Infrastructure Wireless LAN
The SMC2802WV.2 also provides wireless workstations with
access to a wired LAN. An integrated wired and wireless LAN is
called an Infrastructure configuration. A Basic Service Set (BSS)
consists of a group of wireless PC users and an access point
that is directly connected to the wired LAN. Each wireless PC in
this BSS can talk to any computer in its wireless group via a
radio link, or access other computers or network resources in the
wired LAN Infrastructure via the access point.
The Infrastructure configuration not only extends the accessibility
of wireless PCs to the wired LAN, but also extends the effective
wireless transmission range for wireless PCs by passing their
signal through one or more access points.
A wireless Infrastructure can be used for access to a central
database, or for connection between mobile workers, as shown
in the following figure.
