A Micro-Cellular Network can be created by placing two or more Access Points on an
Ethernet LAN, and allowing remote workstations equipped with Aironet Client Cards to
register to the Access Points. The ARLAN protocols allow remote workstations to move
from the domain of one microcell to another. The process is seamless and transparent,
and the connection to the File Server or host is maintained without disruption. This con-
figuration is particularly useful with portable or mobile workstations.

shows multiple microcells created by placing two Access Points on the
Ethernet LAN. The two remote Aironet Client Cards then register with the Access
Points allowing communication with each other or with the File Server on the LAN.
