Aironet 1000 series User Manual - Before You Start

The purpose of this User’s Guide is to allow you to install
and configure your Access Point, so that an end node or
another Access Point (acting as a Repeater) will be able to
register to it. For detailed installation and configuration
procedures, see the AP1000-T/AP2000-T Technical
Reference Manual.

Terminology
Root Unit - An Access Point which is located at the top of a
RF Network Tree. The Root Unit is the starting point in the
network and contains information in its Registration Table
regarding all nodes on the network.
Repeater - A Repeater is an Access Point which is used to
extend the radio range of your RF Network. A single Access
Point has a limited RF range. If your system configuration
includes nodes outside this range, you will need to add a
Repeater in order for them to communicate.
