Network Environment

Wi-Fi communications on the LinkIt Smart 7688 development platform offers two operating
modes: Access Point and Station. This section describes those two modes.

3.5.1.

Access Point Mode

In AP mode a LinkIt Smart 7688 development board forms a LAN and acts as an access point, as
shown in Figure 12. AP mode is used mainly to configure

the board settings.

Figure 12 LinkIt Smart 7688 in AP Mode

3.5.2.

Station Mode

In Station mode a LinkIt Smart 7688 development board is able to access the Internet by joining a
Wi-Fi network, as shown in Figure 13.
