Cisco WAP200 Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet and Rangebooster 1
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Cisco WAP200 Wireless-G Access Point with Power
Over Ethernet and Rangebooster.
This access point lets you connect Wireless-G (802.11g) or Wireless-B (802.11b)
devices to your wired network so you can add computers to the network
wirelessly.
The WAP200 also offers the convenience of Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability,
so it can receive data and power over a single Ethernet network cable. You can
even connect wired networks in two different buildings, by using two access
points set to Wireless Bridge mode.

Planning Your Wireless Network
Before deploying your Cisco WAP200 Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over
Ethernet and Rangebooster, take some time to plan your wireless network.
This chapter includes the following topics:
•Network Topology, page 2
•Roaming, page 3
•Network Layout, page 3
•Example of a Simple Wireless Network, page 4
Network Topology
A wireless network is a group of computers, each equipped with one or more
wireless adapters. Computers in a wireless network must be configured to share
the same radio channel to talk to each other. Several computers equipped with
wireless cards or adapters can communicate with each other to form an ad-hoc
network without the use of an access point.
Cisco wireless adapters also provide access to a wired network when using an
access point or wireless router. An integrated wireless and wired network is
called an infrastructure network. Each wireless computer in an infrastructure
network can talk to any computer in a wired or wireless network via the access
point or wireless router.
An infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of a wireless computer to
a wired network, and may double the effective wireless transmission range for
two wireless adapter computers.
Because an access point can forward data within a network, the effective
transmission range in an infrastructure network may be doubled (depending on
antenna characteristics).
Planning Your Wireless Network
Roaming

Roaming
An infrastructure configuration also supports roaming capabilities for mobile
users. Roaming means that you can move your wireless computer within your
network and the access points will pick up the wireless computer’s signal,
providing that they both share the same wireless channel, SSID, and wireless
security settings.
This access point has 802.11F Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) to complete the
roaming process in seconds. If your wireless networks share the same IP subnet,
this does not disrupt your data connection while moving around.
Before you consider roaming, choose a feasible radio channel and optimum
access point position. Proper access point positioning combined with a clear radio
signal will greatly enhance performance.
Network Layout
The WAP200 Access Point supports 802.11g and 802.11b products such as the
notebook adapters for your laptop computers, PCI adapters for your desktop
computers, and USB adapters.
These wireless products can also communicate with a 802.11g or 802.11b
wireless print server.
To link your wired network to your wireless network, connect the access point’s
Ethernet network port to any switch or router with PoE.

Example of a Simple Wireless Network
The following diagram shows a typical infrastructure wireless network setup.
In this example, the wireless access points connect to and receive power from a
PoE Cisco switch. Each access point can connect multiple wireless devices to the
network.
This network provides connectivity among wireless network devices and
computers that have a wired connection to the switch.
The switch connects to a router that connects to the Internet.
