Cheetah Wireless-3501C USB Adapter

Setting the Communication Domain

Stationary Wireless PCs

The Basic Service Set (BSS) is the communication domain for each access point. For wireless PCs that do not need to support roaming, set the domain identifier (SSID) for the wireless adapter to the BSS ID of the access point to which you want to connect. Check with your administrator for the BSS ID of the access point to which he wants you to connect.

Roaming Wireless PCs

An infrastructure network also supports roaming for mobile workers. More than one access point may be configured with the same SSID to create an Extended Service Set (ESS). By placing the access points so that a continuous coverage area is created, wireless users within this ESS can roam freely. All Accton Cheetah Wireless adapters and Cheetah Wireless Access Points within a specific ESS must be configured with the same SSID.

Before setting up an ESS for roaming, choose a location for the access points that maximizes performance. (Refer to “Using the Wireless USB Utility in Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, and XP” on page 25 for configuration information.)
