Chapter 1: Introduction
The SMCDPCR-AP is an IEEE 802.11b/g (Wi-Fi) access point that provides a
quality wireless Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service for Wi-Fi phones, and
high-speed data communications between the internet and other 802.11b/g mobile
devices. The SMC Cradle Access Point also includes a cradle for charging an SMC
Wi-Fi phone.
The access point software provides two “virtual” wireless interfaces that can be used
to separate different types of network traffic. Both wireless interfaces provide
gateway functions, such as a DHCP server and Network Address Translation (NAT),
that route data from wireless clients to the wired network. In addition, the access
point offers full network management capabilities through an easy-to-use web
interface.
Package Checklist
The SMC Cradle Access Point package includes:
• SMCDPCR-AP Cradle Access Point
• RJ-45 Category 5 network cable
• AC power adapter
• Quick Installation Guide
• Management Guide CD
Inform your dealer if there are any incorrect, missing or damaged parts. If possible,
retain the carton, including the original packing materials. Use them again to repack
the product in case there is a need to return it.
