Network Configuration
The wireless solution supports a stand-alone wireless network
configuration as well as an integrated configuration with
10/100 Mbps Ethernet LANs.
Wireless network cards, adapters, and access points can be
configured as:
• Ad hoc for departmental, SOHO, or enterprise LANs
•
Infrastructure for wireless LANs
• Infrastructure wireless LAN for roaming wireless PCs
The 802.11b and 802.11g frequency band which operates at
2.4 GHz can easily encounter interference from other 2.4 GHz
devices, such as other 802.11b or g wireless devices, cordless
phones and microwave ovens. If you experience poor wireless
LAN performance, try the following measures:
•
Limit any possible sources of radio interference within the
service area
•
Increase the distance between neighboring access points to
reduce interference
•
Increase the channel separation of neighboring access points
(e.g., up to 3 channels of separation for 802.11b, up to 4
channels for 802.11a, or up to 5 channels for 802.11g)
