Designing and Implementing
a Wireless Network
The first step in designing a wireless network is to determine which network configuration
best fits your needs. The wireless network configurations are discussed in
Chapter 1 . Once
you have chosen a configuration, this chapter lists the various site requirements necessary
for each type of network.
Some of the features listed are not available with earlier versions of the AP and the PC Card
driver. Review the Release Notes to determine if a feature is supported by your AP version
and client version.
