4.2 Single Access Point Network
In a small environment, you can set up a wireless network using a single Access Point
and one or more Wireless PCI Module. This type of network provides a coverage area
sufficient to satisfy the network requirements for many homes and small businesses.
The Access Point connects your network computers to an existing network. Once this
“
infrastructure
” is in place, you can easily add computers to the network by simply
configuring the Wireless PCI Module in those computers. This eliminates the time
and expense of running costly cables throughout your network. Notebook users are
now free to roam from office to conference room or from kitchen to outdoor patio.
To create a single Access Point network, the Access Point must be connected to a
router and a cable modem or a DSL modem. This connection lets the wireless network
access the wired network in your home or office and the Internet. Position the Access
Point in the center of your network. If you experience a weak signal or no signal at all
from an outer computer, move the computer with the Wireless PCI Module closer to
the Access Point or position the Access Point closer to the computer.
Many manufacturers now offer wireless routers, which combine the Access Point and
router in one box. Note that the Access Point and PCI Modules must have the same
security settings to communicate. The Wireless PCI Module supports all types of
Access Points, including 802.11b and 802.11g.
