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]

NETWORKS
DETAIL
Ad hoc mode
Terminology:
Infrastructure mode is
referred to as an
"independent basic service
set" (IBSS). It is
sometimes called "peer-to-
peer mode". On a network
of Apple Macintosh
computers, it may be
called "computer-to-
computer 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.
