<p>An emulation Access Point, method and system for providing an Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF) for transmission between a wireless device and a remote client on a wired Local Area Network (LAN) includes a protocol stack having a wireless device radio module adapted for communication with the wireless device. An emulation Access Point is adapted for communication with the wireless device radio module, and an Access Point Controller is adapted for communication with both the Access Point and a remote client. The emulation Access Point includes a Gateway Translation function (GTF) module that is adapted for receiving data from the wireless device radio module, the data being transmitted in a local protocol by a local protocol receiving unit, and translating the data to a standard protocol by the standard protocol unit that is transmitted to the remote client. The remote client sees an emulated wired device on the LAN instead of a wireless device from a WLAN. The emulation Access Point, while being adapted to receive a streamlined PWD, is also adapted to be permit communication from conventional PWDs to the remote client, so that hospitals, etc., won't have to completely replace their PWDs all at once.</p> |
