3-MBPS WIRELESS ETHERNET HUBS, ADAPTERS, AND BRIDGES
The LW001A and LW007A function exactly the
same way, but the LW001A has permanently attached
antennas, and the LW007A has detachable antennas.
A third Hub, LW005A (which is covered in a separate
manual), has the same hardware as the LW007A, but
different software. It works with portable computers
equipped with the PCMCIA Wireless Adapter
(LW006A) to connect to wired Ethernet LANs.
The Hub also contains the coordinating function
that enables workstations to communicate through it
to one another inside the cell coverage area, even
though they may not be in direct line of sight.
Mobile workstations can roam from one Hub to
another that belongs to the same extended wireless
network. When Hubs are set up in such a way that
their coverage areas overlap one another, users may
roam seamlessly from cell to cell. The Workstation
Adapters “decide” when a mobile user becomes
disassociated from one Hub and associated with
another.
This process is fully transparent, requires no user
intervention, and involves no loss of data packets.
You can position multiple Hubs in locations where
you expect heavy network traffic. This will increase
the throughput capacity in the areas where you most
need it.
