Peer to Peer (Ad Hoc) setting
Ad Hoc mode can build a peer-to-peer network structure without wireless AP.
Computers configured with wireless network card can connect with each
other wirelessly through this mode. The network building process for Ad Hoc
wireless LAN is very simple as it leaves out wireless AP. But the transmission
distance for wireless network card is generally around 40m in indoor
environment, when the distance exceeds this effective transmission distance,
communication cannot be realized. So this mode is suitable for simple and
provisional wireless connection requirements.
The operations introduced below will show you how to connect the product
with computer through Ad Hoc mode.
1. Firstly, set the product’s wireless network, select “Ad Hoc” and enter.
2. Set the product’s wireless SSID name in the wireless network. You can
edit the name whatever you like. Other computers configured with
wireless network card can see the SSID name of your product through
searching.
3. Select security modes for your wireless network: open system or WEP
(Wireless Equivalent Privacy). If you choose open system, other
computers configured with wireless network card can connect with your
product freely when searching out it. If you choose WEP, you need to set
the shared key (10-25 numbers), and then other computers can connect
with your product after inputting network key.
4. Set the IP address of your host, making sure that the address will not
conflict with IP addresses of other wireless facilities. When the above
three settings are finished, press “OK” to save your setting and start
testing. If the connection is tested to be successful, interface showing
network information will be displayed. Then you can check the set
parameters.
