DETAIL
Infrastructure
mode
Terminology:
Infrastructure mode is
referred to as a "basic
service set" (BSS). It's
topology is sometimes
called a "star topology",
and it may also be called
"enterprise mode"
because it is the preferred
topology for large
networks. On a network
of Apple Macintosh
computers, it may be
called an "Airport
network".
Topology: In
infrastructure mode, all
signals travel through an
access point. Like the hub
in a wired LAN, the access
point re-sends the
incoming signals out to
the computers and other
devices on the network.
(The access point
performs additional
functions when a wireless
LAN is connected to a
wired LAN.)
Infrastructure mode is
suitable for wireless LANs
of all sizes.
