1. INTRODUCTION Wireless LAN is local area networking without wires, which uses radio frequencies to transmit and receive data between PC’ s or other network devices. Wireless LAN is able to configure independent networks and infrastructure networks. The former is suitable for small or temporary peer-to-peer configurations, and the later is offering fully distributed data connectivity via micro cells and roaming.
1.3 Wireless LAN System 1.3.1 802.11 Ad-Hoc Configuration An 802.11 Ad-Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with one WLAN CF module, connected as an independent wireless LAN. Computers in a specific 802.11 Ad-Hoc wireless LAN must be configured at the same radio channel. 802.11 Ad-Hoc wireless LAN is applicable to a departmental scale for a branch or SOHO operation. Figure 1-1 802.11 Ad-Hoc Configuration 1.3.
Figure 1-2 Infrastructure Configuration The infrastructure configuration supports roaming capability for mobile workers. More than one BSS can be jointly configured as an Extended Service Set (ESS). On account of a continuous connection to the network, users within this ESS can roam freely. All WLAN CF module and APs within one ESS must be configured with the same ESS ID.
