Wireless LAN Basics
This section conations some Wireless LAN basics to help you better understand how the product work together to create a wireless network.
Local Area Network (LAN)
Simply put, a LAN is a network that exists in a relatively limited area. A network is two or more computers connected together sharing files and
peripheral devices such as printers.
The Wireless LAN Card allows you to interact with other computers without having to run cables normally associated with networks. This lets you
move your computer around while staying connected to your network.
There are two ways to use the Wireless LAN Card. One way is to connect directly to one or more Wireless LAN Card equipped computers, forming an
Ad-Hoc wireless network. The second way is to connect to an Access Point that gives you access to an existing wired LAN, forming an Infrastructure
wireless network.
Ad-Hoc Mode
The Ad-Hoc Group offers peer-to-peer connections between workstations, allowing communication between computers within range that have an
802.11g DSSS compatible PC card installed. A wireless Ad-Hoc network can also access a wired LAN’s TCP/IP service (such as e-mail and the
Internet) by using a TCP/IP software router on an Ethernet equipped PowerBook or notebook.
