Planning Your Wireless Network
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is exactly like a regular local area network
(LAN), except that each computer in the WLAN uses a wireless device to connect
to the network. Computers and other devices, such as peripherals, in a WLAN
share the same frequency channel and SSID, which is an identification name for
wireless devices. This chapter includes the following sections:
• Wireless Network Layout, page 5
• Additional Security Tips, page 6

Wireless Network Layout
The WVC2300 camera is compatible with 802.11g routers, such as model number
WRVS4400N, as well as 802.11g access points, including model number
WAP4410N. The camera can also communicate with network adapters, such as
the Wireless-G Notebook Adapter (model number WPC4400N) for your laptop
computers, Wireless-G PCI Adapter (model numbers WMP200) for your desktop
PCs, and Wireless-G USB Adapter (model number WUSB200) for your computers
that connect to the wireless network through USB modems.
