Operating modes
Your device enables different types of communication
in a wireless LAN. The two operating modes are
infrastructure and ad hoc.

• The infrastructure operating mode allows two kinds
of communication: wireless devices communicate
with each other through a wireless LAN access point
or wireless devices communicate with a wired LAN
device through a wireless LAN access point. The
advantage of the infrastructure operating mode is
that you can have more control over network
connections because they pass through an access
point. A wireless device can access the services that
are available in a regular wired LAN: company
database, e-mail, the Internet, and other network
resources, for example.
• In the ad hoc operating mode you can send data to
and receive it from other devices with compatible
wireless LAN support , for example, to be printed.
These functions may require an additional third
party application to work. No wireless LAN access
point is required. Simply make the necessary
configurations and start communicating. Ad hoc
networking is easy to set up, but communication is
limited to devices that are within range and support
compatible wireless LAN technology.
