About Wireless LAN
Introduction
Welcome to Avaya Wireless LAN, the easy way to wireless computing.
Building your wireless network has never been easier.
This book introduces you to the Avaya USB Client, and will help you to
connect to your network in a snap. It describes the most common
configurations.
To install and manage wireless products, it is assumed that you have a
working knowledge of installation procedures for network operating systems
under Microsoft Windows.

About Wireless LAN - Wireless LAN Network Scenarios
Wireless LAN Network Scenarios
The USB Client Kit enables you to:
■Connect your computer to a Peer-to-Peer workgroup of wireless
computing devices (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-3).
■Connect your computer to a Local Area Network (LAN) Infrastructure
that includes Avaya Wireless LAN access points, or other IEEE 802.11
compliant LAN systems (see Figure 1-2 on page 1-4).
Wireless stations can be equipped with the USB Client, but also with Avaya
Wireless PC Card or PCI Adapter. All Wireless LAN adapters share the
same wireless functionality.
Peer-to-Peer 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 “File 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.
Enterprise Networking
With the Wireless LAN access point you can connect to a corporate Local
Area Network (LAN) infrastructure to have wireless access to all network
facilities.

The USB Client functions like any standard wired Ethernet card, but does not
need any wires!

About Wireless LAN - Wireless LAN Network Scenarios
Where an Ethernet card requires a cable connection to a hub and/or patch
panel, the cable physically ties you down to the location of the wired
connection.
Wireless LAN allows you to connect your computer to a Local Area Network
(LAN) system from anywhere within the wireless coverage area. Expanding
or re-designing your network is easy: Add or relocate access points and/or
Residential Gateway-Is, power-up your wireless computers, and you’re done!
Unlike Ethernet, wireless client adapters and access points will enable you to
roam throughout the network while remaining connected to the LAN.
