1.3 Wireless Network Scenarios
As our 802.11g USB 2.0 Adapter is interoperable and compatible with other
IEEE 802.11g compliant products from other manufacturers, it offers you the
most freedom to establish your ideal wireless network. Therefore, after
installing 802.11g USB 2.0 Adapter, you can connect your computer to:
(1) A
Peer-to-Peer Workgroup
of 802.11g compliant wireless devices.
(2) A
LAN
(Local Area Networking) constructed by Access Point(s) or
other 802.11g compliant systems.
(3)
Share your Internet access
by using just one connection, share
printers and other peripheral devices, share data and image files
between networked PCs, play multi-player games, and use other
network enabled sharing resources.
1.3.1 Ad Hoc Mode
A group of wireless stations can form a wireless network without a centralized
Access Point involved. This is called an Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS
or Ad Hoc).
An Ad Hoc Network could be easily set up with this 802.11g USB 2.0 Adapter,
PCs or other WLAN devices. Therefore, it is very convenient to build a
network for temporary use, such as for demonstration in exhibition, for new
sales point/branch use and alike.
