System Configurations
The PC3500 can be used in a variety of network system
configurations. Aironet Access Points (AP3500-E or
AP3500-T) provide connections to your Ethernet or Token
Ring networks or act as repeaters increasing wireless
communication range. The maximum communication range is
based on how you configure your wireless infrastructure.
Examples of some common system configurations are shown
on the pages that follow, along with a description of each.
Figure 1.2 - Ad Hoc Wireless LAN
An ad hoc wireless LAN is the simplest wireless LAN
configuration. In a wireless LAN, using an ad hoc network
operating system (such as Windows for Workgroups or
Windows 95), all devices equipped with the PC3500 can be
linked together and communicate directly with each other.
