CHAPTER 1

Introduction

The OmniAccess OAW-AP70 is part of a comprehensive wireless

network solution. The device works in conjunction with the Alcatel

Wireless LAN Switch and can act as a wireless access point or air

monitor.

As a wireless Access Point (AP), the OmniAccess OAW-AP70

(also referred to as the AP AP70) provides transparent, secure,

high-speed data communications between wireless network

devices (fixed, portable, or mobile computers with IEEE 802.11a

or IEEE 802.11b/g wireless adapters) and the wired LAN.

As a wireless Air Monitor (AM), a feature unique to Alcatel

products, the OmniAccess OAW-AP70 enhances wireless

networks by collecting statistics, monitoring traffic, detecting

intrusions, enforcing security policies, balancing wireless traffic

load, self-healing coverage gaps, and more.

OTE—Installing the Alcatel AP70 requires setting the antenna

power, which requires professional training. The Alcatel AP70

installer must be trained to perform this configuration.
