Page 5: Network Configurations
1- 6 Network Configurations To better understand how the SL-2011 PLUS wireless LAN products work together to create a wireless network, it might be helpful to depict a few of the possible SL-2011 PLUS network configurations. The SL-2011 PLUS wireless LAN products can be configured as: 1. - Page 6 Peer to Peer W/ EL-2011CD W/ EL-2011CD W/ EL-2011CD W/ EL-2011CD Figure 1-3 A wireless Ad-hoc network Infrastructure Mode The infrastructure mode requires the use of an access point (AP). In this mode, all wireless communications between two computers have to be via the AP no matter the AP is wired to Ethernet network or stand-alone.
- Page 7 If wired to an Ethernet network as shown in Figure 1-5, the AP serves as a bridge and provides the link between the server and the wireless clients. The wireless clients can move freely throughout the coverage area of the AP while remaining connected to the server. Since the AP is connected to the wired network, each client would have access to server resources as well as to other clients.
- Page 8 Wireless Router and IP Sharing In infrastructure mode, in addition to acting as a bridge between an Ethernet and wireless network, the AP can be configured as a wireless router and IP sharing device for Internet access as shown in Figure 1-7. You don’t have to buy an expensive router.

Page 13: Wireless Lan Client Utility
Figure 2-5 2-3 Wireless LAN Client Utility Wireless LAN Client Utility is used to display or change the PC card information about link, configuration, encryption, and utility/driver/firmware version information. The client utility will also help you with site selection. The client utility will be installed automatically after installing the driver and utility. - Page 14 Figure 2-6 1. Link Info State Shows status information about the radio link, as shown in Figure 2-6 Associated BSSID – means the wireless client is connected to an access point. BSSID is shown in the form of six hex digits which is the MAC address of the access point.
- Page 15 # Tx: shows the outgoing (sent) data speed. # Rx: shows the incoming (received) data speed. Link Quality The bar shows the measured signal level and connection status. The higher blue bar is, the better the radio signal is being received by the PC card. Signal Strength The bar shows signal strength level.
- Page 16 important # Infrastructure: this mode of operation requires the use of an Access Point. In this mode, all wireless communications between computers have to be via the Access Point. (Default setting is Infrastructure) SSID SSID is an identification code required for communication in a wireless LAN. You will only be able to connect with a wireless client (802.11 AdHoc) or an Access Point (Infrastructure) which has the same SSID.
- Page 17 Figure 2-8 This panel allows the entry of keys or passphrases, which can then be written to the driver and registry. Note that each key must consist of hex digits, it means that only digit 0-9 and letters A-F are valid entries. If entered incorrectly, program will not write the keys to a driver.
