B5: What is the difference between "Infrastructure" and "802.11 Ad
Hoc" Network Mode?
How do I choose?
Infrastructure Mode is used to connect yourToshiba Pocket PC e750/
e755 with the Access Point. Usually, to form a Wireless Network, you
can connect your Access Point to the ADSL, Cable Model or LAN
Ethernet and then configure the Access Point base on the User Guide
for the Access Point to set the proper SSID, Channel and WEP secu-
rity service. After that, configure the IEEE 802.11b WLAN adapter. Set
the same SSID, Channel and WEP as the Access Point's. 802.11 Ad
Hoc Mode allows your Toshiba Pocket PC e750/e755 to form its own
local network where devices communicate peer-to-peer, using a
shared SSID, without Access Points. Under 802.11 Ad Hoc mode, the
SSID must be the same among stations so that the devices can
communicate properly within the Wireless Network. If you want to
form your network without any Access Points, you should choose
802.11 Ad Hoc mode.
