The Infrastructure Wireless LAN configuration is appropriate for enterprise-scale wireless access to
a central database, or as a wireless application for mobile users.
A point-to-point LAN configuration is possible when two access points are linked with an optional
directional antenna (the directional antenna is an optional accessory, please contact your dealer for

configured as an Extended Service Set (ESS). The continuous network allows users to roam freely
within an ESS. All GL-241101 PCs and GL-241101SAs within one ESS must be configured with the
same ESS ID and use the same radio channel.

Before enabling an ESS with roaming capability, choosing a feasible radio channel and optimum
