Point-to-Multipoint LAN Connections
When connecting three or more LANs, each building
requires an Aironet Access Point and antenna. This is
called a Multipoint Access Point Configuration. One Access
Point is designated as the central site. Its antenna is config-
ured to transmit and receive signals from Access Points at
other locations within the facility. Generally, the central site
is equipped with an omni-directional antenna that provides
radio signal coverage in all directions. The other Access
Points are typically served by directional antennas that
direct radio signals toward the central site.
Under a Multipoint Access Point Configuration,
workstations on any of the LANs can communicate with
other workstations or with any workstations on the remote
LANs.
