Example configurations
In this chapter we present two examples of the use of ELSA AirLancer MC-2.
Additional application examples and information on configuring the base stations can be
found in the electronic documentation on the CD.
Direct PC connection
Even small companies, branches and offices with small numbers of employees are
increasingly using their computer workstations not simply as isolated solutions but they
are also linking the individual computers, printers etc. to form a common structure, a
network.
The Windows operating systems, used in most cases, include everything required for
connecting several computers to a network. The wireless network cards from ELSA even
make it unnecessary to wire the computers together. A small Windows network in which
every computer can have “wireless” access to the released files, folders and printers on
the other computers can be set up very quickly.
For example: In an architect's office
We shall take a small architectural office as an example of a peer-to-peer network (or ad
hoc network). Two architects and one assistant work in the office. Each of the three has
a desktop PC, and a printer, used by all three, is connected to the assistant's computer.
The two architects also have notebook computers to keep them up to date with outside
appointments. It should be possible to exchange data between the notebooks and the
desktop PCs and the notebooks should also be able to access the printer quickly at any
time.
In this case all computers are fitted with
ELSA AirLancer MC-2 wireless network cards,
and the desktop PCs are also fitted with the ELSA AirLancer ISA-2 PCMCIA adapters.
