Network Basics NETWORKS DETAIL Infrastructure mode Terminology: Infrastructure mode is referred to as a "basic service set" (BSS). It's topology is sometimes called a "star topology", and it may also be called "enterprise mode" because it is the preferred topology for large networks. On a network of Apple Macintosh computers, it may be called an "Airport network". Topology: In infrastructure mode, all signals travel through an access point. Like the hub in a wired LAN, the access point re-sends the incoming signals out to the computers and other devices on the network. (The access point performs additional functions when a wireless LAN is connected to a wired LAN.) Infrastructure mode is suitable for wireless LANs of all sizes. file:///C|/Bottlecap_Structure_26--TestMerge/DOCS/EN/NETBASIC/FNWD0040.HTM (1 of 2) [5/20/2003 3:40:40 PM]
