Infrastructure Wireless LAN

The Access Point 530 is designed to provide access to a wired LAN for wireless
stations. 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 a BSS can communicate with any computer in its wireless
group, or access other computers or network resources in the wired LAN
through the access point.
The infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of wireless PCs to
the wired LAN and can be used for access to central network resources, or
for connections between mobile workers, as shown in the following figure.
