User Manual

WA3001 used in the BSS. Check your WA3001 for its BSS ID or use the Access Point Browser

Utility program to determine the BSS ID.

The Infrastructure Wireless LAN configuration is appropriate for enterprise-scale wireless access to

a central database, or as a wireless application for mobile users.

A point-to-point LAN configuration is possible when two access points are linked with an optional

directional antenna (the directional antenna is an optional accessory, please contact your dealer for

information). The optional directional antenna makes LAN-Interconnection to a wireless backbone

between buildings possible.

2-2 ROAMING

Infrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities for mobile users. More than one BSS can be

configured as an Extended Service Set (ESS). The continuous network allows users to roam freely

within an ESS. All WN03301F PCs and WA3001s within one ESS must be configured with the

same ESS ID and use the same radio channel.

Before enabling an ESS with roaming capability, choosing a feasible radio channel and optimum

Access Point position is recommended. Proper Access Point positioning combined with a clear

radio signal will greatly enhance performance.
