5.5.2 TRANSMISSION MODES

Wireless communication has two modes: 1) ad hoc mode, and 2) infrastructure mode.
Ad Hoc Mode
The ad hoc mode allows communication between each device (station) in a simple
peer-to-peer network. In this mode, all devices must use the same channel to communicate.
In this machine, the default transmission mode is ad hoc mode and the default channel is
11. First, set up the machine in ad hoc mode and program the necessary settings, even if
the machine will be used in the infrastructure mode.
To switch between ad hoc and infrastructure modes, use the following user tool: Host
Interface Menu - IEEE802.11b - Comm Mode
Infrastructure Mode
The infrastructure mode allows communication between each computer and the printer via
an access point equipped with an antenna and wired into the network. This arrangement is
used in more complex topologies. The wireless LAN client must use the same SSID
(Service Set ID) as the access point in order to communicate.
