Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) systems offer a great number of advantages over traditional wired systems. WLANs are flexible and easy to setup and manage. They are also more economical than wired LAN systems. Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLANs transmit and receive data through the air. WLANs combine data connectivity with user mobility. For example, users can roam from a conference room to their office without being disconnected from the LAN. Using WLANs, users can conveniently access shared information, and network administrators can configure and augment networks without installing or moving network cables. WLAN technology provides users with many convenient and cost saving features: Mobility: WLANs provide LAN users with access to real-time information anywhere in their organization, providing service opportunities that are impossible with wired networks. Ease of Installation: Installing is easy for novice and expert users alike, eliminating the need to install network cables in walls and ceilings. Scalability: WLANs can be configured in a variety of topologies to adapt to specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and range from peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number of users to full infrastructure networks of thousands of users roaming over a broad area. LAN Modes Wireless LANs can be configured in one of two ways: Table 1: LAN modes Ad-hoc Networking Also known as a peer-to-peer network, an ad-hoc network is one that allows all workstations and computers in the network to act as servers to all other users on the network. Users on the network can share files, print to a shared printer, and access the Internet with a shared modem. However, with ad-hoc networking, users can only communicate with other wireless LAN computers that are in the wireless LAN workgroup, and are within range. Infrastructure Networking Infrastructure networking differs from ad-hoc networking in that it includes an access point. Unlike the adhoc structure where users on the LAN contend the shared bandwidth, on an infrastructure network the access point can manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization. Additionally, the access point enables users on a wireless LAN to access an existing wired network, allowing wireless users to take advantage of the wired networks resources, such as Internet, email, file transfer, and printer sharing. Infrastructure networking has the following advantages over ad-hoc networking: Extended range: each wireless LAN computer within the range of the access point can communicate with other wireless LAN computers within range of the access point. Roaming: the access point enables a wireless LAN computer to move through a building and still be connected to the LAN. Wired to wireless LAN connectivity: the access point bridges the gap between wireless LANs and their wired counterparts. —Introduction Notes on wireless LAN configuration When configuring a wireless LAN (WLAN), be sure to note the following points: Optimize the performance of the WLAN by ensuring that the distance between access points is not too far. In most buildings, WLAN cards operate within a range of 100 ~ 300 feet, depending on the thickness and structure of the walls. Radio waves can pass through walls and glass but not metal. If there is interference in transmitting through a wall, it may be that the wall has reinforcing metal in its structure. Install another access point to circumvent this problem. Floors usually have metal girders and metal reinforcing struts that interfere with WLAN transmission.

Appendix B Error Messages of Enabler Program Field Description Network Type Type of environment connected to: • Infrastructure Mode In this mode, wireless clients send and receive information through APs. When a wireless client communicates with another, it transmits to the AP. First the AP receives the information and rebroadcasts it, then other devices receive the information. The APs are strategically located within an area to provide optimal coverage for wireless clients. A large WLAN uses multiple APs to provide coverage over a wide area. APs can connect to a LAN through a wired Ethernet connection. APs send and receive information from the LAN through the wired connection. • Ad-Hoc Mode In this mode, wireless clients send and receive information to other wireless clients without using an AP. This type of WLAN only contains wireless clients. Use Ad-Hoc mode to connect network computers at home or in small office, or to set up a temporary wireless network for a meeting. Network Basic Service Set Identifier. The BSSID is a 48-bit identity used to identify a particular BSS within an area. In Infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID is the MAC address of the AP. In independent BSS or Ad-Hoc networks, the BSSID is generated randomly. Network BSSID Security Tx/Rx Rates Reports the type and level of security set.
