The Infrastructure Wireless LAN configuration is appropriate for enterprise-scale wireless access
to a central database, or as a wireless application for mobile users.
Infrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities for mobile users. More than one BSS can
be configured as an Extended Service Set (ESS). The continuous network allows users to roam
freely within an ESS. All WL-U351 PCs or other IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless adapter within
one ESS must be configured with the same ESS ID and use the same radio channel.
Before enabling an ESS with roaming capability, choosing a feasible radio channel and optimum
Access Point position is recommended. Proper Access Point positioning combined with a clear
radio signal will greatly enhance performance.
Ad-Hoc
An Ad-Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with one WL-U351 adapter or
other wireless adapters, connected as an independent wireless LAN. Computers in a specific
Ad-Hoc wireless LAN must be configured to share the same radio channel.
Ad-Hoc wireless LAN configurations are appropriate for branch level departments or SOHO
operations.
WL-U351 offers a fast, reliable, cost-effective solution for wireless client access to the network in
applications like these:
1. Remote access to corporate network information
E-mail, file transfer and terminal emulation.
2. Difficult-to-wire environments
Historical or old buildings, asbestos installations, and open area where wiring is difficult to
employ.
