2 Wireless LAN Application
Wireless LAN (Local Area Network) systems offer a great number of advantages over a
traditional, wired system. And these systems support the same network configuration options
of the legacy Ethernet LANs as defined by IEEE 802 standard committee. Besides, they are
more flexibles, easier to setup and manage and often more cost effective than wired
equivalence. In general, wireless LAN products can be configured as “Ad-Hoc (Peer-toPeer)” for departmental or SOHO LANs or “Infrastructure (Access Point)” for enterprise
LANs.
2-1 Ad-Hoc Topology
This is the peer-to-peer mode of operation without access point. An Ad-Hoc wireless LAN is a
group of computers, each equipped with one wireless adapter, connected as an independent
wireless LAN. Computers in a specific Ad-Hoc wireless LAN must be configured at the same
radio channel and the same SSID for establishing the wireless connection. Ad-Hoc wireless
LAN is applicable at a departmental scale for a branch or SOHO operation.
