Ad Hoc Mode
In the Ad Hoc Mode, client computers can access to the equipment directory through a wireless network
without an Access Point. The Ad Hoc Mode is not suitable for the wireless network that many computers are
connected, however, it is easy to establish the wireless network because the Access Point is not required.
 Determine the SSID
In the wireless network, the same SSID (Service Set ID) must be assigned in each wireless device. Only
wireless devices that have the same SSID assigned to them can communicate with each other through the
wireless network.
In the Infrastructure Mode, the SSID is usually set in the Access Point. Therefore, you must set the same
SSID in this equipment to communicate through the wireless network via the Access Point.
In the Ad Hoc Mode, you must assign the same SSID that is assigned to other client computers. To access
the devices each other in the Ad Hoc Mode, the same SSID must be assigned to each device.
 Determine the security mode
This equipment supports the following wireless security modes.
WPA/WPA2/802.1X
Using the WPA/WPA2/802.1X, you can restrict the access to the wireless network using the RADIUS server.
The WPA/WPA2/802.1X is available only when the wireless network is established in the Infrastructure Mode.
There are two protocols for the WPA/WPA2/802.1X, EAP-TLS or PEAP.
When using the EAP-TLS authentication, you must install user certification file and CA certification file (must
be either DER, BASE64, or PKCS#7 encoding format) in the equipment. This equipment uses the user
certification file (must be exported as a private key in PKCS#12 encoding format) to authenticate the access
rights to the wireless network, and the RADIUS server authenticates this equipment using the user ID and
password.
When using the PEAP, you must install the CA certification file (must be either DER, BASE64, or PKCS#7
encoding format) in the equipment. This equipment uses the user name and password to authenticate the
access rights to the wireless network, and the RADIUS server authenticate this equipment using the CA
certification file.
