Infrastructure Wireless LAN for Roaming Wireless PCs
The Basic Service Set (BSS) is the communications domain for
each wireless access point. For wireless PCs that do not need to
support roaming, set the domain identifier (SSID) for the wireless
card to the SSID of the access point to which you want to
connect. Check with your administrator for the SSID of the access
point or bridge to which he wants you to connect.
A wireless infrastructure can also support roaming for mobile
workers. More than one access point can be configured to create
an Extended Service Set (ESS). By placing the access points so
that a continuous coverage area is created, wireless users within
this ESS can roam freely. All SMC wireless network cards and
adapters and SMC2555W-AG wireless access points within a
specific ESS must be configured with the same SSID.
