other IEEE 802.11b compliant LAN systems

Wireless stations can be equipped with the SDW11b, but also with other WLAN PC Cards. Both the SDW11b and the WLAN PC Card share the same wireless functionality.

Peer-to-Peer (Ad-hoc) Workgroup

The Peer-to-Peer workgroup configuration enables you to quickly set up a small wireless workgroup, where the workgroup participants can exchange files using features like “Files and Printer Sharing” as supported by Microsoft® Networking.

You can use this option to setup a temporary or Ad-hoc network in environments where no access points are available (for example in Small Office/Home Office “SOHO” environments). As long as the stations are within range of one another, this is the easiest and least expensive way to set up a wireless network.

Home Networking

With SDW11b, wireless access to the Internet or other devices is

at your fingertips. All you need to do is connect the SDLink11b to an existing access point that may be connected to the external Cable or xDSL modems and you are ready to:

ƒShare files and printers, and

ƒAccess the Internet.

2-2-3 Enterprise Networking

With the Wi-Fi certified Access Point in the corporate network system, you can connect to a corporate Local Area Network (LAN) infrastructure to access all network facilities in wireless. LAN Infrastructures may either be:

ƒStand-alone wireless LANs.

ƒWireless network infrastructures connected to an existing Ethernet network.
