The Ad-Hoc mode offers communication between wireless stations with the limited range of each other, eliminating the need for an AP. Without

an AP connecting to a wired LAN, the clients in a Ad-Hoc network can only share resources with the peers but not be able to access resources on a wired network. When this device is configured as a Station and operates in Infrastructure mode, it will associate with an available AP installed on Ethernet network. Thus the device that equipped with this Station can access to the wired LAN via the associated AP. To successfully associate with an AP, this device must be configured in Infrastructure mode and use the same SSID and security settings with the AP. It does not need to configure a channel since it will automatically receive the channel assignment from the AP. SSID: Enter a network name with a maximum limit of 32 characters. Also, you can click Scan button to get a network list as below. From this dialog box, please choose any one that is available and click Choose. The name of the one that you selected will be shown on the SSID box. Authentication Type: This is a process in which the AP validates if wireless clients are qualified to access the AP’s service. It happens prior to any wireless client can associate to an AP. The option – Shared Key, utilizes WEP capability to further verify if the wireless client is authorized to share this AP’s resource. If the client has the wrong key or no key, it will fail the authentication and will not be allowed to associate with this AP. Open System makes the authentication be done through a pseudo process, accepting all kinds of requests, and is mainly used in cases where connectivity is more important than security.
