What is Wireless LAN?
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.

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.
