Network Configuration and Planning

wireless network configuration, as well as an integrated configuration with
10/100 Mbps Ethernet LANs. The WN3601A can be configured as:
• 802.11 Ad Hoc for departmental or SOHO LANs
• Infrastructure for enterprise LANs
Ad hoc Wireless LAN
An Ad Hoc wireless LAN consists of a group of computers, each equipped
with one wireless adapter, connected via radio signals as an independent
wireless LAN. Computers in a specific Ad hoc wireless LAN must therefore
be configured to the same radio channel. An Ad hoc wireless LAN can be
used for a branch office or SOHO operation.
Infrastructure Wireless LAN
The WN3601A 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.
