The A032
’s WiFi adapter supports both:
•
In
Ad-hoc mode
,
mobile devices connect directly (peer to peer) to another device, without a router
or access point. For example; PC, tablet or smartphone can connect directly to the A032 to receive
marine data.
•
In
Station mode
, wireless devices communicate through an access point (AP) such as a router that
serves as a bridge to other networks (such as the Internet or LAN). This allows the router to handle
the data and traffic from the device. This data can then be picked up through the router anywhere on
the local area network. This is similar to plugging the device directly into the router by wire, but
instead using wireless technology. This way, the mobile devices receive both the marine data and
data from other AP connections, for example Internet.
The A032
’s WiFi adapter is set to Ad-hoc mode as a default setting but can be easily set to
station mode using the configuration tool.
