3. The ability to access real-time informatios
Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can access real-time
information while
dealing with patients, serving customers and processing information.
4. Frequently changed environments
Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where frequently rearrange
the workplace.
5. Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) networks
SOHO users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small network.
6. Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks
Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead caused by moves,
extensions to
networks, and other changes with wireless LANs.
7. Wired LAN backup
Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for mission-critical applications
running
on wired networks.
8. Training/Educational Facilities
Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless connectivity to ease
access to information, information exchanges, and learning.
1-6 Network Configurations
To better understand how the wireless LAN products work together to create a wireless network,
it might be helpful to depict a few of the possible wireless LAN PC card network configurations.
The wireless LAN
products can be configured as:
1. Ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) for departmental or SOHO LANs.
2. Infrastructure for enterprise LANs.
3. IP Sharing for 56K/ISDN TA/Cable/DSL Modem – Connect Internet and your SOHO network.
Ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) Mode
This is the simplest network configuration that several computers equipped with the PC Cards
that form a
wireless network whenever they are within range of one another ( Figure 1-2 ). In ad-hoc mode,
each client, is peer-to-peer, would only have access to the resources of the other client and
requires no the access point. This is the easiest and least expensive way for the SOHO to set
