Install, configure, and manage wireless
devices.
After an infrared device is installed, (see
Above) the Wireless Link icon appears in Control
Panel. When another IrDA transceiver comes in
range, the Wireless Link icon appears on the
desktop and on the taskbar. You can then send a
file over the infrared connection with any of
the following actions:
-
Specify a location and one or more files
using the Wireless Link dialog box.
-
Use drag-and-drop operations to move files
onto the Wireless Link icon on the desktop.
-
Right-click any selection of files on the
desktop, in Windows Explorer, or in My
Computer, and then click the Send To
Infrared Recipient command.
-
Print to a printer configured to use an
infrared port.
Wireless access points
A wireless network adapter card with a
transceiver sometimes called an access point,
broadcasts and receives signals to and from the
surrounding computers and passes back and forth
between the wireless computers and the cabled
network.
Access points act as wireless hubs to link
multiple wireless NICs into a single subnet.
Access points also have at least one fixed
Ethernet port to allow the wireless network to
be bridged to a traditional wired Ethernet
network. |
