SMCs EZ Connect Wireless Solution supports a
standalone wireless network configuration as
well as an integrated configuration with 10Mbps
Ethernet LANs.
The SMC wireless network cards, adapters,
Access Point and Wireless Bridge can be
configured as:
Ad hoc for departmental or SOHO LANs
Infrastructure for enterprise LANs
Infrastructure for inter-building LANs
Network Topologies
Ad Hoc Wireless LAN (no AP or
Bridge)
An ad hoc wireless LAN consists of a group of
computers, each equipped with a wireless
adapter, connected via radio signals as an
independent wireless LAN. Computers in a
specific ad hoc wireless LAN must therefore be
configured to the same radio channel.
An ad hoc wireless LAN can be used for a
branch office or SOHO operation.
