Attach to Your Network Using Radio Signals
Install a wireless network adapter in each computer that will be connected to
the Internet or your local network via radio signals. PCI currently offers
several wireless network cards, including the GW-NS11R and GW-NS11C
Wireless cards.
Rotate both antennas on the back of the BLW-04EM to the desired position.
For more effective coverage, position one antenna along the vertical axis and
the other along the horizontal axis. Try to place the BLW-04EM in a position
that is located in the center of your wireless network. Normally, the higher
you place the antenna, the better the performance. Ensure that the
BLW-04EM location provides optimal reception throughout your home or
office.
Computers equipped with a wireless adapter can communicate with each
other as an independent wireless LAN by configuring each computer to the
same radio channel. However, the BLW-04EM can provide access to your
wired/wireless LAN or to the Internet for all wireless workstations. Each
wireless PC in this network infrastructure can talk to any computer in the
wireless group via a radio link, or access other computers or network
resources in the wired LAN infrastructure or over the Internet via the
BLW-04EM.
The wireless infrastructure configuration not only extends the accessibility of
wireless PCs to the wired LAN, but also doubles the effective wireless
transmission range for wireless PCs by retransmitting incoming radio signals
through the BLW-04EM.
A wireless infrastructure can be used for access to a central database, or for
connection between mobile workers, as shown in the following figure:
