Wireless LAN

B.1

Introduction

This Appendix explains some of the basic terms and concepts of
Wireless LANs.

See the specifications of your device for details on the performance of
your device

B.2

Wireless LAN

Wireless LANs transmit and receive data through the air through radio
frequency (RF) technology, minimizing the need for wired connections.
Wireless LANs use Access Points (see section

B.3: ‘The Access

Point’ on page 52

) to connect computers to each other and to the wired

network.

Through Wireless LANs, you can access shared information without
looking for a place to plug in. A network administrators can install or
expand networks without installing or moving wires.

A wireless LAN is transparent: applications function just like they would
on a wired LAN.

Most importantly: to use a wireless LAN, you do not need to be an
expert. All you have to do is to find an Access Point in the range of your
laptop and connect.
