Protocols Supported
The Aironet 4800B Series PCI/ISA Wireless LAN Adapter
can be used in a variety of infrastructure configurations.
Aironet Access Points provide connections to Wired Net-
works. When using the Aironet standard device drivers, the
PCI/ISA Card is fully compliant with the following operating
systems:
Radio Ranges
This section provides general guidelines on factors that
influence network performance (see Section 2: Using the
WinDGS Utilities).
Site Survey
Because of differences in component configuration,
placement and physical environment, every network
application is a unique installation. Before installing the
system, users should perform a site survey to deter-
mine the optimum utilization of networking components
and to maximize range, coverage and network perfor-
mance.
Here are some operating and environmental conditions you
should consider:
• Data Rates. Sensitivity and range are inversely propor-
tional to data bit rates. The maximum radio range is
achieved at the lowest workable data rate. There will be
a decrease in receiver threshold sensitivity as the radio
data rate increases.
