1.1Feature
ThefollowinglistdescribesthedesignoftheEOC5611Pmadepossiblethroughthepowerand
flexibilityofwirelessLANs:

a) Difficult‐to‐wireenvironments
Therearemanysituationswherewirescannotbelaideasily.Historicbuildings,older
buildings,openareasandacrossbusystreetsmaketheinstallationofLANseither
impossibleorveryexpensive.
b) Temporaryworkgroups
Considersituationsinparks,athleticarenas,exhibitioncenters,disaster‐recovery,
temporaryofficesandconstructionsiteswhereonewantsatemporaryWLANestablished
andremoved.
c) Theabilitytoaccessreal‐timeinformation
Doctors/nurses,point‐of‐saleemployees,andwarehouseworkerscanaccessreal‐time
informationwhiledealingwithpatients,servingcustomersandprocessinginformation.
d) Frequentlychangedenvironments
Showrooms,meetingrooms,retailstores,andmanufacturingsiteswherefrequently

4
rearrangetheworkplace.
e) WirelessextensionstoEthernetnetworks
Networkmanagersindynamicenvironmentscanminimizetheoverheadcausedbymoves,
extensionstonetworks,andotherchangeswithwirelessLANs.
f) WiredLANbackup
NetworkmanagersimplementwirelessLANstoprovidebackupformission‐critical
applicationsrunningonwirednetworks.
g) Training/Educationalfacilities
Trainingsitesatcorporationsandstudentsatuniversitiesusewirelessconnectivitytoease
accesstoinformation,informationexchanges,andlearning.

RouterMode.ClientRouterconnectedtoanAPwirelesslyand
transmitsinternetconnectionprotocolthroughAPtoaccessthe
internet.
MultipleSSIDsEOC5611Psupportsupto4SSIDsonyouraccesspoint.Thefollowing
optionscanbesettoeachSStoeachSSID:
-SSIDforpublicorprivatenetwork
