Connecting to a Network Using an Access Point
An infrastructure network consists of one or more access points and one or more computers
with wireless adapters installed. Each access point must have a wired connection to the Local
Area Network (LAN).
The following describes how to create a new profile using the Profile Wizard and connect to an
access point using the Connect button. You can also connect to a network, by using the Scan
button.

13. Click the
Connect
button to connect to the ad hoc network.
Connecting to a Peer-to-Peer (Ad Hoc) Network
In peer-to-peer (ad hoc) mode, you can send and receive information to other computers
without using an access point. Each computer in a peer-to-peer network is called a peer.
To create or join an ad hoc network, enter a personal password. Network related settings
(SSID), operating mode, WEP 128-bit encryption, and IP addresses are automatically created.
Once a network connection is established, after permission rights are given by other computers
in the ad hoc network, you can freely share files. All wireless clients in the ad hoc network must
use the same network name (SSID) and channel number. For a list of allowed 802.11b ad hoc
channels, refer to the Adapter Settings for more information.
NOTE:
While scanning with an ad hoc profile set to a specific transmit channel, if an ad
hoc network is found on another channel, you will be connected using the new channel.
