Set up and join ad hoc networks
Ad hoc networks allow wireless stations to communicate directly with each other
without any WLAN access points. The stations can, for instance, share folders. One
user creates the ad hoc network and other users then join the network.
See “Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)” on page 6 for more information on ad
hoc networks.
To connect to an ad hoc network:
1
On the
Profiles
page, select the
General
tab and click
Select
.

The
Select Connection
dialog box opens. Open the
Easy connection
profile
and select the
WLAN (ad hoc)
connection type. Click
OK
.

If you are starting an ad hoc network, type the network name. If you are joining
a network, select the network name from the list box. Click
OK
.
Tip:
Create your own profile for ad hoc networking with the profile wizard if
you use the ad hoc operating mode frequently. This saves you from having to
select a network each time and allows for quicker access. See “Create new
profiles” on page 21 for more information.
End network connections
Closing the Monitor or Manager window does not quit the program or end an
existing network connection. To end a connection, select the connection type
Off
