NETWORKS DETAIL Standalone peripherals Not all wireless connections are network connections. Though the distinctions may often be somewhat blurry, some wireless technologies -- such as the Bluetooth technology that is becoming popular in mobile phones and handheld computers -are more about connecting a computing device to a peripheral, rather than connecting computers and other devices in a network. For instance, when a handheld computer connects with a walkup wireless printer, or when a mobile phone connects with a vending machine, the interactions between them are typical of a standalone computer talking to a peripheral device. In essence, the wireless connection replaces the cable in a standard peripheral connection. Compared to network connections, such wireless peripheral connections work at short ranges and slow speeds. (In this tutorial, we will concentrate on the networking that is typified by 802.3-type wired networks and 802.11b-type wireless networks.)

DETAIL
Standalone
peripherals
Not all wireless connections are
network connections. Though the
distinctions may often be
somewhat blurry, some wireless
technologies -- such as the
Bluetooth technology that is
becoming popular in mobile
phones and handheld computers --
are more about connecting a
computing device to a peripheral,
rather than connecting computers
and other devices in a network.
For instance, when a handheld
computer connects with a walk-
up wireless printer, or when a
mobile phone connects with a
vending machine, the interactions
between them are typical of a
standalone computer talking to a
peripheral device. In essence, the
wireless connection replaces the
cable in a standard peripheral
connection. Compared to network
connections, such wireless
peripheral connections work at
short ranges and slow speeds.
(In this tutorial, we will
concentrate on the networking
that is typified by 802.3-type
wired networks and 802.11b-type
wireless networks.)
