Infrastructure Mode
The infrastructure mode requires the use of an access point (AP). In infrastructure mode, wireless
communication between two computers is transferred through the AP. The AP can standalone or be wired
to an Ethernet network. If an AP is used in standalone mode, the AP can extend the range of independent
wireless LANs by acting as a repeater to effectively double the distance between wireless stations. The
figure below illustrates a network in infrastructure mode.
Installing the Drivers and SonicWALL Client Utility
This section describes how to install the drivers and SonicWALL Client Utility for Windows 98SE/ME/
2000/XP.
Before You Begin
During the installation, Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP may need to copy systems files from its installation
CD. Therefore, you may need a copy of the Windows installation CD available before installing the drivers.
On many systems, instead of a CD, the necessary installation files are archived on the hard disk in
C:\WINDOWS \OPTIONS\CABS directory.
