♦

Set all stations to use the same network name (or SSID).

♦

Set all stations to use the same wireless channel for communication.

♦

Set all stations to disable the WEP encryption key, or set all stations to use

an identical WEP encryption key as used by the Access Point.

INFRASTRUCTURE MODE

With a wireless access point, you can put the wireless LAN into Infrastructure

mode. It provides wireless connectivity to multiple wireless network devices

within a fixed range or area of coverage, interacting with a wireless node via an

antenna.

In the infrastructure mode, the wireless access point converts airwave data into

wired Ethernet data, acting as a bridge between the wired LAN and wireless

clients. Connecting multiple HE102 Access Points via a wired Ethernet

backbone can further extend the wireless network coverage. As a mobile

computing device moves out of the range of one access point, it moves into the

range of another. As a result, wireless clients can freely roam from one Access

Point domain to another and still maintain seamless network connection.

To set up an infrastructure network operating with standard protocols, do the

following:

♦

Set all wireless stations to connect in infrastructure mode

♦

Set all stations to use the same network name (or SSID).

♦

Set all wireless access points to use the same network name (or ESSID).

♦

Set all stations to disable the WEP encryption key, or set all stations to use

an identical WEP encryption key as used by the Access Point.
