Titl

The PMP includes a built-in 802.11b/g wireless network adapter. This 
section tells you how to use the features utilizing the wireless adapter.

•  The PMP supports two basic Wireless network confi gurations: 

Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc.

Infrastructure Networks

These networks involve the use of a device called a Wireless Access 
Point (WAP) or otherwise known as a wireless router. The WAP 
provides the ability to connect your PMP to Podcast downloads via an 
Internet connection. 

A WAP is confi gured with an SSID (Service Set Identifi er) and possibly 
a network key (i.e., a password) used to prevent unauthorized access to 
the network. The PMP must be confi gured with the appropriate SSIDs 
and network keys for each WAP you will be using. See “Confi guring 
Wireless Access” for more information

.

Ad-Hoc Networks

Ad-Hoc networks allow two or more wireless devices to communicate 
without the need of a Wireless Access Point (WAP). An Ad-Hoc 
network is needed to perform player-to-player sharing

Player-to-Player
One PMP establishes an ad-hoc network allowing another PMP to 
join the network and share fi les directly from player to player. See the 
section “Player to Player Sharing” for more information.
