Page 18: Applications
Applications Wireless LAN (WLAN) products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list describes some of the many applications made possible through the power and flexibility of WLANs: • Difficult-to-Wire Environments: There are many situations where wires can’t be intsalled, deployed easily, or can’t be hidden from view. Older buildings, sites with multiple buildings, and/or areas that makes the installation of an Ethernet based LAN impossible, impratical, or expensive are sites where WLAN can be a network solution. • Temporary Workgroups: Create temporary workgroups or networks in more open areas within a building; auditoriums, amphitheatres, classrooms, ballrooms, arenas, exhibition centers, or temporary offices where one wants either a permanant or temporary Wireless LAN established. -

- Page 97 Mesh Mode Mesh Networks are a network topology in which each node (called a mesh node) relays data for the network. All nodes cooperate in the distribution of data in the network. In the event that a node fails, other nodes can automatically reconfigure or “fill in“ for another Wireless AP in the network (called Self-healing) and pickup a signal that otherwise would have been dropped.
- Page 98 Random Access Memory. A group of memory locations that are numerically identified to allow high speed access by a CPU. In random access, any memory location can be accessed at any time by referring to its numerical identifier as compared to sequential access, where memory location 6 can only be accessed after accessing memory locations 1-5. Reboot A user activity where the user starts a computing device without interrupting its source of electrical power. Router A device that determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded to on its way to its final destination. A router creates and/or maintains a special routing table that stores information on how best to reach certain destinations.
- Page 99 VLAN A Virtual Local Area network allows a network manager to logically segment a LAN into differ- ent broadcast domains. Since this is a logical segmentation and not a physical one, worksta- tions do not have to be physically located together. VoIP Voice over IP is a technology used for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over IP networks rather than a PSTN line.
