Fig. 2 - Infrastructure Wireless LAN Configuration
The WL11000 provides access to a wired LAN for wireless workstations. An integrated wireless and
wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. A group of WL11000 PC users and an Access
Point compose a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each WL11000 PC in a BSS can talk to any computer in
the wired LAN infrastructure via the Access Point.
An Infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of a WL11000 equipped PC to a wired LAN,
and doubles the effective wireless transmission range for 2 WL11000 PCs. Since the Access Point
is able to forward data within its BSS, the effective transmission range in an infrastructure LAN is
doubled
.
