Figure 1.3 - Wireless Infrastructure

In a wireless infrastructure, an Aironet Access Point is used as a

stand-alone root unit. The root unit is not attached to any wired

LAN (such as an Ethernet or Token Ring LAN), but functions as

a hub linking all stations together. This configuration is similar

to the ad hoc network, except the Aironet Access Point serves as

the focal point for communications. This increases the effective

communication range over the ad hoc LAN since both PC3500

stations are not required to be in direct communication range of

each other.
