Fig 2-2 Infrastructure Wireless LAN 
The adapter provides access to a wired LAN for wireless workstations. An integrated wireless 
and wired LAN is called an infrastructure configuration. A group of adapter PC users and an 
Access Point compose a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each adapter PC in a BSS can talk to any 
computer in the wired LAN infrastructure via the Access Point. 
An infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of a adapter equipped PC to a wired 
LAN, and doubles the effective wireless transmission range for 2 adapter PCs. Since the Access 
Point is able to forward data within its BSS, the effective transmission range in an infrastructure 
LAN is double.

The use of a unique ID in a BSS is essential. All adapter equipped PCs configured without 
roaming options in independent BSS must be configured with a BSS ID corresponding to the 
Access Point used in the BSS. Check your Access Point for its BSS ID or use the Access Point 
Browser Utility program to determine the BSS ID
