Planning an Infrastructure Network

This section explains some of the factors you need to consider when planning an infrastructure network. Setting up is a two-step process:

1.Install and configure the wireless products.

2.Decide the best physical location of the wireless products so as to optimize performance.

The following section gives quick guidelines for these two steps. First, decide whether to have a single AP wireless network or a multiple AP network.

Single AP Installation

If you are setting up a simple network with only one AP and a few stations (a Type 1 or Type 2 network configuration as described in “Infrastructure Network Types,” page 8), all you need to do is make sure the AP and all the wireless stations hold the same domain name (SSID) and security (WEP) settings in their configuration.

Adding a new station to an existing infrastructure network is easy. Again, all you need to do is to set the newly added station’s domain name (SSID) and security (WEP) settings to be the same as those of the AP.

Multiple AP Installation

Installing multiple APs on the same network (or domain) with overlapping signals (Figure 3)

•Use the same domain name (SSID) and security (WEP) settings.

•Enable the Roaming function on stations that require it.

Note: A station will automatically connect to whichever AP in the same domain is currently offering the best signal.

Roaming

Wireless products allow wireless stations to roam freely within an infrastructure domain composed of multiple APs with overlapping signal coverage (as in the Type 3 network configuration described in the previous section). For example, roaming
