Wireless LAN Network Wireless LAN Network Wireless LAN Network Wireless LAN Network 1111.1 Overview .1 Overview .1 Overview .1 Overview This section describes the wireless LAN network terms and applications. 1111.1.1 SSID .1.1 SSID .1.1 SSID .1.1 SSID The SSID (Service Set Identity) is a unique name shared among all wireless devices in a wireless network. Wireless devices must have the same SSID to communicate with each other. 1111.1.2 Channel .1.2 Channel .1.2 Channel .1.2 Channel A radio frequency used by a wireless device is called a channel. 1111.1.3 Transmission Rate (Tx Rate) .1.3 Transmission Rate (Tx Rate) .1.3 Transmission Rate (Tx Rate) .1.3 Transmission Rate (Tx Rate) The 802.11b/g Wireless Card802.11b/g Wireless Card802.11b/g Wireless Card802.11b/g Wireless Card provides various transmission (data) rate options for you to select. Options include Auto, 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 11 Mbps, 6 Mbps, 9 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 18 Mbps,Auto, 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 11 Mbps, 6 Mbps, 9 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 18 Mbps,Auto, 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 11 Mbps, 6 Mbps, 9 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 18 Mbps,Auto, 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 11 Mbps, 6 Mbps, 9 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 18 Mbps, 24 24 24 24 Mbps, 36 Mbps, 48 Mbps, and 54 MbpsMbps, 36 Mbps, 48 Mbps, and 54 MbpsMbps, 36 Mbps, 48 Mbps, and 54 MbpsMbps, 36 Mbps, 48 Mbps, and 54 Mbps. In most networking scenarios, the factory default Auto setting proves the most efficient. This setting allows your WLAN WLAN WLAN WLAN AdapterAdapterAdapterAdapter to operate at the maximum transmission (data) rate. When the communication quality drops below a certain level, the WLAN WLAN WLAN WLAN AdapterAdapterAdapterAdapter automatically switches to a lower transmission (data) rate. Transmission at lower data speeds is usually more reliable. However, when the communication quality improves again, the WLAN WLAN WLAN WLAN AdapterAdapterAdapterAdapter gradually increases the transmission (data) rate again until it reaches the highest available transmission rate. You can select any of the above options. If you wish to balance speed versus reliability, select 48 Mbps or 54 Mbps in a networking environment where you are certain that all wireless devices can communicate at the highest transmission (data) rate. 1 Mbps or 2 Mbps are used often in networking environments where the range of the wireless connection is more important than speed. 1111.1.4 Wireless Network Application .1.4 Wireless Network Application .1.4 Wireless Network Application .1.4 Wireless Network Application Wireless LAN works in either of the two modes: ad-hoc and infrastructure. To connect to a wired network within a coverage area using Access Points (APs), set the WLAN Adapter operation mode to Infrastructure (BSS). An AP acts as a bridge between the wireless stations and the wired network. In case you do not wish to connect to a wired network, but prefer to set up a small independent wireless workgroup without an AP, use the Ad-hoc (IBSS) (Independent Basic Service Set) mode. AdAdAdAd----Hoc (IBSS) Hoc (IBSS) Hoc (IBSS) Hoc (IBSS) Ad-hoc mode does not require an AP or a wired network. Two or more wireless stations communicate directly to each other. An ad-hoc network may sometimes be referred to as an Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS).

802.11b/g Wireless Card User Manual 7 Computer 1 Computer 2 AP MODE A series of overlapping BSS and a network medium, such as an Ethernet forms an Extended Service Set (ESS) or infrastructure network. All communication is done through the AP, which relays data packets to other wireless stations or devices connected to the wired network. Wireless stations can then access resource, such as the printer, on the wired network. Access Point ModeAccess Point ModeAccess Point ModeAccess Point Mode The following figure depicts a network example in which you set the WLAN Adapter in access point mode. In the example, the WLAN Adapter is installed on computer A and set to operate in access point mode. Computer 1 shares Internet connection to the wireless LAN, so wireless computer 2 and 3 can access the Internet. ESS BSS1 BSS2 Ad-Hoc (IBSS) BSS
