18APPENDIX A: AIRCONNECT OVERVIEW

Peer-To-Peer Network The simplest AirConnect topology consists of one AP providing a single-cell network for wireless clients. In this scenario, as shown in the following figure, the wireless clients (laptop and desktop computers with the AirConnect NIC installed) communicate through the AP on a peer-to-peer network. The clients can be moved anywhere within the coverage area of the AP, and still communicate with each other. The AP in this instance serves the same purpose as a stand-alone network hub, and is not connected to any other network segments.

Same-Site Separate In this scenario, as shown in the figure below, Multiple APs can coexist as separate Networks networks at the same site without interference using different network identifiers

(wireless LAN service areas). The wireless clients can move within the coverage area of one AP and remain connected, or can roam (if configured to do so) to the coverage area of a different AP, and communicate with the wireless clients associated with that AP.
