Proxim ORiNOCO AP-1000 Modular Indoor Wireless Access Point
The Proxim ORiNOCO AP-1000 connects wireless network cells to an Ethernet LAN. Its modular design provides two PC Card slots for supported ORiNOCO radio cards and a 10/100 Ethernet connection.
Designed for indoor installations, the AP-1000 supports maintenance and replacement within compatible legacy ORiNOCO networks. Wireless capabilities depend on the installed radio cards and operating software.
Key Features
- Two PC Card slots for compatible ORiNOCO wireless cards.
- 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface.
- Wired-to-wireless bridging.
- Separate wireless channels when two supported radio cards are installed.
- ORiNOCO AP Manager configuration and monitoring.
Modular Wireless Architecture
At least one compatible ORiNOCO PC Card is required for wireless operation. The documented 802.11b configuration supports a maximum wireless PHY rate of 11 Mbps. Two cards can operate on different channels to serve separate wireless cells.
Network Management
The platform supports legacy ORiNOCO management tools, including Windows-based AP Manager and SNMP monitoring.
Indoor Installation
The installation guide supports wall or tabletop placement. Use the correct power supply for the actual hardware version and maintain ventilation around the unit.
Ideal Applications
- Replacement within an existing compatible ORiNOCO installation.
- Legacy wireless networking laboratories.
- Maintenance of systems requiring the AP-1000 platform.
Compatible Products
The manufacturer documents operation with one or two supported ORiNOCO PC Cards.
- Supported ORiNOCO PC Cards: Required radio modules; at least one is needed for wireless operation. Exact card part numbers were not verified for this listing.
- ORiNOCO Range Extender Antenna: Documented optional accessory connected through a compatible ORiNOCO PC Card. Confirm the antenna version and radio connector before ordering.
Important: A PC Card form factor alone does not establish compatibility. Do not assume support for arbitrary CardBus, 802.11g or 5 GHz radio cards. Power accessories must also match the actual unit's electrical requirements and connector pinout.
