Network Basics NETWORKS DETAIL Ad hoc mode Terminology: Infrastructure mode is referred to as an "independent basic service set" (IBSS). It is sometimes called "peer-topeer mode". On a network of Apple Macintosh computers, it may be called "computer-tocomputer mode". Topology: In ad hoc mode the wireless devices on a network communicate directly with each other, and access points are not used. Ad hoc mode is used for very small networks. Performance in an ad hoc network degrades as you add more devices to the network; typically, ad hoc networks connect no more than six devices. In ad hoc mode you can select the channel. Make sure that all devices on the network are set to the same channel. file:///C|/Bottlecap_Structure_26--TestMerge/DOCS/EN/NETBASIC/FNWD0050.HTM [5/20/2003 3:41:04 PM]
