18 A PPENDIX A: A IR C ONNECT O VE RVIEW Peer -T o-Peer N etwork The simplest AirConn ect topology cons ists of one AP pr oviding a sin gle-cell networ k for wireless clients.
AirConnec t Network T opologie s 19 Single AP B ridge Another po ssible AirConn ect topology is a s ingle AP bridg ing an Eth ernet and wireless network .
20 A PPENDIX A: A IR C ONNECT O VE RVIEW Multiple -AP Full Coverage Network This ne twork topo logy will be use d in most enterpr ise envir onments: mu ltiple APs wired to an exi sting LAN to provide com plete wi reless network cove rage.
Theor y of Opera tion 21 The AP removes from its da tabase d estinatio ns or in terfaces n ot used fo r a specifie d time. The AP r efreshe s its database when it transmits or r eceives data from t hese destinat ions and inte rfaces.
22 A PPENDIX A: A IR C ONNECT O VE RVIEW The radio interf ace confor ms to I EEE 802.11 HR spe cifications . The interfac e operat es at 11 Mbps using dir ect-se quence radi o technol ogy . The AP suppor ts multip le-cell ope rations wit h fast, tran spar ent roami ng between cells .
Theor y of Opera tion 23 The PPP implem entation in the AP uses the NCP as descr ibed in RFC 1220: PPP Extension s for Bridgin g t o encapsul ate packets at the Ethernet le vel. The PPP pro vides IP bridg ing contr ol as def ined by RFC 1172 and MAC-le vel bri dging.
24 A PPENDIX A: A IR C ONNECT O VE RVIEW Straigh t-through cabl e pin out: When usi ng a modem connect ion, o ne AP r epr esents t he or iginat ing AP and t he other repr esents t he answer ing AP . When using a PPP link, do not use the ser ial port to access the UI.
Theor y of Opera tion 25 Wirele ss Client Association P rocess APs recog nize wir eless clients as they associate with t he AP . The AP keeps a list of the wireless clients it services.
26 A PPENDIX A: A IR C ONNECT O VE RVIEW ■ The rat io of good -transmitted packet s to attempted -transm itted packets fa lls below a thr eshold. ■ The wir eless cl ient detects an imbalance in the number of wir eles s clients associate d with available A Ps and roams t o a less loaded AP .
Theor y of Opera tion 27 The AirConnec t Mobile IP (roamin g across r outers) feature e nables a wir eless client on the Internet to move fr om one subnet to anot her while keepi ng its IP addre ss unchanged. The scanni ng and ass ociati ng pr ocess cont inues for ac tive wir eless clients.
