  • Page 19: Welcome To The Aironet Wireless Client

    The Aironet Wireless Client operates by associating to an Access Point or Bridge to make a connection to remote end nodes. If two end nodes are both Aironet Wireless Clients and they are within radio range of each other, the units may be configured to send the radio packets directly to each other without connecting to an intervening Access Point or Bridge.

  • Page 20: Ethernet Client

    Aironet Wireless Client There are two common applications for the Serial Client: Replacing a serial cable with a wireless link. The cable between a serial device and its host can be eliminated. NOTE: For this application, two Wireless Clients are required.

  • Page 21: Data Transparency And Protocols

    The Aironet Wireless Client transports data packets transparently as they move through the wireless infrastructure. The Aironet Wireless Client is also protocol independent for all packets, except those either addressed specifically to the Aironet Wireless Client or sent as multicast address packets.

  • Page 22: Protocols Supported

    The 3500 Series uses a radio modulation technique known as Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum transmission (FHSS). It combines high data throughput with excellent immunity to interference. The Aironet Wire- less Client operates in the 2.4 GHz license-free Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) band.

  • Page 23: Radio Ranges

    This can be configured either as two separate remote antennas or as the single unit diversity antenna supplied by Aironet. Two antennas allow the 3500 Series to detect and use the strongest signal coming from either of the anten- nas.

    Access Point on the infra- structure including repeaters and client nodes. Cell – A single Aironet Wireless Client transmits and receives data within an area called a cell. A cell is the area of radio range (coverage) in which the Aironet Wireless Client can communicate to other devices in the wireless infrastructure.

  • Page 26: Client System Conþgurations

    The Aironet Wireless Client can be used in a variety of infrastructure configurations. How you configure your infrastructure will determine the size of the microcell, which is the area a single Aironet Wireless Cli- ent will provide with RF coverage. You can extend the RF coverage area by creating multiple microcells on a LAN.

    Running A Unicast Test (Unicast) The unicast option can be used to test the path between the Aironet Wireless Client and any other Aironet node in the wired or radio net- work. The packets are sent with the same error recovery as normal user data so round trip times indicate the infrastructure throughput and con- gestion.

  • Page 78: Running A Remote Linktest (Remote)

    The destination option is used to indicate the target node address for the link test. You may enter an infrastructure address or the string “any”. If you select “any”, the Aironet Wireless Client will direct the test to the Access Point to which the unit is associated. If you enter a infrastructure address it may only be used for the remote or unicast linktests.
