Setting the Communication Domain

Stationary Wireless PCs
The Basic Service Set (BSS) is the communication

domain for each access point. For wireless PCs that do

not need to support roaming, set the domain identifier

(SSID) for the wireless card to the BSS ID of the

access point you want to connect to. Check with your

administrator for the BSS ID of the access point he

wants you to connect to.

Roaming Wireless PCs
A wireless infrastructure can also support roaming for

mobile workers. More than one access point can be

configured to create an Extended Service Set (ESS).

By placing the access points so that a continuous

coverage area is created, wireless users within this ESS

can roam freely. All Wireless adapters and Wireless

Access Points within a specific ESS must be

configured with the same SS ID.

Before setting up an ESS for roaming, you need to

choose a clear radio channel and ideal location for the

Access Points to maximize performance. (Refer to

Using the Wireless LAN Utility on page 15 for

detailed information on installation and usage.)
