Setting the Communication Domain
Stationary Wireless PCs The Basic Service Set (BSS) is the
communication domain for each SMC2652W access point. For
wireless PCs that do not need to support roaming, set the domain
identifier (SSID) for the wireless card to the BSS ID of the access
point you want to connect to. Check with your administrator for
the BSS ID of the SMC2652W access point he wants you to connect
to. Roaming Wireless PCs
A wireless infrastructure can also support roaming for mobile
workers. More than one access point can be configured to create
an Extended Service Set (ESS). By placing the access points so
that a continuous coverage area is created, wireless users within
this ESS can roam freely.
Before setting up an ESS for roaming, you need to choose a clear
radio channel and ideal location for the SMC2652W access points
to maximize performance.
