This example constructs a wireless LAN operating over three floors of a building.  A different 

department is located on each floor and these are separated by routers. 

User PC1 belongs to the 3rd floor but sometimes takes his PC and works on the1st floor.  As the IP 

tunneling server function is enabled on the AP, PC1 can still perform operations such as sending and 

receiving mail and accessing the 3F file server while roaming on the 1st floor away from the 3rd floor 

router. 

To keep the various APs separated, the APs on different floors are installed on opposite sides of the 

building so that they are not directly above or below each other.
