management System
(IWMS).
AP COMFig lets you carry out basic configuration of the NWH660 off-line, through
the supplied serial cable, using a networked or stand-alone computer. IWMS is a
powerful yet easy-to-use SNMP-based software package for configuration and
management of InstantWave devices over network and internetwork links.

possible performance from your InstantWave wireless network.
