1 Introduction
This is a smoke detector looking Wireless Access Point / Repeater / WDS that
operates seamlessly in the 2.4 GHz frequency spectrum supporting the 802.11b
(2.4GHz, 11Mbps) and faster 802.11g (2.4GHz, 54Mbps) wireless standards. It's the
best way to add wireless capability to your existing wired network, or to add
bandwidth to your wireless installation.
This device features high transmitted output power and high receivable sensitivity
along with antenna diversity. High output power and high sensitivity can extend
range and coverage to reduce the roaming between Access Points to get more
stable wireless connection. It also reduces the expense of equipment in the same
environment.
To protect your wireless connectivity, it can encrypt all wireless transmissions
through 64/128-bit WEP data encryption and also supports WPA/WPA2. The MAC
address filter lets you select exactly which stations should have access to your
network. In addition, the User Isolation function can protect the private network
between client users.
The attractive design, high performance, and array of features makes this a suitable
wireless solution for your residence or office.
This chapter describes the features & benefits, package contents, applications, and
network configuration.

Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead
caused by moves, extensions to networks, and other changes with
wireless LANs.
g) Wired LAN backup
Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for
mission-critical applications running on wired networks.
h) Training/Educational facilities
Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless
connectivity to ease access to information, information exchanges, and
learning.
Network Configuration
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:
a) Ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) for departmental or SOHO LANs.
b) Infrastructure for enterprise LANs.
a) Ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) Mode
This is the simplest network configuration with several computers
equipped with the PC Cards that form a wireless network whenever they
are within range of one another. In ad-hoc mode, each client is peer-topeer, would only have access to the resources of the other client and
does not require an access point. This is the easiest and least expensive
way for the SOHO to set up a wireless network. The image below depicts
a network in ad-hoc mode.
b) Infrastructure Mode
The infrastructure mode requires the use of an access point (AP). In this
mode, all wireless communication between two computers has to be via

the AP. It doesn’t matter if the AP is stand-alone or wired to an Ethernet
network. If used in stand-alone, the AP can extend the range of
independent wireless LANs by acting as a repeater, which effectively
doubles the distance between wireless stations. The image below
depicts a network in infrastructure mode.
