short for Station, each terminal connects to a wireless network (such as laptops, PDA and
other networking devices) can be called with a STA device.

STA
Infrastructure: it’s also called basic network. It built by AP and many STAs which join in.
The characters of network of this type are that AP is the center, and all communication between
STAs is transmitted through the AP. The figure following shows such type of networking.

AP
Because USR-WIFI232-A/B/C can be set to AP, can also be set to STA, so the USR-WIFI232-
A/B/C can be achieved easily wireless ad hoc network.
As showing in the figure below, USR-WIFI232-A/B/C (1) can be treat as an AP, and USR-
WIFI232-A/B/C (2), USR-WIFI232-A/B/C (3) and the laptop are STAs connected to USR-
WIFI232-A/B/C (1). Meanwhile, all USR-WIFI232-A/B/C modules can connected to user device
via UART interface. All USR-WIFI232-A/B/C modules can be operated and managed through the
laptop. So it is convenient to O&M all USR-WIFI232-A/B/C modules. Moreover, in such Adhoc
network structure, the whole coverage of a wireless network can be extended easily.
