This chapter will describe how to configure the SIMATIC NET Industrial
Wireless LAN network for:
•
Peer-to-Peer workgroups, and
•
Infrastructure networks
A Peer-to-Peer workgroup consists of several wireless stations
communicating directly with each other without bridging data via the RLM
(see
Figure 9 Peer-to-Peer
To set up a Peer-to-Peer workgroup operating with the standard protocols,
do the following:
•
Set all stations to connect to a Peer-to-Peer workgroup.
•
Set all stations to use the same Network Name.
•
Set all stations to use an identical encryption key.
