What is Wireless LAN
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) systems offer a great number
of
advantages
over traditional wired systems. WLAN is flexible and easy to
setup
and manage. They
are also more economical than wired LAN
systems.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLAN transmit and receive data
through
the air.
WLAN 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 WLAN, 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:
WLAN 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:
WLAN 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.

SMCD3GNV5 Administrator Manual
Wireless LAN Modes
Wireless LANs can be configured in one of two
ways:
1.
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.
2.
Infrasture Networking
Infrastructure networking differs from
ad-hoc networking
in that it includes an access point.
Unlike
the ad-hoc 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.

SMCD3GNV5 Administrator Manual
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
Adapters
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.
