Terminology

When configuring your system and your PC3500, keep in mind

the following terminology:

Root Unit – The root unit (Aironet Access Point) is located at

the top or starting point of a wireless infrastructure. The root

unit provides the physical connection to the wired LAN and

contains configuration information in its association table that

covers all stations in the infrastructure.

Repeater – A repeater is an Aironet Access Point that extends

the radio range of the infrastructure. A single Aironet Access

Point transmits and receives data within an area called a cell.

The size of a single cell depends upon the nature of the

wireless medium within the cell.

Radio Node – A PC, file server, notebook computer containing

a radio card, LAN Adapter, or PC Card.

End Node – A radio node that is located at the end of a

network tree.

Parent/Child Station – Refers to the relationships between

nodes on the network tree. For example, the Aironet Access

Point (at the top of the tree) would be the parent of the end

nodes. Conversely, the end nodes would be the children of the

Aironet Access Point.

Association – Each root or repeater in the infrastructure

contains an association table that controls the routing of

packets between the wired LAN and the wireless infrastructure.

These entries contain information for all stations associated

with the Aironet Access Point on the infrastructure.
