Welcome
Wireless-G Presentation Player
Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Wireless-G Presentation Player. This Presentation Player will allow you to play your
presentations wirelessly better than ever.
The versatile Linksys Wireless-G Presentation Player is the ultimate presentation tool. In the conference room, it
can act as a 54Mbps access point to your network, and also connects via a standard VGA connector to your
projector or monitor. Any wireless-equipped computer within range (and with permission) can take control of the
Player and project live screen images of any application running on the PC. Give presentations, review the
numbers in your spreadsheets, and collaboratively edit documents at up to 1024x768 resolution and 24-bit color.
For truly interactive meetings and brainstorming sessions, the Player allows any member of the wired or wireless
network group to take instant control of the projector, with no cable-swapping hassle. Go around the room for
status reports, or let the inspiration flow in an ad-hoc idea exchange. In a classroom setting, the Player allows a
teacher to unobtrusively supervise each students' progress without physically peeking over their shoulders.
The Wireless-G Presentation Player can also act as a stand-alone presentation device. Using the included utility,
upload your PowerPoint® presentations directly into the Player's 32 megabyte non-volatile memory or to your
own USB Memory Disk. Then leave your PC at home! Take the Player to the boardroom or your customer's site,
plug it into a projector or monitor, and run your presentation directly from the Player using the included infrared
wireless remote. It even includes a built-in laser pointer to help you hit the highlights.
As a wireless interactive meeting facilitator or as a stand-alone presentation tool, the Linksys Wireless-G
Presentation Player helps you get your point across.

Network Topology

Chapter 2: Planning your Wireless Network
Network Topology
A wireless network is a group of computers, each equipped with one wireless adapter. Computers in a wireless
network must be configured to share the same radio channel. Several PCs equipped with wireless cards or
adapters can communicate with one another to form an ad-hoc network.
Linksys wireless adapters also provide users access to a wired network when using an access point or wireless
router. An integrated wireless and wired network is called an infrastructure network. Each wireless PC in an
infrastructure network can talk to any computer in a wired network infrastructure via the access point or wireless
router.
An infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of a wireless PC to a wired network, and can double the
effective wireless transmission range for two wireless adapter PCs. Since an access point is able to forward data
within a network, the effective transmission range in an infrastructure network can be doubled.
Roaming
Infrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities for mobile users. Roaming means that you can move your
wireless PC within your network and the access points will pick up the wireless PC's signal, providing that they
both share the same channel and SSID.
Before enabling you consider roaming, choose a feasible radio channel and optimum access point position.
Proper access point positioning combined with a clear radio signal will greatly enhance performance.
infrastructure: a wireless network
that is bridged to a wired network via
an access point.
ad-hoc: a group of wireless devices
communicating directly with each other (peer-
to-peer) without the use of an access point.
