Basic Network Configuration
Introduction
This chapter will describe how to configure the 11Mbps Wireless LAN network
for:
■
Peer-to-Peer workgroups, and
■
Infrastructure networks
Peer-to-Peer Workgroups
A Peer-to-Peer workgroup consists of several wireless stations communicating
directly with each other without bridging data via the Access Point (see
Figure 4-1).
To set up a Peer-to-Peer workgroup operating with the standard protocols, do the
following:
■
Set all stations to connect to a Peer-to-Peer workgroup.
■
Set all stations to use the same Network Name.
■
Set all stations to use an identical encryption key.
For more information to “Peer-to-Peer Workgroup” on page2-1.

Infrastructure Networks
The number of network configurations that you could create using Access Points
and 11Mbps Wireless LAN products is unlimited. Therefore, we have divided
the rest of this chapter into three sections that should help you get your network
up and running.
