4.1 Wireless Overview
This section describes some of the concepts related to the Wireless screens.
4.1.1 Wireless Networking Basics
Your CGNVM’s wireless network is part of the Local Area Network (LAN), known as
the Wireless LAN (WLAN). The WLAN is a network of radio links between the
CGNVM and the other computers and devices that connect to it.
4.1.2 Architecture
The wireless network consists of two types of device: access points (APs) and
clients.
The access point controls the network, providing a wireless connection to each
client.
The wireless clients connect to the access point in order to receive a wireless
connection to the WAN and the wired LAN.
