connection or delay in accessing the resources of the network. • Scanning, Beaconing & ESS ID When a wireless client is initialized, it is necessary for it to find and communicate with the correct group of wireless devices, including AP. At this point, it may search for all the frequency channels and this process is called scanning. There may be multiple APs and networks operating at the same time. It may be necessary to ensure that the station joins with the correct network during the scanning process.
• The function of the MagicLAN Access Point is to transfer information from a wired LAN to a wireless LAN and vice versa. When operating, the MagicLAN AP is invisible to most users (Normally, unless the user is an administrator, the MagicLAN AP cannot be seen or accessed by users on the network). • The SWL-2300U both for Laptop PC and Desktop PC is small and portable as a roaming function is provided for users who need network services while maintaining mobility.
