1-3 System Configurations
The 11Mbps Wireless LAN ODU can be configured in a variety of network system
configurations.
Wireless Infrastructure
In a wireless infrastructure, the ODU can act as a bridge. The ODU connects the wireless
clients together. The ODU acts as a center point for all wireless communications. This
would increase efficiency of the communications since the wireless adapters do not need to be
within direct range of each other.
Wireless Infrastructure with Stations Attaching to a Wired LAN
The 11Mbps Wireless LAN ODU will provide an access to the local LAN. An integration of
wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. A group of wireless LAN
PC users and an ODU construct a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each wireless PC in this BSS
can talk to each other on your network via the ODU.
