wireless clients.
By using the off-the-shelf peer-to-peer network operating systems, each computer can
dynamically connect and reconnect to the others with no additional configuration, as
illustrated in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 Peer-to-Peer Group
The LAN-Express IEEE 802.11 Wireless Adapter can communicate with an 802.11b or
802.11g Peer-to-Peer Group (but it can not dynamically switch between the two).
Therefore, you must manually configure the wireless adapter to use one specific radio
mode.
3-2 Access Point Infrastructure
Many companies have an existing Ethernet or wired LAN infrastructure and want to be
able to extend that capability to wireless nodes. This is accomplished by installing one or
more Access Points on the Ethernet network. Access Points are devices that communicate
with both the Ethernet network and the wireless network.
