1.4.1 Quick Review of Ethernet
Standard Ethernet LAN stations are wired to a common bus. When one of the
stations sends a message, it assigns a destination address to the message and sends
the message on the bus. All stations on the bus “hear” the message, but only the
station with the proper address processes the message.
1.4.2 WBS-DS.11 Wireless Base Station
The WBS-DS.11 enables 802.11 access to 802.3 (Ethernet) and guarantees inter-
station communication.
