Wireless LAN Solutions
The following list describes example applications of wireless LANs:
•Office networks - Business users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation in an office net-
work.
•Training/educational facilities - Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wire-
less connectivity to ease access to information, information exchanges, and learning.
•Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks - Network managers in dynamic environments can min-
imize the overhead caused by moves, extensions to networks, and other changes with wireless LANs.
•Wired LAN backup - Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for mission-
critical applications running on wired networks.
•Access to environments requiring real-time information - Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employ-
ees, and warehouse workers can access real-time information while dealing with patients, serving
customers and processing information.

•Frequently changing environments - Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing
sites where the workplace is frequently being rearranged.
•Difficult-to-wire environments - There are many situations where wires cannot easily be laid. His-
toric buildings, older buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the installation of LANs ei-
ther impossible or very expensive.
•Temporary workgroups - Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibitions, disaster-recov-
ery, temporary office and construction sites where you need a temporary WLAN established and re-
moved.
Deployment Scenarios
This section provides deployment scenarios to help you understand how wireless LAN products work
together to create a wireless network. Refer to the following deployment scenarios:
• Ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) for departmental or office LANs
• Infrastructure for Enterprise LANs
Ad-Hoc (Peer-to-Peer)
The ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) mode is the simplest network configuration that supports several computers
equipped with SonicWALL Long Range Dual Band Wireless Cards to form a wireless network. In ad-hoc
mode, each client is peer-to-peer and would only have access to the resources of the other client. In ad-
hoc mode, the client does not require an access point.
Page 4 SonicWALL Long Range Dual Band Wireless Card User’s Guide Part number: 232-000513-00
Infrastructure Mode
The infrastructure mode requires the use of an access point (AP). In infrastructure mode, wireless
communication between two computers is transferred through the AP. The AP can standalone or be wired
to an Ethernet network. If an AP is used in standalone mode, the AP can extend the range of independent
wireless LANs by acting as a repeater to effectively double the distance between wireless stations. The
figure below illustrates a network in infrastructure mode.
Installing the Drivers and SonicWALL Client Utility
This section describes how to install the drivers and SonicWALL Client Utility for Windows 98SE/ME/
2000/XP.
Before You Begin
During the installation, Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP may need to copy systems files from its installation
CD. Therefore, you may need a copy of the Windows installation CD available before installing the drivers.
On many systems, instead of a CD, the necessary installation files are archived on the hard disk in
C:\WINDOWS \OPTIONS\CABS directory.
