Appendix A Network Configuration A-1 Network Topology Ad-Hoc Mode Notebook with GL241101 Desktop PC with GL241101 Ad Hoc Wireless LAN Notebook with GL241101 Desktop PC with GL241101 Fig. 1 - Ad-Hoc Wireless LAN An Ad-Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with one LAN adapter, connected as an independent wireless LAN. Computers in a specific Ad-Hoc wireless LAN must be configured at the same radio channel and ESSID.
GL2411AP-0A provides access to a wired LAN for wireless workstations. An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. A group of LAN PC users and a GL2411AP-0A Access Point construct a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each LAN PC in the BSS can talk to any computer in the wired LAN infrastructure via the GL2411AP-0A Access Point.
Appendix B Specifications GL2411AP-0A Access Point Wired Interface Ethernet, 10/100 BaseT Wireless Interface IEEE 802.11b standard Wireless LAN Frequency Band 2.412~2.462 GHz (FCC, Canada) 2.412~2.472 GHz (ETSI) 2.412~2.472 GHz (Japan STD-T66) 2.
Appendix C Glossary Access Point ― An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless networks. Ad-Hoc ― An Ad-Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers each with LAN adapters, connected as an independent wireless LAN. Backbone ― The core infrastructure of a network. The portion of the network transports information from one central location to another central location where it is unloaded onto a local system.
ESSID ― In infrastructure association , the stations will link to the AP with the same ESSID as they have. WEP ― Wired Equivalent Privacy (Wep) is an encryption scheme used to protect wireless data communication. To enable the icon will prevent other stations without the same WEP key from linking with the AP. Preamble Type ― During transmission, the PSDU shall be appended to a PLCP preamble and header to create the PPDU.
