1.4 Network Configuration
To better understand how the wireless LAN products work together to create a wireless
network, it might be helpful to depict a few of the possible wireless LAN PC card network
configurations. The wireless LAN products can be configured as:
Ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) Mode
This is the simplest network configuration with several computers equipped with the PC
Cards that form a wireless network whenever they are within range of one another. In
ad-hoc mode, each client is peer-to- peer, would only have access to the resources of the
other client and does not require an access point. This is the easiest and least expensive
way for the SOHO to set up a wireless network.
The image below depicts a network in ad-hoc mode.
Figure 1-1 Ad-hoc mode.
Infrastructure Mode
The infrastructure mode requires the use of an access point (AP). In this mode, all wireless
communication between two computers has to be via the AP. It doesn’t matter if the AP is
stand-alone or wired to an Ethernet network. If used in stand-alone, the AP can extend the
range of independent wireless LANs by acting as a repeater, which effectively doubles the
distance between wireless stations.
The image below depicts a network in infrastructure mode.

4.1.1.3 WPA/WPA2 Authentication with TKIP/AES Encryption
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was designed to improve upon the security features of WEP
(Wired Equivalent Privacy). The technology is designed to work with existing Wi-Fi products
that have been enabled with WEP. WPA provides improved data encryption through the
Temporal key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which scrambles the keys using a hashing
algorithm and by adding an integrity checking feature which makes sure that keys haven’t
been tampered with.

Appendix A: Glossary
¾ IEEE 802.11b - The IEEE 802.11b standard specifies a wireless networking at 11 Mbps
using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the
unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. IEEE 802.11b
networks are also referred to as Wi-Fi networks.
¾ IEEE 802.11g - Specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence
spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the
unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 8021b
devices, and WEP encryption for security.
¾ Ad-hoc Network - An ad-hoc network is a group of computers, each with a wireless
adapter, connected as an independent IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN. Ad-hoc wireless
computers operate on a peer-to-peer basis, communicating directly with each other
without the use of an access point. Ad-hoc mode is also referred to as an Independent
Basic Service Set (IBSS) or as peer-to-peer mode, and is useful at a departmental
scale or SOHO operation.
¾ Infrastructure Network - An infrastructure network is a group of computers or other
devices, each with a wireless adapter, connected as an IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN. In
infrastructure mode, the wireless devices communicate with each other and to a wired
network by first going through an access point. An infrastructure wireless network
connected to a wired network is referred to as a Basic Service Set (BSS). A set of two or
more BSS in a single network is referred to as an Extended Service Set (ESS).
Infrastructure mode is useful at a corporation scale, or when it is necessary to connect
the wired and wireless networks.
¾ SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric
key identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to
communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This
is typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the
ESSID in the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name.
¾ WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64 bit or 128
bit or 256 bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11g standard.
¾ Wi-Fi - A trade name for the IEEE 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the
standards group promoting interoperability among IEEE 802.11b devices.
¾ WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated devices
communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a
local area.
¾ WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) - A wireless security protocol use TKIP (Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol) encryption, which can be used in conjunction with a RADIUS server.
