Wireless Access to Ethernet
Networks
Connecting Base Stations to an Ethernet network, as pictured in Figure 2-3,
allows you to:
! Create a wireless environment for mobile computers
–Or–
! Connect a number of stations (mobile and/or desktop) to an existing
ethernet infrastructure, creating a larger coverage area.
Figure 2-3:Wireless to Ethernet Access Configuration
All wireless stations within this coverage area that wish to connect to the
network must be configured with the same network name as the Base Stations.
Roaming wireless stations will automatically switch between Base Stations,
when required, thus maintaining the wireless connection to the network.
