Ad Hoc Mode
In ad hoc mode, a wireless network adapter works within an independent basic service
set (IBSS), as illustrated here. All stations communicate directly with other stations
without using an access point (AP).
To connect to an ad hoc network, configure the profile for ad hoc mode. Ad Hoc
operation may be limited by Hardware to meet regulatory requirements.
Ad Hoc Mode Profile Configuration
To configure a profile in ad hoc mode, change the Network Type in the Profile
Management's Advanced tab. For ad hoc mode, modify the settings:
Network Name (on General Tab)
Transmit Power Level
802.11b Preamble (if using 802.11b)
Wireless Mode When Starting an Ad Hoc Network
Make sure to also edit the General and Security tabs.
Infrastructure (Access Point) Mode
In infrastructure (access point (AP)) mode, the wireless network adapter participates in a
basic service set (BSS) as a station, and communicates with the other stations through an
AP, as illustrated here.
