Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet and RangeboosterChapter 2: Planning Your Wireless NetworkNetwork TopologyA wireless network is a group of computers, each equipped with one or more wireless adapters. Computers in awireless network must be configured to share the same radio channel to talk to each other. Several PCs equippedwith wireless cards or adapters can communicate with each other to form an ad-hoc network without the use ofan access point.Linksys also provides products to allow wireless adaptors to access wired network through a bridge such as thewireless access point, or wireless router. An integrated wireless and wired network is called an infrastructurenetwork. Each wireless PC in an infrastructure network can talk to any computer in a wired or wireless networkvia the access point or wireless router.ad-hoc: a group of wireless devices communicating directlywith each other (peer-to-peer) without the use of an accesspoint.infrastructure: a wireless network that is bridged to a wirednetwork via an access point.An infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of a wireless PC to a wired network, and may double theeffective wireless transmission range for two wireless adapter PCs. Since an Access Point is able to forward datawithin a network, the effective transmission range in an infrastructure network may be more than doubled sinceAccess Point can transmit signal at higher power to the wireless space.RoamingInfrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities for mobile users. Roaming means that you can move yourwireless PC within your network and the access points will pick up the wireless PC's signal, providing that theyboth share the same wireless network (SSID), wireless channel, and wireless security settings.This Access Point has 802.11F Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) to complete the roaming process in seconds. Ifyour wireless networks share the same IP subnet, this will not disrupt your data connection while moving around.roaming: the ability to take a wireless device from oneaccess point's range to another without losing theconnection.ssid: your wireless network's nameBefore you consider roaming, choose a feasible radio channel and optimum access point position. Proper accesspoint positioning combined with a clear radio signal will greatly enhance performance.Chapter 2: Planning Your Wireless NetworkNetwork Topology4
Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet and RangeboosterNetwork LayoutThe Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet and Rangebooster has been designed for use with802.11g and 802.11b products. The Access Point is compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b adapters, such as thenotebook adapters for your laptop computers, PCI adapters for your desktop PCs, and USB adapters for all PCswhen you want to enjoy wireless connectivity. These wireless products can also communicate with an 802.11g or802.11b wireless print server (if available).To link your wired network with your wireless network, connect the Access Point’s Ethernet network port to anyswitch or router with Power over Ethernet (PoE)—or a PoE injector, such as the Linksys WAPPOE or WAPPOE12.Note that the 12 VDC on the WAPPOE12 is for the splitter output. Both PoE Injectors provide 48 VDC power output.With these, and many other, Linksys products, your networking options are limitless.
