Overview of Wireless Networking
The Summit 300-48 switch and the Altitude 300 extend network service to wireless 802.11a/b/g clients
within a fully integrated network infrastructure. Ports on the Summit 300-48 switch handle all of the
management functions typically associated with an access point. The Altitude 300 serves as the radio
transmitter and receiver, inheriting configuration information as soon as it is attached to the switch and
as changes are made to the wireless profiles after the system is deployed.
Figure 6 shows a sample network configuration. The Summit 300-48 switch provides switching service
across the wired and wireless network. Each port on the switch is configured with a “personality” that
identifies its function.
