3 Wireless LAN Basics

Wireless LAN network defined by IEEE 802.11b/g standard committee could be configured as :

Ad Hoc wireless LAN.
Infrastructure wireless LAN.

Ad Hoc network is a group of PCs installed with wireless LAN cards, this group of PCs is called a

BSS (Basic Service Set). PCs in this group can use their wireless LAN cards to communicate with
each other, but can not connect to the Internet.

Ad Hoc Wireless Network Infrastructure Wireless Network

The most obvious difference between Infrastructure wireless network and Ad Hoc wireless network
is that the PCs in Infrastructure wireless network can access the resource in the Internet through
Access Point.

Depending on your requirement, you can easily set up your PC’s network to be a “Ad Hoc” or “
Infrastructure” wireless network. Generally speaking, if in your network, there is an Access Point in
it, we recommend you to set your network as an “Infrastructure”, so it can connect to the Internet.

4 IP ADDRESS

To use the WLAN Adapter with a computing device, the WLAN Adapter must be equipped
with a proper Interface. All drivers and supporting software for the WLAN Adapter must be installed
and configured first.

Ask your system administrator for the following information, which you may need to provide
during driver installation :

§ Your Wireless Client Name.

§ Your Wireless SSID.

§ Your computer’s unique client name and workgroup name.

§ For your network account, your user name and password.

§ Your IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask if you’re not using a DHCP client.

Any computer on a network is identified by a unique network address. There are two
methods to assign a network address to a computer on a TCP/IP network :

§ Static IP addressing.

§ Dynamic IP addressing (DHCP Client).

Wireless LAN Basics

In network with static IP addressing, the network administrator manually assigns an IP
address to each computer. Once a static IP address is assigned, a computer uses the same IP
address every time it reboots and logs on to the network. You may manually change the IP address
in the Network Properties dialog box. Network using static IP address is easy to set up and do not
require additional network management software.

In network with dynamic IP addressing, a DHCP server in the network dynamically assigns
IP addresses to all clients every time they log on to the network. Network using dynamic IP address
requires setting up and running a DHCP Server.
