Chapter 1: Introduction
r
Tailor-made for the home or small office network, the Wireless Ethernet Bridge
extends wireless connectivity to any Ethernet-ready network device, such as a
printer, scanner, desktop or notebook PC. The Wireless Ethernet Bridge simply
and efficiently transmits data between your wired Ethernet and wireless net-
works.
The Wireless Ethernet Bridge gives you the freedom to place any standard net-
work resource virtually anywhere in your office.
Based on signal strength, it dynamically shifts between 11, 5.5, 2, and 1Mbps
network speeds for maximum availability and reliability of connection. So
you’ve got the flexibility and performance you need from your wireless net-
work.

Chapter 3: Planning Your
Wireless Network
Network Topology
A wireless LAN is exactly like a regular LAN, except that each network device
in the LAN uses a Wireless Ethernet Bridge to connect to the network without
using wires. Computers in a wireless LAN must be configured to share the
same radio channel.
The Wireless Ethernet Bridge provides LAN access for wireless network
devices. An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure con-
figuration. A group of Wireless Ethernet Bridge users and an access point com-
pose a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each PC equipped with an Wireless Ethernet
Bridge in a BSS can talk to any computer in a wired LAN infrastructure via the
Bridge.
An infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of a Wireless Ethernet
Bridge to a wired LAN, and doubles the effective wireless transmission range
for two Wireless Ethernet Bridge PCs. Since the access point is able to forward
data within its BSS, the effective transmission range in an infrastructure LAN
is doubled.
The use of a unique ID in a Basic Service Set is essential.
The Wireless LAN infrastructure configuration is appropriate for enterprise-
scale wireless access to a central database, or as a wireless application for
mobile users.
Infrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities for mobile users. More
than one BSS can be configured as an Extended Service Set (ESS). This con-
tinuous network allows users to roam freely within an ESS. All Wireless
Ethernet Bridge PCs within one Extended Service Set must be configured with
the same SSID.
Selecting a feasible radio channel and optimum access point position is rec-
ommended. Proper access point positioning combined with a clear radio signal
will greatly enhance performance.
