Infrastructure (Standard Mode)
This mode allows the use of multiple AP's to configure wide-area
wireless LAN's. All communication between wireless terminals
must go through an AP.

Figure 3.2. Infrastructure Mode
In Infrastructure (standard mode) as shown above, all wireless
terminals communicate through unit type AP's. Roaming
functions are supported, allowing log-in on any unit type AP.
･ Advantages
(1) Allows multiple AP's to be set up to configure wide-are
wireless LAN's.
(2) Allows log-in restrictions on unit type AP's (security function).
･ Disadvantages
(1) All AP's must be IP controlled, requiring many settings.
