Wireless stations can be equipped with the SDW11b, but also with other WLAN PC Cards. Both the
SDW11b and the WLAN PC Card share the same wireless functionality.
Peer-to-Peer (Ad-hoc) Workgroup
The Peer-to-Peer workgroup configuration enables you to
quickly set up a small wireless workgroup, where the workgroup
participants can exchange files using features like “Files and
Printer Sharing” as supported by Microsoft
® Networking.
You can use this option to setup a temporary or Ad-hoc network
in environments where no access points are available (for
example in Small Office/Home Office “SOHO” environments).
As long as the stations are within range of one another, this is the
easiest and least expensive way to set up a wireless network.

Share files and printers, and
ƒ
Access the Internet.
2-2-3 Enterprise Networking

infrastructure to access all network facilities in wireless. LAN
Infrastructures may either be:
ƒ Stand-alone wireless LANs.
ƒ
Wireless network infrastructures connected to an existing
Ethernet network.
