About Wireless LANs

Modes

Wireless LANs can work in either of two (2) modes:

❑Ad-hoc

❑Infrastructure

Ad-hoc Mode Ad-hoc mode does not require an Access Point or a wired (Ethernet) LAN. Wireless Stations (for example, notebook PCs with wireless cards) communicate directly with each other.

Infrastructure Mode

In Infrastructure Mode, one or more Access Points are used to connect Wireless Stations (for example, Notebook PCs with wireless cards) to a wired (Ethernet) LAN. The Wireless Stations can then access all LAN resources.

Note

Access Points can only function in “Infrastructure” mode, and can communicate only with Wireless Stations which are set to “Infrastructure” mode.
