1PC54G (MS-6825) - Wireless 11g PCI CardPC54G (MS-6825) Wireless 11g PCI Card, compliantwith IEEE802.11g, is a high-efficiency wireless adapterfor wireless networking at home, in office or in publicplaces. The data transmission rate can be up to 54Mbps and auto-negotiated to 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, 6 Mbps(IEEE802.11g), or 11, 5.5, 2, 1 Mbps (IEEE802.11b).With PC54G (MS-6825), you can roam between confer-ence room and office without being disconnected theLAN cables; in addition, sharing files and printers can beeasy tasks.The PC54G (MS-6825) is available to Microsoft Windowsoperating systems (Windows® XP/2000/ME/98SE) andcan be integrated into networking with either Ad-hocmode (computer-to-computer, without an Access Point) orInfrastructure mode (computer-to-access point, anAccess Point is required). >>> 1.1Introduction
2How PC54G (MS-6825) worksAd-hoc Mode : An Ad-hoc network is a local area network,especially one with wireless or temporary plug-in con-nections. Therefore, some of the network devices arepart of the network only for the duration of a communica-tions session. Users in the network can share files, printto a shared printer, and access the Internet with a sharedGateway or Access Point. In this kind of network, newdevices can be quickly added; however, users can onlycommunicate with other wireless LAN devices that are inthis wireless LAN workgroup, and are within range.>>> 1.2(MS-6825)
3Infrastructure Mode : The difference between Infrastruc-ture network and Ad-hoc network is that the former oneincludes an Access Point. In network environment, theAccess Point can manage the bandwidth to maximizebandwidth utilization. Moreover, the Access Point enablesusers on a wireless LAN to access an existing wirednetwork, allowing wireless users to take advantage of thewired networks resources, such as Internet, email, filetransfer, and printer sharing. The scale and range of theInfrastructure networking are larger and wider than that ofthe Ad-hoc networking.(MS-6825)
