Chapter 1 Introduction

The Dual-Band Wireless A/G Cardbus Adapter operates seamlessly and simultaneouslyin both the

2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency spectrum supporting the 802.11b (2.4GHz, 11Mbps) and the newer,

faster 802.11a (5GHz, 54Mbps/108Mbps turbo mode) and 802.11g (2.4GHz, 54MHz) wireless

standards. It’s the best way to add wireless capability to your existing wired network, or to add

bandwidth to your wirless installation.

To protect your wireless connectivity, the Dual-Band Wireless A/G Cardbus Adapter can encrypt all

wireless transmissions through 64/128/152-bit WEP data encryption. Dynamic Frequency

Selection (DFS) puts your network on the cleanest channel in your location. With the Dual-Band

Wireless Cardbus Adapter, you will experience the bes wireless connectivity nowadays.

1-5 Applications

The wireless LAN productsare easy to install and highly efficient. The following list describes some

of the

many applications made possible through the power and flexibility of wireless LANs:

1.Difficult-to-wire environments

There are many situations where wires can not or not easily be laid. Historic buildings, older

buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the installation of LANs either impossible or

very expensive.

2. Temporary workgroups

Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibitions, disaster-recovery, temporary office and

construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN established and removed.

3. The ability to access real-time informatios

Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can access real-timeinformation

while

dealing with patients, serving customers and processing information.

4. Frequently changed environments

Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where frequently rearrange the

workplace.

5. Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) networks

SOHOusers need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small network.

6. Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks

Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead caused by moves,

extensions to

networks, and other changes with wireless LANs.

7. Wired LAN backup

Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for mission-critical applications

running

on wired networks.

8. Training/Educational Facilities

Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless connectivity to ease access

to information, information exchanges, and learning.

1-6 Network Configurations

To better understand how the wireless LAN products work together to create a wireless network, it

might be helpful to depict a few of the possible wireless LAN PC card network configurations. The

wireless LAN

products can be configured as:

1. Ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) for departmental or SOHO LANs.

2. Infrastructure for enterprise LANs.

3. IP Sharing for 56K/ISDN TA/Cable/DSL Modem–Connect Internet and your SOHO network.

Ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) Mode

This is the simplest network configuration that several computers equipped with the PC Cards that

form a

wireless network whenever they are within range of one another (Figure 1-2). In ad-hoc mode,

each client, is peer-to-peer, would only have access to the resources of the other client and

requires no the access point. This is the easiest and least expensive way for the SOHO to set up a

wireless 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. If used in stand-alone, the AP can extend the range of

independent wireless LANs by acting a repeater, which effectively doubling the distance between

wireless stations as shown inFigure 1-3.

Figure 1-3

Extended-range independent WLAN using AP as repeater

If wired to an Ethernet network as shown inFigure 1-4, 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.

Figure 1-4 Single AP bridge

Access points have a finite range, on the order of 50 meters indoor and 100 meters outdoors. In a

very large facility such as an enterprise, a warehouse, or on a college campus, it will probably be

necessary to install more than one access point to cover an entire building or campus, as shown in

Figure 1-5. In this scenario, access points hand the client off from one to another in a way that is

invisible to the client, ensuring roken connectivity. Wireless clients can roam seamlessly between

different coverage areas and remain connected to the network.

Figure 1-5 Multiple-AP and roaming

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 1-6. You don’t have to buy an expensive router. Nor you have to buy several modems

and setup phone lines. Just share one AP, one Modem, single dial-up account, and one phone line,

dozens of network users can go surfing the Internet concurrently.
