9.5 Station Mode
The DMA-1000W acts as a wireless LAN client. You can either set the network type to
Infrastructure and connect to an Access Point (AP) or use Ad-Hoc mode and connect to
another wireless device in Ad-Hoc mode (like a computer with a wireless client) without an
AP. See
Section 9.7.0.2 on page 57 for how to configure the network type.
The DMA can connect to your computers on the wired network through an Access Point (AP).
This is called
Infrastructure mode.
Figure 28 Infrastructure Mode
The DMA can also connect to a computer that is a wireless client without using an AP. This is
called
Ad-Hoc mode.
Figure 29 Ad-Hoc Mode
9.6 WEP Encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption stops unauthorized devices from using your
wireless network and protects your wireless communications from eavesdropping.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption scrambles all data packets transmitted between
the DMA and the AP or other wireless stations to keep network communications private. The
wireless stations and access point must use the same WEP key for data encryption and
decryption. Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot
decrypt (unscramble) the message.
If you do not use WEP with your DMA, the DMA’s wireless communications are accessible to
any wireless networking device that is in within range.
