Infrastructure Wireless Network The D-Link Air DCF-650W provides access to a wired LAN through the wireless extension of the local network. An integrated wireless and wired LAN using the deployment of Access Points is called an Infrastructure configuration. A group of wireless LAN PC users and an Access Point construct a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each wireless-equipped PC or PDA in this BSS will be able to communicate to any computer in the wired LAN infrastructure via the Access Point. Infrastructure configuration will extend the accessibility of a wireless station or PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) to the wired LAN. Multiple Access Points will allow roaming and will increase the effective transmission range. Also, the Access Point is capable of forwarding data within its Basic Service Set. Consequently, the effective transmission range in an infrastructure LAN is doubled with the introduction of wireless products into a local wired network. 9

roaming and will increase the effective transmission range. Also, the Access Point is
capable of forwarding data within its Basic Service Set.
Consequently, the effective
