Introduction 1

1 Introduction

The Motorola AP-5131 Access Point (AP) provides a bridge between Ethernet wired LANs or WANs

and wireless networks. It provides connectivity between Ethernet wired networks and radio-equipped

mobile units (MUs). MUs include the full line of Motorola terminals, bar-code scanners adapters (PC

cards, compact flash cards and PCI adapters) and other devices.

The AP-5131 provides a maximum 54Mbps data transfer rate via each radio. It monitors Ethernet

traffic and forwards appropriate Ethernet messages to MUs over the network. It also monitors MU

radio traffic and forwards MU packets to the Ethernet LAN.

The AP-5131’s GUI, CLI and help system have been re-branded to “AP-51xx” (with the exception of

the login screen to be used generically with the AP-5181 model access point (that shares the same

GUI and feature set).

The AP-5131 is available in two radio versions, a single-radio and dual-radio model. One version of

the device firmware runs on the AP-5131 regardless of its radio configuration.

The Motorola AP-5131 Access Point is available in the following base models:

• Single 802.11a/g radio, external antenna (Part No. AP-5131-4002X-WWR)

• Dual 802.11a+g radio, external antenna (Part No. AP-5131-1304X-WWR)

If new to the AP-5131 and access point technology, refer to the AP-51xx Product Reference Guide to

familiarize yourself with access point technology and the feature set exclusive to the Motorola

AP-5131. The guide is available, at http://support.symbol.com/support/product/manuals.do.
