Installation in a Network
This section describes how to install the FX-DS110-APE to
construct a network with improved performance and discusses the
general features and radio characteristics of the wireless LAN as
well as the guidelines for constructing the network.
Features of the Wireless Network
In general, the operation of a wireless network is the same as for
most other types of LAN. The most prominent feature of the
wireless network is that it uses radio waves as its medium,
eliminating the need for cabling. The wireless network thus requires
no cabling cost and has other advantages as listed below:
- Quick construction of a LAN
- Temporary installation of a LAN
- Higher flexibility in layout of connected PCs (terminals)
- Assured mobility of connected PCs (terminals)
On the other hand, the wireless network has the following drawbacks
from the operational point of view due to the nature of radio waves:
- Signal attenuation
- Signal interference
Also, although this unit does not require a radio license, it is subject
to radio regulations.
