3-6 Using the ZyAIR Utility
Figure 3-4 Ad-hoc Network Example
To set up an ad-hoc network, configure all wireless clients in ad-hoc network type
and use the same SSID and channel.
3.5.2 Infrastructure
When a number of wireless clients are connected using a single AP, you have a Basic Service Set (BSS).
Figure 3-5 BSS Example
A series of overlapping BSS and a network medium, such as an Ethernet forms an Extended Service Set
(ESS) or infrastructure network. All communication is done through the AP, which relays data packets to
other wireless clients or devices connected to the wired network. Wireless clients can then access resource,
such as the printer, on the wired network.
