FS-5 Functions

WIFI MODE

This function sets the type of wireless connection that the FS-5
uses.
• MANAGED
Managed mode is used when making a wireless connection
to a structured LAN where central access points are used
and devices are managed through the network.
• ADHOC (P2P)
Ad-hoc mode is a method for connecting wireless devices
directly to each other. Successful implementation of Ad hoc
mode requires that:
• All wireless adapters must be configured for ad hoc
mode.
• All ad hoc wireless adapters must use the same ESSID
and channel number.
• Only a small number of devices, within close range, can
be in the ad hoc network. As number of devices and
range increase, performance falls.
• All wireless devices within range must be able to
discover and communicate in peer-to-peer fashion
without employing central access points. This includes
broadband wireless routers that use central access points.
• Ad-hoc networks cannot bridge to wired LANs or to the
Internet without installing a special-purpose gateway.
