NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND PLANNING

Infrastructure Wireless LAN

An SMC access point can also provide wireless workstations with access to

a wired LAN. An integrated wired and wireless LAN is called an

infrastructure configuration. A Basic Service Set (BSS) consists of a group

of wireless PC users, and an access point that is directly connected to the

wired LAN. Each wireless PC in this BSS can talk to any computer in its

wireless group via a radio link, or access other computers or network

resources in the wired LAN infrastructure via the access point.

The infrastructure configuration not only extends the accessibility of

wireless PCs to the wired LAN, but also extends the effective wireless

transmission range for wireless PCs by passing their signal through one or

more access points.

A wireless infrastructure can be used for access to a central database, or for

connection between mobile workers, as shown in the following figure.
