Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) systems offer a great number of advantages over traditional wired systems. WLAN is flexible and easy to setup and manage. They are also more economical than wired LAN systems. Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLAN transmit and receive data through the air. WLAN combine data connectivity with user mobility. For example, users can roam from a conference room to their office without being disconnected from the LAN. Using WLAN, users can conveniently access-shared information, and network administrators can configure and augment networks without installing or moving network cables. WLAN technology provides users with many convenient and cost saving features:

Mobility: WLAN provide LAN users with access to real-time information anywhere in their organization, providing service opportunities that are impossible with wired networks. Ease of Installation: Installing is easy for novice and expert users alike, eliminating the need to install network cables in walls and ceilings. Scalability: WLAN can be configured in a variety of topologies to adapt to specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and range from peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number of users to full infrastructure networks of thousands of users roaming over a broad area. Wireless LAN Modes Wireless LANs can be configured in one of two ways:

Infrastructure Networking Infrastructure networking differs from ad-hoc networking in that it includes an access point. Unlike the ad-hoc structure where users on the LAN contend the shared bandwidth, on an infrastructure network the access point can manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization. Additionally, the access point enables users on a wireless LAN to access an existing wired network, allowing wireless users to take advantage of the wired ZyXEL Communications Corp. Proprietary & Confidential Information Specifications are subject to change without notice 2 networks resources, such as Internet, email, file transfer, and printer sharing. Infrastructure networking has the following advantages over ad-hoc networking:

Extended range: each wireless LAN computer within the range of the access point can communicate with other wireless LAN computers within range of the access point. Roaming: the access point enables a wireless LAN computer to move through a building and still be connected to the LAN. Wired to wireless LAN connectivity: the access point bridges the gap between wireless LANs and their wired counterparts. Notes on Wireless LAN Configuration When configuring a wireless LAN (WLAN), be sure to note the following points:

Optimize the performance of the WLAN by ensuring that the distance between access points is not too far. In most buildings, WLAN Adapters operate within a range of 100 ~ 300 feet, depending on the thickness and structure of the walls. Radio waves can pass through walls and glass but not metal. If there is interference in transmitting through a wall, it may be that the wall has reinforcing metal in its structure. Install another access point to circumvent this problem. Floors usually have metal girders and metal reinforcing struts that interfere with WLAN transmission. ZyXEL Communications Corp.
