Fig. 2 - Infrastructure Wireless LAN Configuration
The GL-241102 provides access to a wired LAN for wireless workstations. An integrated wireless
and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. A group of GL-241102 PC users and an
Access Point compose a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each GL-241102 PC in a BSS can talk to any
computer in the wired LAN infrastructure via the Access Point.
An Infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of a GL-241102 equipped PC to a wired
LAN, and doubles the effective wireless transmission range for 2 GL-241102 PCs. Since the
Access Point is able to forward data within its BSS, the effective transmission range in an
infrastructure LAN is
doubled
.

The use of a unique ID in a BSS is essential. All GL-241102 equipped PCs configured without
roaming options in an independent BSS must be configured with a BSS ID corresponding to the
GL-241102SA used in the BSS. Check your GL-241102SA for its BSS ID or use the Access Point
Browser Utility program to determine the BSS ID.
