Figure A.2 - Wireless Infrastructure
In a wireless infrastructure, an Aironet Access Point is used
as a stand-alone root unit. The root unit is not attached to
any wired LAN, but functions as a hub linking all stations
together. This configuration is similar to the ad hoc network,
except the Aironet Access Point serves as the focal point
for communications. This increases the effective communi-
cation range over the ad hoc LAN since both stations are
not required to be in direct communication range of each
other.
