Network Configuration and Planning

Infrastructure Wireless LANs

The SMC 802.11 N access point (SMCWBR14S-N) 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.
