1-8 Introduction
Infrastructure Mode
Infrastructure
mode is a wireless network topology where all wireless communications
goes through an access point.
Infrastructure
mode is called a Basic Service Set (BSS), and
sometimes referred to as “enterprise mode”. On Apple networks,
infrastructure
mode is
called “Airport Network” mode. When set in this mode, the HP Jetdirect print server
receives print jobs from wireless and cabled network computers through an access point.
Service Set Identifiers (SSID)
An SSID is a logical name assigned to a wireless LAN. It is typically used to provide LAN
access control. For example, if the SSID for a wireless network is “mycompany”, then each
wireless device on this network must be configured with this SSID.
In
infrastructure
mode, the access point will require wireless devices to be configured with
the appropriate SSID before network access is allowed.
access point
Infrastructure mode:
a wireless topology
that uses an access
point for connection
to a wired network
