Chapter 1 Overview

Network Configuration Examples

This section describes the access point’s role in three common wireless network configurations. The

access point’s default configuration is as a root unit on a wired LAN. The other two possible roles,

repeater unit and central unit in an all-wireless network, require specific changes to the default

configuration.

Root Unit on a Wired LAN

An access point connected directly to a wired LAN provides a connection point for wireless users. If

more than one access point is connected to the LAN, users can roam from one area of a facility to another

without losing their connection to the network. As users move out of range of one access point, they

automatically connect to the network (associate) through another access point. The roaming process is

seamless and transparent to the user. Figure 1-3 shows access points acting as root units on a wired LAN.
