Network Configuration
The Dual-band Outdoor Access Point / Bridge system provides
access point or bridging services through either the 5 GHz or 2.4
GHz radio interfaces.
The wireless bridge units can be used just as normal 802.11a/b/g
access points connected to a local wired LAN, providing
connectivity and roaming services for wireless clients in an
outdoor area. Units can also be used purely as bridges
connecting remote LANs. Alternatively, you can employ both
access point and bridging functions together, offering a flexible
and convenient wireless solution for many applications.
This chapter describes the role of wireless bridge in various
wireless network configurations.
Access Point Topologies
Wireless networks support a stand-alone wireless configuration
as well as an integrated configuration with 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
LANs.
Wireless network cards, adapters, and access points can be
configured as:
•
Ad hoc for departmental, SOHO, or enterprise LANs
•
Infrastructure for wireless LANs
•
Infrastructure wireless LAN for roaming wireless PCs
