Ad Hoc wireless network

An ad hoc wireless network consists of a group of computers, each equipped with one wireless adapter, connected via radio signals as an independent wireless network.

Choose AdHoc when connecting Philips Streamium products.

3.2- Use the 'How to...?" booklet to help you through the installation procedure.

1.Take the "How to...?" booklet, and follow its step by step instructions for installing the Wireless USB Adapter 11g.

2.When asked if you want to set-up an Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure Network, select the type of network that you decided to install in 3.1 above.

NOTE:

•Hi-speed USB 2.0 port is required for 54 Mbps operation.

•Connecting the adapter to a USB 1.1 port limits the speed to max. 11 Mbps.

Should there appear any error messages or requests for additional information on the screen, then please read the "Troubleshooting" section. Please visit our web site www.philips.com/support if you need further assistance.

IMPORTANT: By installing the Wireless USB Adapter 11g and making a connection with another Wireless Network Adapter or a Wireless Base Station, you only will have created the physical (wireless) connection between these network devices. Much like connecting a network cable between two wired network adapters.

You still have to install applications for using the wireless network. As an example, see the chapter on creating a home computer network in this manual if you want to use the wireless network for that particular purpose.
