Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network 1 . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . This chapter provides a basic understanding of network principles, so you can begin to take advantage of your new AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network. It also gives you useful information that will help you modify your network to meet your changing needs.
Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network CHAPTER 1 What is a network? A computer network consists of two or more PCs that are able to communicate with each other. Through a network, multiple PCs can share resources, such as printers, an Internet connection, or stored data. It costs less to share resources than provide every PC with its own printer or Internet connection. You can also access a file located on other PCs in the network just as if the file was located on your own PC.
Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network CHAPTER 1 The device driver and adapter settings are installed when you first set up your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network using the Installation Guide. The AnyPoint Connectivity Software Suite CD The AnyPoint Connectivity Software Suite is on your CD. It contains programs for your home and small business network.
CHAPTER 1 Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network following figure shows PCs with Wireless II adapters in various rooms of a house communicating directly with one another in peer-to-peer mode. Infrastructure mode In the Infrastructure mode, PCs transmit and receive data to and from a gateway or an access point (AP). Many corporate networks use access points, which serve as a communications hub for all PCs using 802.11b wireless adapters to connect to a wireless or wired LAN.
Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network CHAPTER 1 laptop with a PC card adapter is accessing the Internet by transmitting and receiving data from the access point. The second illustration shows how wireless PCs connect to a corporate network through an access point. Laptops with wireless adapters can access the resources on the wired network including the Internet and servers.
Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network CHAPTER 1 work, you can travel between your office, a conference room, and an outdoor courtyard and remain connected to the work network and its resources. To easily connect to other networks, you can use the AnyPoint Connection Manager software. What is the AnyPoint Connection Manager? The AnyPoint Connection Manager is a software tool that is available when you install your AnyPoint Wireless II adapter.
Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network • CHAPTER 1 Other settings - In some networks, you will be prompted to provide other 802.11b settings. The operating system settings define shared and mapped drives, printers, browsers, TCP/IP (addressing) functions and standard windows operating settings. You can also save these settings in network profiles using the Profile Manager tab. What is a profile? Network profiles contain all the setting listed in the previous section.
CHAPTER 1 Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network What is sharing and mapping? The concept of sharing and mapping is actually a two-fold process that allows two or more PCs to locate and use each other’s drives and printers as if they were on one single PC. The two processes work together. The AnyPoint Sharing and Mapping software allows you to first decide which drives and printers on each PC are to be shared with the network.
Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network CHAPTER 1 What is Internet Sharing Software (ISS)? AnyPoint Internet Sharing Software (ISS) allows all of your PCs to share one PC’s Internet connection. With AnyPoint Wireless II adapters, ISS is available only in Peer-to Peer mode, when all PCs communicate directly with each other. You merely set up the PC with the Internet connection as an ISS server. You then set up the remaining PCs as ISS clients.
Understanding your AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network CHAPTER 1 Once you install the Firewall through your ISS server, it works silently to protect your PC whenever the ISS server PC is operating. The Firewall has four security levels: Trusting, Cautious, Nervous and Paranoid. Inbound traffic is blocked according to the security level you select. The more restrictive the security level, the more likely the Firewall will block unsolicited inbound traffic.
