Re: Wireless LAN access in Atlanta

[James McKenzie <mcs () 1ipnet net>]

 I worked with Breezecom radios for a year.  I never had an ethernet
compatibility issue.  All devices and adapters should work fine.

 It's important that you know what type of radio you will be hooking up to.
an SA or a WB.  SA's are single host devices, you would run a straight
10BaseT cable between the SA and your ethernet Card/Adapter.  The WB's are
bridges, you would use a hub or if your on a one-to-one relationship use a
cross-over cable.

 If your using the SA's and you change your ip or the ethernet adapter
plugged into the SA you should power cycle the SA as it will continue to
try to serve only the IP/Mac Address it first saw on power up.
