Introduction >>> 1.1 CM11BGN-BT (MS-3870) - Wireless 11b/g/n + Bluetooth BT2.1 Combo Slim Module MSI CM11BGN-BT (MS-3870), the Wireless 11b/g/n + Bluetooth Combo Slim Module, which can be used to integrate with such systems as notebook, mini-barebone, portable PC. With MSI MS-3870 embedded inside, a system could provide users with the ability and flexibility to connect up to Internet wirelessly via 802.11b/g/n with speed up to 150Mbps, and to link with peripherals wirelessly through BluetoothTM v2.
>>> 1.2 How MS-3870 Works 1.2.1 In WLAN Environment Ad-hoc Mode : An Ad-hoc network is a local area network or other small network, especially one with wireless or temporary plug-in connections, in which some of the network devices are part of the network only for the duration of a communications session. Users in the network can share files, print to a shared printer, and access the Internet with a shared modem.
Infrastructure Mode : The difference between Infrastructure network and Ad-hoc network is that the former one includes an Access Point. In an Infrastructure network, the Access Point can manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization. Additionally, the Access Point enables users on a wireless LAN to access an existing wired network, allowing wireless users to take advantage of the wired networks resources, such as Internet, email, file transfer, and printer sharing.
1.2.2 In Bluetooth Connection The term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless exchange of data between two devices. In order to exchange data, two Bluetooth devices must establish a connection. Before a connection is established, one device must request a connection with another. The second device accepts (or rejects) the connection. The originator of the request is known as the client. The device that accepts (or rejects) the request is known as the server.
