Fig. 2 - Infrastructure Wireless LAN Configuration
The GL2411V4-0I provides access to a wired LAN for wireless workstations. An integrated wireless
and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. A group of GL2411V4-0I 11Mbps RF
Module users and an Access Point compose a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each GL2411V4-0I
PC11Mbps RF Module 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 GL2411V4-0I equipped
PC to a wired LAN, and doubles the effective wireless transmission range for 2 GL2411V4-0I PCs.
Since the Access Point is able to forward data within its BSS, the effective transmission range in an
infrastructure LAN is doubled.

Fig. 3 - The effective Transmission Range
The use of a unique ID in a BSS is essential. All GL2411V4-0I equipped 11Mbps RF Module
configured without roaming options in an independent BSS must be configured with a BSS ID
corresponding to the GL-2411AP used in the BSS. Check your GL-2411AP for its BSS ID or use
the Access Point Browser Utility program to determine the BSS ID.
The Infrastructure Wireless LAN configuration is appropriate for enterprise-scale wireless access to
a central database, or as a wireless application for mobile users.
A point-to-point LAN configuration is possible when two access points are linked with an optional
directional antenna (the directional antenna is an optional accessory, please contact your dealer for
