Fig An Example of Infrastructure Wireless LAN
The 11Mbps Wireless LAN device provides access to a wired LAN for wireless workstations.
An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. A group of
wireless LAN PC users and an WL1100B-AR Wireless LAN Access Router construct a Basic
Service Set (BSS). Each wireless-equipped PC in this BSS can talk to any computer in the
wired LAN infrastructure via the WL1100B-AR Wireless LAN Access Router.
Infrastructure configuration will extend the accessibility of a wireless station to the wired
LAN. Multiple WL1100B-AR Wireless LAN Access Routers will allow roaming and it will
increase the transmission range. The WL1100B-AR Wireless LAN Access Router is also
able to forward data within its BSS. The effective transmission range in an infrastructure
LAN is doubled.
