3. In ad hoc mode, a station will scan the air for an existing BSS. If no BSS
is found, the station will establish a BSS for other stations to join. When
other stations scan the air and find an established BSS in place, they join
that BSS to form an ad hoc network. If a specific set of stations requires
ad hoc network connectivity, it is recommended to have one station
establish a BSS first before configuring the remaining stations. This will
prevent the scenario of several stations trying to form a BSS at the same
time, which may result in multiple singular BSSs being established rather
than a single BSS with multiple stations.
Verify Connection
You may use LinkMon utility to monitor the operating status of D-Link DWL-
A650 Wireless Network Adapter once the STA is connected. Please refer to
Chapter 7 for descriptions of LinkMon utility. If the STA is configured properly
then you will be able to perform ping test as well as other network
applications that a wired Ethernet device can perform.
1. Choose Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt to open the
command prompt window. Type “ipconfig” to determine if the TCP/IP
configuration has taken effect. To test IP connectivity in ad hoc or
infrastructure mode, use the “ping <ipaddress>” command.
