Setting the Communication Domain

Stationary Wireless PCs

The Basic Service Set (BSS) is the communication domain for each AWS-100 access
point. For wireless PCs that do not need to support roaming, set the domain identifier (SSID)
for the wireless card to the BSS ID of the access point you want to connect to. Check with your
administrator for the BSS ID of the AWS-100 access point he wants you to connect to.

Roaming Wireless PCs

A wireless infrastructure can also support roaming for mobile workers. More than one access
point can be configured to create an Extended Service Set (ESS). By placing the access
points so that a continuous coverage area is created, wireless users within this ESS can roam
freely. All wireless network cards and adapters and AWS-100 access points within a
specific ESS must be configured with the same SS ID.
