Operation of the BAT 11b as Access Point
In this example, the left BAT 11b works as an access point, the
right BAT 11b as an access client. All clients in LAN 2 are con-
nected to the BAT 11b-AP in LAN 1.
Operation of the BAT 11b as Access Client
The BAT 11b can be operated as access client either in the
infrastructure mode or in the ad-hoc mode. In ad-hoc opera-
tion, it has to be ensured that all BAT 11b-ACs are installed
within the reach of the wireless network. As a rule, the ad-hoc
operation is usually not recommended, since transmission
interferences may occur more easily. In the infrastructure
mode, all clients have to be located within the wireless net-
work of the BAT 11b-AP. Here, it is not necessary that they are
able to receive each other, since the access point controls the
complete communication.
