INFRASTRUCTURE WIRELESS LAN
The SMCWUSBS-N3 can also provide access to a wired LAN for wireless
workstations. An integrated wired and wireless LAN is called an
Infrastructure configuration. A Basic Service Set (BSS) consists of a group
of wireless PC users, and an access point that is directly connected to the
wired LAN. Each wireless PC in this BSS can communicate with to any
computer in its wireless group via a radio link, or access other computers
or network resources in the wired LAN infrastructure via an access point.
The infrastructure configuration not only extends the accessibility of
wireless PCs to the wired LAN, but also increases the effective wireless
transmission range for wireless PCs by passing their signal through one or
more access points.
A wireless infrastructure can be used for access to a central database, or
for connection between mobile workers, as shown in the following figure.
