A d Hoc Networks
In the ad hoc mode, nodes communicate directly (connections 1 through 3 in
Figure 1-2) without involving a SCALANCE W78x with each other (connection 4).
The nodes access common resources (files or even devices, for example a printer)
of the server. This is, of course, only possible when the nodes are within the
wireless range of the server or within each other's range.
