10.3.1 Local point-to-point wireless access to XIO (Wi-Fi AP) by host
The XIO supports local wireless access by Wi-Fi clients. Wi-Fi clients can establish connections to the XIO
in all Wi-Fi modes:
–
When there is only a single XIO with no other Totalflow Wi-Fi access point available, the XIO needs to
be configured as an access point for Wi-fi clients to connect. The Wi-Fi client detects and joins the
network advertised by the XIO. The connection is basically a point-to-point connection since no other
devices acts as clients to the XIO AP.

–
When there are several XIOs, one may be configured as an access point and the others as clients. In
this scenario, the Wi-Fi client only joins a single wireless network, but can establish connection to all
XIOs on that network.
