3. Wireless Basics

TRENDware

wireless products are based on industry standards to provide

easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home,

business or wherever a wireless network is available. Strictly adhering to the IEEE

standard, the TRENDware wireless family of products will allow you to access the

data you want, when and where you want it. No longer will you be limited to one

location or forced to run new wiring through your home or office. You will be able to

enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.

A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that

transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. Wireless LANs are

used increasingly in both home and office environments, and public areas such as

airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology

are helping people to work and communicate more efficiently. Increased mobility

with the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure have proven to be

beneficial for many users.

Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network.

Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems, support the same

protocols as Ethernet adapter cards. For most users, there is no noticeable

functional difference between a wired Ethernet desktop computer and a wireless

computer equipped with a wireless adapter other than the added benefit of the ability

to roam within a wireless-cell. Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for

mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to use

servers, printers or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A

Wireless Access Point (AP) is a device used to provide this link.

People use wireless LAN technology for many different purposes.

Mobility -

Productivity increases when people have access to data in any

location within the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions based

on real-time information can significantly improve worker efficiency.

Low Implementation Costs

WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks) are easy

to set up, manage, change and relocate. Networks that frequently change, both

physically and logically, can benefit from WLANs ease of implementation.

WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be impractical.

Installation Speed and Simplicity

- Installing a wireless LAN system can be

fast and easy and can eliminate the need to install cable through walls and

ceilings.

Network Expansion

- Wireless technology allows the network to go where

wires cannot go.

Reduced Cost-of-Ownership

- While the initial investment required for

Wireless LAN hardware might be higher than the cost of wired LAN

hardware, overall installation expenses and life-cycle costs will be

significantly lower. Long-term cost benefits are greatest in dynamic

environments requiring frequent moves, adds, and changes.

Scalability

- Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) can be configured in a

variety of topologies to meet the needs of specific applications and

installations. Configurations are easily changed and range from peer-to-peer

networks suitable for a small number of users to full infrastructure networks

of thousands of users that allow roaming over a broad area.

Standards - Based Technology

The IEEE802.11b standard-based technology assures that the TRENDware

Products are interoperable with existing compatible 2.4GHz wireless

technology.

This means you will be able to transfer large files quickly or even

watch a movie in MPEG format over your network without noticeable delays. The

technology works by using multiple frequencies in the 2.4GHz range at speeds

up to 22Mbps. TRENDware products will automatically sense the best possible

connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible with the

technology.

Installation Considerations

Designed to go up to 1,312 feet (400 meters) outdoors and up to 328 feet (100

meters) indoors, the TRENDware TEW-3

10APB

lets you access your network

with your laptop computer from virtually anywhere. Keep in mind,

However,that the number, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings or other

objects that the wireless signal must pass thru may limit range. Typical ranges

vary depending on the types of materials and any background RF (radio

frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing range is to

follow these basic guidelines:

1.

Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the wireless Access

Point and your receiving device to a minimum - Each wall or ceiling can

reduce your TRENDnet Wireless product's range from 3-90 feet (1-30

meters.) Position your Access Points, Internet Routers, and computers

so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

2. Be aware of the direct line between Access Points, Internet Routers, and

computers. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle

appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks

over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Try to make sure that the Access Points

and Adapters are positioned so that the signal will travel straight through

a wall or ceiling for better reception.

3. Building Materials make a difference - A solid metal door or aluminum

studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position Access

Points, and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes

through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.

4. Make sure that the device's antenna is positioned for best reception by

using the software signal strength tools included with your product.

5. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical

devices or appliances that may generate extreme RF noise.

For the average home, signal range should not be an issue. If you experience

low or no signal strength in areas of your home that you wish to access, consider

positioning the Access Point in a location directly between the computers with

wireless adapters. Additional Access Points can be connected to provide better

coverage in rooms where the signal does not appear as strong as desired.

Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks)

transmit and receive data over the air, minimizing the need for wired

connections. Thus, WLANs combine data connectivity with user mobility, and,

through simplified configuration, enable movable LANs.
